- Databases searched included PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, OpenGrey, and ScienceDirect.
- The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed.
Findings:
- Two main themes emerged: factors influencing current challenges and historical/contextual triggers of regulation.
- Factors include education, migration, internationalization, policy, demographics, economics, registration history, and wars.
- Societal shifts, particularly those prompted by wars, significantly influenced regulatory development.
Implications:

In statistics, several tools are used to interpret the data. Measures of central tendency represent the characteristics of the data, such as mean, median, and mode. Additionally, measures of variance like standard deviation and range are used to find the spread of data from the mean. Relative standing measures the distance between data locations. Commonly used measures of relative standings are percentile, z score, and quartiles.
