A literature survey was conducted to clarify the current situation of supporting job retention of foreign nurse, care worker candidates who are working in hospitals or care facilities in Japan.
The articles to be analyzed were selected using two methods: (1) two retrieval systems, in which “hospital & foreigner” or “care facility & foreigner” were created and relevant articles were extracted from databases such as the Japan Medical Abstracts Society website, and (2) articles including keywords “hospital,” “care facility,” or ” foreigner” were extracted by overviewing a list of articles extracted by method (1). After narrowing the search to articles published after 2018, 15 articles were finally selected for analysis.
From the 15 articles, the descriptions of the current situation of supporting job retention for foreign nurse, care worker candidates who are working in hospitals or care facilities were extracted and categorized according to similarity. It was demonstrated that multi-sided support has been provided for foreign nurse, care worker candidates, including provision of accommodation, support in learning the Japanese language, understanding their religion and culture, and encouraging them to perform a task.
