Integration strategies and models to support transition and adaptation of culturally and linguistically diverse nursing staff into healthcare environments: An umbrella review

Culturally and linguistically diverse registered nurses' experiences of integration into nursing workforce – A qualitative descriptive study

“…The presented results established that the healthcare organization and nurse managers have a crucial role in CALD nurses' integration, retention, career development, and access to opportunities. Organizational support and equity are helpful towards raising CALD nurses to a similar level as native nurses, while nurse managers facilitate the career development and competence of CALD employees (Ramji and Etowa, 2018;Kamau et al, 2022) In this study, most of the CALD participants did not perceive organizational equity; for instance, each employee had the same orientation period irrespective of their background, mentorship was not provided, language learning was not particularly supported, organizational policies (such as anti-racism) were lacking, and some specific cultural needs of CALD employees were unmet.…”

The interview included open questions by allowing participants to share their experiences relating to those three topics.…”

Organizational socialization defines integration as a long-term process; however initial stages of integration have been found to exert significant importance towards newcomers' sense of belonging, integration, and long-term intention to stay in an organization (Aderiye, 2022;Kamau et al, 2022).…”

Operating Room Nursing: Integration of Nurses into the Field

“…The integration process can be seen as a person's introduction to the organization and their orientation in the work environment or as a process by which new nurses learn about the existing work environment to enable rapid adaptation [7]. One of the challenges hospitals faces is hiring efficient and motivated staff.…”

“…Proces integracije može se promatrati kao uvođenje pojedinca u organizaciju i njegovo snalaženje u radnoj sredini, odnosno kao proces kroz koji se medicinske sestre početnice informiraju o postojećem radnom okruženju sa svrhom da se omogući brza prilagodba [7]. Jedan je od izazova za bolnice zaposliti učinkovitu i motiviranu radnu snagu.…”
