Introduction: Immigrant populations in the United States are at increased risk of reduced COVID-19 vaccine acceptance. Currently, no qualitative research focuses on COVID-19 vaccine acceptance among Korean American immigrants (KAIs). This phenomenological study aims to uncover needs, beliefs, and practices that may affect COVID-19 vaccine acceptance within this immigrant group. Method: Twelve study participants answered 10 semi-structured interview questions. Inclusion criteria for participants are as follows: (a) above 18 years, (b) has immigrated from Korea, and (c) can understand and speak English. Interview data were analyzed using Colaizzi’s data analysis method. Results: Eight themes emerged from the study. Themes included apprehension and indifference, disruption of normalcy, patterns of acceptance, duty to protect, fear of contagion, perceived self-efficacy, relief and safety, and acceptance of new normal. Discussion: Findings from this study can inform health care professionals of cultural factors related to COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and health promotion behaviors among the KAIs.

“…Different countries have implemented their own standards for the duration and content of nursing education, as well as accreditation requirements for educational institutions; however, the governance and administration of nursing education show variations between countries (Deng, 2015), leading to uncertainty among recruiters. In most Western countries, nursing credentials from developing countries are often considered inferior to domestic qualifications (Lee & Lee, 2021). The discrepancies in nursing education and pathways to becoming registered nurses across different countries create a lack of clarity that can lead to a lack of trust in overseas education and nursing practice (Xiao et al., 2014).…”

AimTo identify barriers and facilitators of speciality skill transfer for internationally qualified nurses in Australia from the nurses' perspective.DesignA cross‐sectional study.MethodsA cross‐sectional online survey was distributed through social media, snowballing and nursing professional organization. Data analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences.Data SourcesOnline survey data from participants matching the inclusion criteria were collected from July to September 2022.ResultsSurvey results reveal facilitators (competence, scope of practice, linguistic sufficiency, understanding of decision‐making) and barriers (lack of opportunity, transition pathways, confidence in overseas education, financial instability) for internationally qualified nurses' speciality skill utilization in Australia.ConclusionIdentifying and addressing barriers and facilitators, along with developing tailored transition pathways, are crucial for maximizing speciality skill utilization among internationally qualified nurses. These findings have implications for policymakers, healthcare organizations and nurses. They highlight the need to address barriers, facilitate smooth transitions and implement proactive measures for internationally qualified nurses to effectively utilize their specialty skills.ImpactThe study addresses maximizing skill usage for internationally qualified nurses, identifies barriers and facilitators for specialty skill transfer in Australia and will impact policymakers, healthcare organizations and nurses by guiding strategies for safe nursing service delivery and optimizing patient care.Reporting MethodSTROBE checklist.Patient or Public ContributionA total of 71 internationally qualified nurses contributed their experiences and opinions.What Does this Paper Contribute to the Wider Global Clinical Community? Lack of opportunity and the lack of transition pathways inhibit the use of specialty nursing skills by internationally qualified nurses. This study's findings contradict the result of other studies that suggest language is a significant obstacle to the utilization of specialty skills of internationally qualified nurses. Trial and Protocol RegistrationThe protocol is registered on OSF. The data for this study are available for sharing with the reviewers upon request. However, it is worth noting that ethical approval has not been obtained specifically for web sharing, and therefore, the data has not been posted in any repositories or public platforms.
