Abstract

Purpose

Overseas nurses are not new to the United Kingdom (UK), and neither is the concept of pastoral care. The immense contributions of international nurses are so obvious that it would be commonly assumed that there will be a strong literature base on pastoral care for these nurses. However, the opposite is very much the case. Pastoral support is crucial to the successful adaptation and integration of nurses who are recruited outside the United Kingdom to work within the NHS. To offer comprehensive fit-for-purpose support, the perspective of the nurses is important.

Objective

This scoping review aims to identify what is known about pastoral support for internationally educated nurses in the UK.

Methods

A scoping review method was used to review literature on pastoral support.

Results

Existing literature provided evidence on current practices, the challenges, and outcome criteria for successful pastoral support. It also provided evidence on how early pastoral support can fortify the nurses or deskill them. Finally, it revealed significant disparities in the support received by overseas nurses.

Conclusion

While the nurses’ experience of the previous adaptation programme has been explored, evidence on the current pastoral care practices is mostly found in policy guidelines, trainers’ reports, and opinion pieces. Since the inception of the NMC test of competence in 2014, the voice of the recipients of pastoral care is yet to be heard. This scoping review suggests that there is a difference in understanding of pastoral care practices. Therefore, the perspectives of specific groups such as Black African nurses should be explored on this issue.

非洲国际护士在牧灵支持方面的经验:范围审查
目的海外护士对英国来说并不陌生,牧养护理的概念也不陌生。国际护士的巨大贡献是显而易见的,因此人们普遍认为,有关这些护士的牧养护理的文献基础十分雄厚。然而,事实恰恰相反。牧养支持对于从英国以外招聘到英国国家医疗服务系统工作的护士成功适应和融入英国国家医疗服务系统至关重要。结果现有文献提供了有关当前实践、挑战和成功的牧养支持结果标准的证据。它还提供了证据,说明早期的教牧支持如何能够加强护士的能力或使其丧失能力。最后,研究还揭示了海外护士在获得支持方面存在的显著差异。结论虽然已经对护士在之前的适应计划中的经验进行了探讨,但有关当前牧养支持实践的证据大多出现在政策指南、培训师报告和评论文章中。自 2014 年开始实施 NMC 能力测试以来,人们尚未听到接受牧养关怀者的声音。本次范围界定审查表明,人们对牧灵关怀实践的理解存在差异。因此,应探讨黑非洲护士等特定群体对这一问题的看法。
