To become a competent health professional, the nature of new graduates' transition plays a fundamental role. The systematic integrative review will aim to identify the existing literature pertaining to the barriers during transition, the facilitators and the evidence-based coping strategies that assist new graduate health professionals to successfully transition from students to health professionals.
The integrative review will be conducted using Whittemore and Knafl's integrative review methodology. Boolean search terms have been developed in consultation with an experienced librarian, using Medical Subject Heading terms on Medline. The following electronic databases have been chosen to ensure that all relevant literature are captured for this review: PubMed, EBSCOhost (including Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Medline, Academic Search Premier, Health Science: Nursing and Academic Edition), Scopus and Web of Science. A follow-up on the reference list of selected articles will be done to ensure that all relevant literature is included. The Covidence platform will be used to facilitate the process.
Ethical approval is not required for this integrative review since the existing literature will be synthesised. The integrative review will be published in a peer-reviewed journal once all the steps have been completed. The findings will also be presented at international and national conferences to ensure maximum dissemination.
要成为一名合格的医疗保健专业人员，新毕业生的过渡性质起着至关重要的作用。本系统综述旨在确定现有文献中与新毕业的医疗保健专业人员在过渡期间所面临的障碍、促进因素以及基于证据的应对策略相关的内容，这些策略可以帮助他们成功地从学生过渡到医疗保健专业人员。
本综述将采用 Whittemore 和 Knafl 的综合评价方法进行。与经验丰富的图书馆员协商后，使用 Medline 上的医学主题词开发了布尔搜索词。选择以下电子数据库是为了确保涵盖所有相关文献：PubMed、EBSCOhost（包括护理学和联合健康文献累积索引 (CINAHL)、Medline、学术搜索高级版、健康科学：护理和学术版）、Scopus 和 Web of Science。将对选定文章的参考文献进行跟进，以确保纳入所有相关文献。Covidence 平台将用于协助这一过程。
由于本次综合评价将综合现有文献，因此不需要伦理批准。一旦完成所有步骤，本综合评价将在同行评审期刊上发表。研究结果还将在国际和国家会议上展示，以确保最大程度的传播。
