Aim: To investigate the factors that influence the integration of CALD nurses and nursing students into the healthcare system and to explore their perception of integration.
Background: In many countries, strengthening the nursing workforce requires a ramping up of international recruitment. Culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) nurses and nursing students experience significant challenges when integrating into new healthcare systems.
Background: The global shortage of healthcare workers, an ageing population, and increasing retirement within the healthcare workforce are causing social and healthcare systems to undergo significant internationalisation and cultural-linguistic diversification. Despite the crucial role educators play in imparting healthcare education and supporting the integration of professionals into these diverse environments, there is a lack of effective strategies and understanding to achieve this integration successfully.
Aim: To explore and understand how social and healthcare educators self-perceive their role in supporting the integration of culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) students into healthcare working environments, and to identify whether these perceptions can be categorised into specific educator profiles.
Background: Many countries are becoming increasingly culturally and linguistically diverse due to globalisation and migration. The global shortage of nurses and the consequent migration of nursing professionals is leading to increasing cultural and linguistic diversity in health care and nursing education. Nurse educators play a significant role in supporting nursing students' competence and working life readiness.
