Tiivistelmä
Due to the demanding need of healthcare workers in Finland, there has been a growing wave of Filipino nurses immigrating to Finland to work in the Finnish healthcare system. Filipino immigrant nurses may face some difficulties integrating into the Finnish culture. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the experiences of Filipino nurses who have migrated to Finland and to assess their impact on the provision of healthcare services in the country. The purpose of this thesis is to understand the motivating factors behind Filipino nurses' migration to Finland and their experiences in their new work environment.
The method used in this thesis was qualitative research. Data was collected via a Webropol questionnaire administered to Filipino nurses who have migrated to Finland, particularly those who recently relocated to Finland and are currently employed. The study involved 15 participants. The research question that the thesis addressed was: What are the common challenges and opportunities as Filipino immigrants encountered in the nursing profession?
The results provide an insight of the opportunities and challenges that the Filipino nurses encountered while integrating in the Finnish nursing society and culture.
