Article Synopsis
  • - The qualitative evidence synthesis (QES) examines the barriers and enablers to workplace integration for internationally educated nurses (IENs) by reviewing literature from January 2013 to July 2023, ultimately narrowing down 830 studies to six that met the criteria.
  • - Barriers identified include cultural differences, language issues, poor leadership, and racism, while enablers include a commitment to learning, supportive environments, and mentorship programs.
  • - The findings highlight the complex interactions between these factors, suggesting that effective interventions must tackle multiple challenges at once to improve the integration of IENs into the workplace.

Age at injury is a strong candidate as a suppressor because of its well-established main and moderating effects on TBI outcomes.
