The purpose of this scoping review was to map key themes in the Canadian literature on the professional integration of internationally educated nurses (IENs), identify the types and sources of and gaps in evidence, and offer recommendations for research. The work was guided by a 6-step methodological framework for scoping reviews. The search and selection of academic and grey literature for the period 2000-13 resulted in a sample of 157 papers for full-text screening. Themes derived from the literature reflect stages of IENs' professional integration: pre-immigration and early arrival, professional recertification, workforce integration, and workplace integration. Data were extracted, coded, and collated using electronic charts. Numerical and qualitative thematic summaries were used to analyze the data. Recommendations for research are as follows: create data systems to track IEN immigration and integration; determine the effectiveness of programs and policies for IENs; and examine the influence of language proficiency on professional recertification, workplace integration, and patient safety.
本范围综述的目的是梳理加拿大文献中有关国际教育护士（IENs）职业融入的关键主题，确定证据的类型、来源及差距，并提出研究建议。这项工作以范围综述的六步方法框架为指导。对2000年至2013年期间的学术文献和灰色文献进行检索和筛选，最终获得157篇论文样本进行全文筛选。从文献中得出的主题反映了国际教育护士职业融入的各个阶段：移民前和刚抵达时、职业重新认证、劳动力融入和工作场所融入。使用电子图表提取、编码和整理数据。采用数值和定性主题摘要对数据进行分析。研究建议如下：创建数据系统以跟踪国际教育护士的移民和融入情况；确定针对国际教育护士的项目和政策的有效性；研究语言能力对职业重新认证、工作场所融入和患者安全的影响。
