Abstract

Background: Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic nurses and midwives are under-represented in higher and managerial roles.

Aims: This study explored the presence and nature of career progression delays for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic nurses and midwives and investigated where the barriers to progression were.

Design: A secondary analysis of data from a wider cross-sectional survey investigating workplace experiences, burnout and patient safety in nurses and midwives.

Methods: 538 nurses and midwives were recruited from four UK hospitals between February and March 2017. A career progression delay was viewed as being present if Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic nurses and midwives had spent longer on the entry level nursing grade and less time on higher grades in the previous 10 years. The analysis included items pertaining to: receipt of professional training, perceived managerial support for progression, likelihood of submitting applications and application success rates. Data were analysed using linear regression, odds ratios and t-tests. Results were reported using the STROBE Checklist.

Results: Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic nurses and midwives (n = 104; 19.4%) had spent more months working at the entry-level grade (M = 75.75, SD = 44.90) than White nurses and midwives (n = 428; 79.7%; M = 41.85, SD = 44.02, p < 0.001) and fewer months at higher grades (M = 15.29, SD = 30.94 v 29.33, SD = 39.78, p = 0.006 at Band 6; M = 6.54, SD = 22.59 v M = 19.68, SD = 37.83, p = 0.001 at Band 7) over the previous 10 years. Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic nurses and midwives were less likely to have received professional training in the previous year (N = 53; 53.0% v N = 274; 66.0%, p = 0.015) and had to apply for significantly more posts than White nurses and midwives before gaining their first post on their current band (M = 1.22, SD = 1.51 v M = 0.81, SD = 1.55, p = 0.026).

Conclusions: Interventions are needed to improve racial equality regarding career progression in nurses and midwives. Increasing access to professional training and reducing discriminatory practice in job recruitment procedures may be beneficial.

Impact statement: Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic nurses and midwives experience career progression inequalities. Interventions should improve transparency in recruitment procedures and enhance training opportunities.

黑人、亚裔和少数族裔护士和助产士是否经历过职业延迟?一项调查职业发展障碍的横断面调查。

背景:黑人、亚裔和少数族裔护士和助产士在高级和管理职位上的代表性不足。目的:本研究探讨了黑人、亚洲人和少数民族护士和助产士职业发展延迟的存在和本质，并调查了发展的障碍在哪里。设计:对来自更广泛的横断面调查的数据进行二次分析，调查护士和助产士的工作经历、倦怠和患者安全。方法:2017年2月至3月，从英国四家医院招募了538名护士和助产士。如果黑人、亚裔和少数族裔护士和助产士在过去10年里在初级护理级别上花的时间更长，而在高级护理级别上花的时间更少，则认为存在职业发展延迟。分析的项目包括:接受专业培训、对晋升的管理支持、提交申请的可能性和申请成功率。数据分析采用线性回归、优势比和t检验。使用STROBE检查表报告结果。结果:黑人、亚裔和少数族裔护士和助产士(n = 104;19.4%)在初级职系工作的月数(M = 75.75, SD = 44.90)多于白人护士和助产士(n = 428;79.7%;M = 41.85, SD = 44.02, p M = 15.29, SD = 30.94 v 29.33, SD = 39.78, p = 0.006带6;M = 6.54, SD = 22.59 v M = 19.68, SD = 37.83, p = 0.001(波段7)。黑人、亚裔和少数族裔护士和助产士在前一年接受专业培训的可能性较低(N = 53;53.0% v N = 274;66.0%， p = 0.015)，并且在获得当前频带的第一份工作之前，必须申请比白人护士和助产士更多的职位(M = 1.22, SD = 1.51 v M = 0.81, SD = 1.55, p = 0.026)。结论:需要采取干预措施来改善护士和助产士职业发展方面的种族平等。增加获得专业培训的机会和减少工作征聘程序中的歧视性做法可能是有益的。影响说明:黑人、亚裔和少数族裔护士和助产士经历职业发展不平等。干预措施应提高招聘程序的透明度并增加培训机会。
