Full textAbstract:
Individuals seeking refuge in host countries is a global reality. Some of these individuals are qualified nurses. If, and when, the documents pertaining to a nurse qualification are not presented to the respective authorities of a host country, the challenges for these qualified nurses to secure registration and employment as nurses are numerous and often unsurmountable. Access to higher education opportunities is similarly compromised in the absence of relevant documents. This is happening against the backdrop of a widely reported global shortage of qualified nurses, and an extensive effort and investment to address this shortage in many countries. This paper explores the feasibility and appropriateness of applying internationally recognized frameworks of competences of nurses, to processes which seek to evaluate and verify the nurse training and qualification claimed by refugee nurses. The author seeks to determine whether such frameworks of nurse competences may effectively and efficiently contribute towards initiatives which are geared towards addressing the gap in (qualification) document availability, traceability, verification and reproduction of nurse refugees. A critical consideration of a few existent initiatives is presented in view of exploring, the identification of a tool which may enable a homogenous transnational approach which is consistent across salient parameters.

Full textAbstract:
IntroductionMany countries in Europe are facing a shortage of nurses and seek effective recruitment and retention strategies. The nursing workforce is increasingly diverse in its educational background, ranging from 3-year vocational training (diploma) to bachelor and master educated nurses. This study analyses recruitment and retention strategies for academically educated nurses (minimum bachelor), including intention to leave, job satisfaction and work engagement compared with diploma nurses in innovative German hospitals; it explores recruitment and retention challenges and opportunities, and identifies lessons on recruitment and retention taking an international perspective.Methods and analysisThe study will apply a convergent mixed-methods design, including qualitative and quantitative methods. The qualitative study will include semistructured interviews among hospital managers, nurses, students and stakeholders in Germany. In addition, expert interviews will be conducted internationally in countries with a higher proportion of bachelor/master nurses in hospitals. The quantitative, cross-sectional study will consist of a survey among professional nurses (bachelor/master, diploma nurses) in German hospitals. Study settings are hospitals with a higher-than-average proportion of bachelor nurses or relevant recruitment, work environment or retention strategies in place. Analyses will be conducted in several phases, first in parallel, then combined via triangulation: the parallel analysis technique will analyse the qualitative and quantitative data separately via content analyses (interviews) and descriptive, bivariate and multivariate analyses (survey). Subsequently, data sources will be collectively analysed via a triangulation matrix focusing on developing thematic exploratory clusters at three systemic levels: microlevel, mesolevel and macrolevel. The analyses will be relevant for generating lessons for clinical nursing, management and policy in Germany and internationally.Ethics and disseminationEthics approval was obtained by the Charité Ethics Committee.Several dissemination channels will be used, including publications and presentations, for the scientific community, nursing management, clinical nurses and the wider public in Germany and internationally.

Introduction: International nurses account for 20% of the Australian nurse workforce. This review aims to identify and appraise research findings on the experiences of internationally qualified registered nurses working in the Australian healthcare system. Methodology: The review was structured using Whittemore and Knafl modified framework for integrated reviews. A systematic database search was undertaken. Articles ( n = 48) were identified for appraisal based on set inclusion and exclusion criteria. Evaluation using the Critical Appraisal Skills Program tool resulted in ( n = 16) articles in the final data set. Results: Three broad themes were identified: (a) Transitioning—Need for appropriate, timely, and adequate supports to assist transition to practice; (b) Practicing within local contexts—How expectations were different to the reality of clinical practice; and (c) Experiencing prejudice—when racial prejudice occurred. Discussion: Appropriate programs including cultural-safety education can mitigate adverse workforce dynamics within culturally diverse health care teams to enable provision of culturally congruent health care.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents a policy perspective on the topical issue of migration and registration of internationally qualified health practitioners (IQHPs), with a focus on international medical graduates and internationally qualified nurses and midwives. Current views, regulatory governance and recommendations affecting skilled migration and registration of IQHPs were examined, specifically whether current and proposed practices are transparent, consistent, equitable, robust, cost-effective and assist in ensuring IQHPs demonstrate the necessary qualifications and experience for protection of the Australian public. The complexity of the current regulatory and administrative application and approval processes for IQHPs seeking to live and work in the Australian healthcare setting provides significant opportunities for future research, particularly those areas of reform under consideration by the Health Ministers’ Advisory Council.

