🧵Globally, migrant nurses and midwives make up a significant proportion of healthcare workers, and trends indicate an exponential rise in #nurse & #midwife migration globally. #JBIEBHC 1/8
The @WHO healthcare workforce report predicts a shortfall of ~ 6 million nurses by 2030 2/8
Many countries rely on nurse and midwife migration to manage their shortfall of healthcare professionals 3/8
Evidence has shown that countries that recruit migrant nurses and midwives to manage workforce shortfalls struggle to integrate this population effectively into their workplace setting 4/8
Poor workplace integration experience is linked to high attrition rates of migrant nurses and midwives, increasing healthcare costs while compounding existing nursing workforce shortages 5/8
There is a substantial body of evidence regarding migrant nurses and midwives and the initial challenges experienced in migrating to the host country, but less is known about workplace integration of this population 6/8
A scoping review is underway to map the evidence assessing workplace integration of migrant nurses and midwives within international healthcare settings. The tools available to measure workplace integration will also be identified #JBIscoping 7/8
The results of the scoping review will provide insights which can be used by healthcare organisations to support migrant nurses and midwives with their workplace integration. Protocol available: journals.lww.com/jbisrir/Fullte… #JBIscoping #JBIEBHC

There is a worldwide shortage of registered nurses (RNs) due to high turnover and insufficient numbers of new graduates. The World Health Organisation and the International Council of Nurses warn that the shortage will worsen without immediate action.
Nursing education programs are under pressure to increase enrolments and produce more nurse graduates. But nursing programs face challenges such as faculty shortages, financial constraints, and limited access to clinical practice environments.
Many qualified applicants are turned away from nursing programs due to capacity issues, and a significant number of students drop out before completing the program.
A systematic review shows the potential of parent-targeted eHealth educational interventions in reducing infant procedural pain. These interventions can be accessed through various eHealth platforms, providing parents with accessible & flexible ways to learn at their own pace.
Parental involvement during procedures, such as providing skin-to-skin contact or breastfeeding, effectively reduces pain experienced during acute procedures.
Although parents are concerned with how to protect their infants from pain or stress in early life, they often are not aware of their capacity with procedural pain management.
PTSD rates are higher in Emergency First Responders (EFRs) compared to the general population. However, the role PTSD plays in the life of the EFR's family is missing from literature.
A new qualitative systematic review included 5 studies with rich qualitative data regarding the experience of family members of EFRs with PTSD.
Qualitative research allows a more nuanced exploration of the effects on family members and
highlights risk factors.
During #JBIMethodology Month we’ll be sharing a series of #MethodsInAMinute tweetorials. We’ll begin with key points on Umbrella Reviews by A/Prof Edoardo Aromataris 👇
With the ever-increasing number of systematic reviews & research syntheses available to inform topics in healthcare, SRs of existing reviews, or umbrella reviews, are increasingly being conducted to summarise a broad scope of issues related to a given topic.
An umbrella review is also ideal in highlighting if the evidence base around a topic or question is consistent or if contradictory or discrepant findings exist, and in exploring and detailing the reasons why.
