Abstract

Background

The global shortage of nurses has increased the migration of internationally educated nurses (IENs) to the Nordic region, necessitating policies for their migration and workplace integration.

Purpose

This study aimed to identify expert opinions on migration and integration policies for IENs to inform future policy development.

Methods

A two-round policy Delphi study was conducted. The first round used qualitative content analysis to identify policy statements, and the second round used a quantitative descriptive approach to validate them.

Findings

Response rates exceeded 75% in both rounds. Experts identified 36 statements across six themes. High consensus policies included employer contract compliance (96.9%), credential approval (96.9%), language proficiency initiatives (96.9%), diversity, equality, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) training (87.5%), and bilateral agreements (87.5%).

Conclusion

The study emphasizes the importance of credential recognition for IENs before migration and their ongoing professional development, highlighting the need for DEIB training for leaders.

背景全球护士短缺加剧了受过国际教育的护士（IENs）向北欧地区的迁移，因此有必要制定有关其迁移和融入工作场所的政策。第一轮采用定性内容分析法确定政策声明，第二轮采用定量描述法验证政策声明。专家们确定了涉及六个主题的 36 项声明。共识度较高的政策包括雇主合同合规性（96.9%）、资格认证（96.9%）、语言能力倡议（96.9%）、多样性、平等、包容和归属感（DEIB）培训（87.5%）以及双边协议（87.5%）。