Full textAbstract:
Background: New Zealand is reliant upon internationally qualified nurses (IQNs) working within aged residential care (ARC), despite the fact that many of these nurses have limited or no ARC or palliative care experience before arriving in the country. Aims: To understand the issues faced by IQNs providing palliative care to people in ARC. To understand how the palliative aged residential care (PARC) specialist nurse team can best support IQNs. Methods: A thematic analysis was undertaken from five focus group interviews with IQNs (n=24) from ARC facilities in the Christchurch and Canterbury regions. Findings: Unfamiliarity with New Zealand 's palliative care and ARC systems, cultural differences and communication barriers caused internal struggles. Transitioning to a New Zealand approach to palliative care highlighted participants' adaptability and resilience. Consistent approaches to training and support by the PARC team and additional cultural training within New Zealand Competence Assessment Programmes (CAP) are required. Conclusion: Ongoing education, support and role modelling to develop confidence and reduce internal struggles are required for IQNs providing palliative care in ARC.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study was to examine nurses’ views on the impact that mass media has on service users and how this affects nurse/service user interactions. Internationally, the mass media is an important source of health information for the public. Media framing therefore exerts considerable influence on the public’s perceptions of healthcare professionals and services. However, it is not known how the reporting of health stories by the media impacts the work of front-line nursing staff. This is a qualitative interpretivist study using a single case study design, and includes semi-structured interviews with qualified nursing staff ( n = 31) within a large hospital in the United Kingdom. There are three key themes: ‘scaremongering health stories’, ‘negative portrayal of the nursing profession’ and ‘informed service users’. Nurses perceived media framing of health and healthcare services as predominantly negative. Nurses need greater awareness of how service users receive and respond to health information and how health stories are reported. Closer engagement between health journalists and nurses through ‘journalist-in-residence’ programmes could enable nurses and journalists to gain greater appreciation of their respective sets of knowledge to support shared and informed decision-making between service users and professionals.

This paper details a protocol for a systematic review that will be used to identify, critically appraise, and synthesize current academic evidence relating talent management practices for internationally trained nurses in healthcare organizations. Databases used in the search will include CINAHL with full text (EBSCOhost), PubMED, PsycINFO, Embase, Business Source Complete, Academic Source Complete, Web of Science, and Medline. Searches are limited to studies in English. Based on receiving funding approval in May this review will systematically search all materials in databases up until 2022, with predetermined search terms. All studies will be screened based on specific criteria and predetermined search terms using the Boolean terminology. Risk of any bias will be considered and assessed using the checklist provided by the National Institute of Health and Clinical excellence. Two assessors will review the findings using convergence and any disagreement will be settled by a third-party reviewer. The systematic review will produce a synthesis of the data related to talent management practices for internationally trained nurses in healthcare settings, as well as outlining areas for further research. The study will be the first of its type to systematically review and synthesize talent management practices for internationally trained nurses. In particular, the findings will provide the latest, validated evidence to narrate the development talent management practices specifically in relation to the strategically important cohort of internationally trained nurses in healthcare organizations. It will also help create a pipeline of suitably qualified candidates for future roles, as well as helping internationally trained nurses identify career trajectories. By systematically gathering and analyzing the relevant research, a stakeholder informed evidence-based approach to talent management for this cohort can be informed as a way of improving the quality and safety of care to the patient.

