Equipping Nurses for Migrant Mental Health Care: An Integrative Review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Nurses play a pivotal role in delivering mental health care to migrants, but many lack the knowledge and training needed to effectively meet these populations' unique needs. This integrative review examined the existing literature on best practices for caring for migrants with mental health challenges.

Methods

Comprehensive searches were conducted across four databases as well as gray literature. After all eligible articles had been identified, data extraction and thematic analysis were performed.

Results

A total of 54 articles were examined, revealing four major themes: (a) core frameworks and principles; (b) building trust and fostering therapeutic relationships; (c) communication strategies; and (d) assessment and treatment planning.
