Finally, eight studies were included. The Joanna Briggs appraisal tools were used to appraise and evaluate study quality. The PRISMA guidelines were followed and a narrative synthesis used for data analysis.

Challenges and facilitators of professional socialization were identified and categorized into two major themes. Under each theme, results were grouped into three sub-themes: professional, personal and educational challenges/facilitators.