Full textAbstract:
Background
Twenty-nine per cent of registered nurses in Australia received their first nursing qualification in a country other than Australia. Therefore, understanding the process of successfully transitioning internationally qualified nurses into a foreign healthcare system is vital to ensure the provision of safe, quality nursing care for all Australians.
Aim
The aim of this study was to explore how internationally qualified registered nurses and Australian qualified registered nurses adapt to working together in the Australian healthcare system and develop a theory that explains this process.
Research question
What is the process by which internationally qualified registered nurses are integrated into the Australian healthcare system?
Methodology
Grounded theory methodology was used in this study. Concurrent data collection/generation and analysis of online survey data (n = 186) and individual participant interviews (n = 15) was undertaken. Storyline was used as a technique of advanced analysis to integrate and present the theory. Two focus groups (n = 9 and n = 7) were held to evaluate and validate the theory.
Findings
International and Australian nurses work together to enable the successful integration of international nurses into practice. Four phases underpin professional socialisation, enculturation and adaption to the cultural norms of the workplace: (i) joining the game: adapting to context—observing and learning the cultural norms; (ii) learning the game: becoming socialised—receiving support; (iii) playing by the rules: aligning scope— communicating for quality care; and (iv) the end game—integration. These phases interconnect to form the final theory of 'playing the game'—a grounded theory of the integration of international nurses in the Australian healthcare system.
Discussion
Nurse migration trends to Australia have seen an increase in international nurses from developing countries. Context of the work milieu as the dynamic playing field is instrumental in understanding how authentic leadership and positive work environments support integration processes. Consequences for unsuccessful integration are significant and result in: negative work environments; patient dissatisfaction; adverse events; damaged reputations of registered nurses, organisations and the profession; and loss of skilled and experienced registered nurses from the profession.
Conclusion
The findings of the research are significant for the nursing workforce in Australia in relation to the recruitment, retention and integration of experienced registered nurses. Promotion of cultural responsiveness education and integration strategies prevents the attrition of experienced registered nurses. Recommendations are made to inform policies and practices for sustaining a workforce that will provide quality nursing care for all Australian citizens, regardless of the place of origin of the nurse or where they obtained their initial nursing qualification.

Full textAbstract:
Internationally qualified health practitioners (IQHP) seeking to live and work in Australia are required to obtain the appropriate skilled migration visa through an assessment by the Department of Home Affairs and the approved assessing authority and registration by the relevant health practitioner board. Regulators create policy frameworks, standards and assessment models to meet the requirements of the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law (as in force in each state and territory) and the legislation governing Australia’s General Skilled Migration program.
This research investigated the current policies and processes governing skilled migration and registration for internationally qualified nurses, midwives and doctors in Australia. The study was informed by rich qualitative data extracted from 28 in-depth semi-structured participant interviews. Shared experiences were mapped and examined for four key participant groups: assessors operationalising the current policies and processes governing skilled migration and registration; educators offering preparatory and training programs to IQHP; workforce agencies engaging with and recruiting IQHP; and internationally qualified doctors, nurses and midwives from across the globe.
Key themes and points of intersection between the participants’ experiences and the regulatory frameworks were identified using theory and data-driven coding and thematic analysis via NVivo 12 plus software. The findings were presented in three papers. Paper one, a policy perspective, examined current views, regulatory reviews and overall governance of skilled migration and registration of IQHP in Australia. Paper two, a case study, presented key themes and points of intersection identified between regulatory frameworks and shared experiences of 28 research participants separated into four discrete groups. The final paper presented the lived experiences of the second participant group, 15 IQHP, who described their complex, culturally challenging and costly journeys seeking their shared dream of living and working in Australia.
The research provides information and recommendations to assist regulators in ensuring that the standards, policy frameworks and organisational processes used to assess the suitability of IQHP for skilled migration and entry onto the Australian health practitioners register and ultimately into the health workforce are fair, transparent, consistent, equitable and robust, and assist in ensuring IQHP demonstrate the necessary qualifications and experience for protection of the Australian public. It is clear from the research that further exploration and more innovative and evidence-based solutions are required to support and reform the standards, guidelines and policy which are used to regulate and assess IQHP.Thesis (Ph.D.) -- University of Adelaide, Adelaide Nursing School, 2020

Abstract Caroline Stevensen is a private Holistic Healthcare Consultant and Practitioner, Senior Lecturer in Clinical Aromatherapy at Oxford Brookes University, and Director of Services for the Haven Trust. Her background includes a degree in social work and she is a registered nurse. She specializes in body therapies and is qualified in acupuncture, shiatsu, aromatherapy, massage, reflex zone therapy, and iridology. She has published research on the effects of aromatherapy massage on post cardiac surgery patients. She is deputy editor of Complementary Therapies in Nursing and Midwifery: An International Journal. Cancer nursing care has benefited from the expertise of specialist nurses world-wide. Generally, specialist cancer nurses assist patients receiving surgery, chemotherapy, radio therapy, needing pain relief, suffering from lymphoedema, those requiring psychological support, and they support patients who are dying and their carers. These roles are vital for patients to receive optimum care with conventional treatments. In recent years there has been a new breed of nurse specialist emerging in the field of cancer care. These nurses are specializing in the use of complementary therapies or are incorporating the use of complementary therapies into their existing practice with patients (Stevensen 1996; Corner et al. 1995). This chapter will explore issues surrounding the inclusion of complementary therapies into cancer nursing practice.

