The aim of this study was to perform an integrative literature review to discover methods to foster academic success for underrepresented students pre- and postadmission to prelicensure nursing programs.
The US population is progressing to a minority-majority population. To effectively meet the needs of a diverse population, nursing recognizes the need to racially and ethnically diversify the workforce by increasing the diversity of students admitted to nursing schools. Although the need is widely known, minority groups remain underrepresented in nursing programs, and there is a need for sustainable recruitment and retention strategies.
An integrative literature review on how to foster the success of underrepresented students was performed.
Proposed interventions include mentoring, financial support, academic and psychosocial support, and student success programs.
Tailoring interventions to specific student needs would be effective in enhancing student success.
本研究旨在进行综合文献回顾，以发现方法，在进入护理课程之前和之后培养代表性不足的学生的学业成功。
美国人口正在向少数多数人口转变。为了有效地满足多样化人口的需求，护理认识到需要通过增加进入护理学校的学生的多样性来使劳动力在种族和民族上多样化。尽管这一需求广为人知，但少数民族群体在护理项目中仍然代表性不足，因此需要可持续的招聘和留用策略。
对如何培养代表性不足学生的成功进行了综合文献回顾。
提出的干预措施包括指导、经济支持、学术和社会心理支持以及学生成功计划。
根据学生的具体需求调整干预措施将有效地提高学生的成功。
