Nurses continue to migrate to Canada. Majority are visible minorities. Once employed, internationally educated nurses can struggle to integrate into their workplaces. A comprehensive understanding of factors that support internationally educated nurses' workplace integration is lacking, limiting our ability to design appropriate policies and practices.
The aim is to (1) examine internationally educated nurses' perceptions of the extent to which they have integrated in their workplaces and the individual and contextual factors that supported their workplace integration, (2) explore whether internationally educated nurses' perceptions differed by visible minority status, and (3) identify the key factors that predict internationally educated nurses' workplace integration.
Cross-sectional survey of 1215 internationally educated nurses. All were immigrants, permanent residents, and employed as regulated nurses. Multiple linear regression was used to examine the influence of individual and contextual factors on perceived degree of workplace integration.
Visible minority status had a large, statistically significant negative association with workplace integration ( = -0.236, <.001). Good relationships with coworkers ( =0.043, <.005), and continuing to develop nursing knowledge and skills ( =0.178, <.003), had statistically significant, positive associations with workplace integration.
Internationally educated nurses' visible minority status can influence their workplaces. Providing education, managerial support, and mentorship fosters internationally educated nurses' workplace integration.
护士继续移民到加拿大。他们中的大多数是少数族裔。一旦受雇，具有国际教育背景的护士可能难以融入工作场所。对支持具有国际教育背景的护士融入工作场所的因素缺乏全面了解，限制了我们设计适当政策和实践的能力。
目的是：(1) 检查具有国际教育背景的护士对其在工作场所融入程度的看法，以及支持其工作场所融入的个人和背景因素；(2) 探讨具有国际教育背景的护士的看法是否因少数族裔身份而异；(3) 确定预测具有国际教育背景的护士工作场所融入的关键因素。
对 1215 名具有国际教育背景的护士进行横断面调查。所有参与者均为移民、永久居民，且受雇为注册护士。采用多元线性回归分析个体和背景因素对感知工作场所融合程度的影响。
少数族裔身份与工作场所融合程度呈显著负相关（ = -0.236，<0.001）。与同事的良好关系（ =0.043，<0.005）和持续发展护理知识和技能（ =0.178，<0.003）与工作场所融合呈显著正相关。
具有国际教育背景的护士的少数族裔身份会影响他们的工作场所。提供教育、管理支持和指导有助于具有国际教育背景的护士融入工作场所。