This article highlights the issues that may arise whenimplementing online education in a developing country. In 2005, Faculté des Sciences Infirmières (FSIL) opened in Leogane, Haiti. The mission of this school is to provide nursing professionals for the country of Haiti, especially the southern half of the country. This facility was built with funds from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and is managed by the l’Université Episcopale d’Haïti. The school maintains a curricular format similar to that of baccalaureate nursing programs in the U.S. Haiti is in great need of health care professionals. In Haiti, there are 11 nurses per 100,000 population. In the U.S. this ratio is 770 per 100,000. Given that infant mortality is 10 times worse than that in the U.S. and that the lifespan is 15-20 years less, the need for qualified health care professionals is overwhelming. Even though the income of FSIL is 1/3 what is actually needed, the school has managed to keep enrolling students and maintaining the facility. They have also managed to maintain a computer lab with 13 computers and a stable satellite Internet connection. The author visited the campus in July of 2007. The purpose of this initial visit was to evaluate the information technology structure and the capabilities of the staff and students to determine what if any connections could be made between American nursing programs and FSIL. A SWOT analysis was conducted to assess internal strengths and weaknesses for FSIL as well as external Opportunities and Threats related to using E-learning to enhance FSIL.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this paper is to examine the curriculum requirements for the development of clinical research coordinators (CRCs). In particular, the purpose of this paper is to examine and clarify what kind of effect their prior knowledge and skills had in acquiring the basic knowledge and skills of CRCs when they landed this profession. Clinical trials on human subjects are trials to test the efficacy and safety of drug candidates (hereafter referred to as investigational drugs). CRCs come from a variety of backgrounds, including licensed nurses, licensed laboratory technicians, and non-medically qualified personnel. Companies must provide initial and ongoing education to CRCs to ensure they become an asset in the company. However, there is no uniform training curriculum in the industry to date, as each company is providing its own training to CRCs. In this study, we conducted in-depth interviews with six CRCs at Company F in Fukuoka, Japan, including three new CRCs (one CRC a certified laboratory technician, one CRC a certified nurse and one CRC without a medical license). In addition, CRCs’ work practices were conducted by participant observation to examine what kind of initial education is needed for CRCs with different backgrounds, in line with the qualitative data.

Full textAbstract:
This study addresses the challenge of nurses in relation to guidance on the rights of pregnant women, focusing on the fundamental role of nurses in guiding pregnant women on their rights. The aim of this study is to analyze the role of nurses in providing pregnant women with knowledge of their rights, and also to identify the flaws in the communication process between nurses and pregnant women that influence their knowledge of their rights. The integrative, qualitative and descriptive literature review used scientific articles, official documents and databases. Effective communication between nursing professionals and pregnant women is a notorious challenge directly linked to the pregnant woman's knowledge. The results show that failures in communication generate doubts, anxiety and nervousness, leading to the pregnant woman's lack of knowledge of her rights. The pregnant woman's knowledge of her rights is directly linked to the guidance she receives during prenatal care and if there is no effective and clear communication, this guidance is not passed on properly. Nurses are in charge of guiding pregnant women and providing them with qualified and humanized care, so that they can feel safe and have their rights ensured, and for this to happen properly it is important that there is effective communication and programs that disseminate information about the rights of pregnant women, in lectures and actions within the scope of basic health units. It can be concluded that nurses are the key to ensuring that pregnant women have adequate guidance on their rights and feel safe in the knowledge that they have somewhere to go to ensure that this happens. For this to happen, nurses must be aligned with their team, and with good management it is possible to implement means of communication to disseminate information on pregnant women's rights.

