Area of Science:

  • Health Workforce Studies
  • Nursing and Midwifery Education
  • Sociology of Health

Background:

  • In the late 1980s, concerns arose regarding the representation of black nurses in Britain.
  • Beliefs suggested that discrimination and disadvantage deterred minority ethnic groups from nursing careers.
  • Limited anecdotal and statistical evidence supported lower application rates for preregistration training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the national pattern of applications to preregistration nursing and midwifery training.
  • To investigate the representation of minority ethnic groups in nursing and midwifery education.
  • To provide a comprehensive evidential base on this issue.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of the most comprehensive available dataset on applications.
  • Examination of national application patterns for preregistration nursing and midwifery training.
  • Comparison of application rates with the representation of minority ethnic groups in the general population.

Main Results:

  • The study reveals complex patterns in the representation of ethnic minority groups in nursing and midwifery training.
  • Evidence indicates both under-representation and, in some cases, over-representation of black and Asian minority ethnic groups.
  • The findings challenge simplistic assumptions about minority ethnic group participation in nursing.

Conclusions:

  • The representation of ethnic minority groups in preregistration nursing and midwifery training is multifaceted.
  • Further research is needed to understand the drivers behind these complex patterns.
  • Policy and support initiatives should consider the nuanced realities of ethnic minority recruitment into nursing.
