The concept of globalization has made it more possible for people from all walks of life and of diverse cultural background to meet and come across one another. The Nursing profession is not left out of the effect of globalization, whereby mobility of nurses around the world has been described as a global phenomenon, hence the diversity in cultural orientation.
The purpose of this thesis is to describe the cultural barriers immigrant nurses encounter in nursing environment. The aim is to provide evidence based knowledge regarding cultural barriers encountered by immigrant nurse in nursing environment of various host countries, which can help in promoting culturally integrated nursing environment.
Methods & Data: This thesis utilize literature review as an appropriate research method. Data were retrieved from reliable database; EBSCOhost (CINAHL), Sage Premier and Pro Quest Central from 2010 to 2021, using specified data inclusion & exclusion criteria. To this end, 6 relevant published works were selected as the primary data after which inductive content analysis was used in the interpretation of collected data and to deduce answers for the research question. Research question: what are the cultural barriers or challenges encountered by immigrant nurses in nursing environment?
Findings: Based on a combination of results from the 6 selected articles, the cultural barriers affecting immigrant nurses were grouped in the 4 main themes and 9 Sub themes. The themes are Communication with language and communications as sub themes; Prejudice with discrimination, racism and Colleagues’ attitude as sub themes; Cultural Differences with working culture and cultural displacement as sub themes and Career Obstacles with certificate variations and career ceilings as sub themes.