Full textAbstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic remains a major public health challenge. Most patients infected with the SARS-CoV2 virus are critical patients requiring admission to intensive care units (ICU) and qualified nursing care. However, the experiences of nurses from China and Italy showed that one of the biggest obstacles in the care of patients with the disease occurred within the scope of the organization of trained and qualified teams, staff dimensioning, management of supplies and equipment, and attention to the mental health of these professionals. Faced with this pandemic scenario, professional nurses face important challenges concerning care and the quality of nursing services in intensive care. The objective of this research will be to identify the impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic on the life habits of professionals from the Nursing teams who work in the Intensive Care Units in the municipality of Campos dos Goytacazes-RJ. This is a cross-sectional study to be carried out between October and December 2021. Data collection will be carried out through an online questionnaire (Google Forms®) whose sample will consistof professionals from the Nursing teams (nurses and nursing technicians), working in the Intensive Care Units of Private and Public Hospitals in the city of Campos dos Goytacazes-RJ. Subsequently, the data obtained will be analyzed using descriptive statistics in the SPSS® software. This study aims to contribute to improving the quality of life and health of nursing professionals working in ICUs and, consequently, the quality of care and patient safety. Furthermore, it is expected that the results corroborate the need to implement health protection strategies for these professionals in the context of the pandemic.

Full textAbstract:
The increase in life expectancy and the decrease in fertility rates represent the new demographic census in Brazil and in the world. The main consequence of population aging is mainly the new challenges in the treatment of pathologies resulting from advancing age and how to treat our new elderly. Among the existing geriatric diseases, the occurrence of Urinary Incontinence (UI) and Fecal Incontinence (FI) is common, representing a challenge to health professionals, especially nursing. Given this scenario, how prepared is the nursing team to face these pathologies? Objective: To analyze the knowledge of nurses in the identification of Urinary and Fecal Incontinence in institutionalized elderly people. Method: this is a cross-sectional and descriptive research, with quantitative analysis. It was carried out in a Long-Term Care Institution for the Elderly with nurses, who agreed to participate in the research. Data collection took place in the first week of September 2023, on alternating days and shifts to include all employees of the institution. The data were organized into tables and imported into an Excel file for analysis by the researchers. Results: The sociodemographic results showed that most of the team was composed of nurses with more than 5 years of training, more than 10 years of work experience, and the vast majority did not have postgraduate, master's or doctoral degrees. The specific results showed that most nurses recognize FI and IA, but do not recognize the role of nurses in intervening in the pathological process, considering it as normal due to advancing age. Conclusion: Nurses are involved daily in daily practices aimed at institutionalized elderly people, making it important to have a qualified stomatherapist who can assist in conducting FI and IU. In addition, the need for research to strengthen this theme is highlighted.

Full textAbstract:
Objective: This presentation will focus on the challenges health care facilities (HCFs) face when it comes to laser user privileges and their qualifications. HCFs must know who is using their health care laser systems to provide laser patient care and what types of laser applications and treatments they are qualified to perform. There is currently a lot of variation in the way that HCFs grant laser use privileges and the level of specificity of laser privileges is also variable. The best practices to ensure safe and effective laser patient care and health care personnel safety may be found in the American National Standard for Safe Use of Lasers in Health Care, professional organization guidelines such as from the Association of Perioperative Nurses, accreditation standards of The Joint Commission (TJC), and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) regulations. A list of recommendations to comply with the ANSI Z136.3 - 2018 Standard, AORN guidelines, TJC standards, and CMS regulations will be discussed to help HCFs ensure that the laser user providers who use lasers at their facilities have the documented training and experience with the specific laser systems and applications before granting laser use privileges.

In Fourth International Conference on Higher Education Advances. Valencia: Universitat Politècnica València, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/head18.2018.8198.
Full textAbstract:
In England many professional healthcare qualifications, including nursing, are only achievable through higher education, for which tuition fees are payable from this year (2017-18) onwards. This paper is concerned about maintaining both the number and diversity of healthcare professionals to meet the needs of a diverse and ageing population. It reviews student views and the available statistical evidence about the impact of the introduction of tuition fees on applicants, and literature and empirical evidence about what higher education institutions are doing to recruit and retain students from different backgrounds to meet the health needs of the population. It concludes that because professions such as nursing have traditionally recruited from a diverse population minimal knowledge or practical expertise has been developed to widen participation in healthcare education in general and nurse education in particular. Moving forward, the healthcare and higher education sectors will need to work in joined up ways to develop strategies to both attract and retain a wide range of diverse students to higher education professional healthcare qualification courses – and maintain the supply of qualified healthcare professionals.
