Abstract

Introduction: Globalization is a fact of life. In addition to having an impact on the economic, social, political, technological, environmental, and cultural spheres of human life, globalization also affects the health care and educational systems. Health-related educational institutions, particularly nursing programs, must be able to turn out graduates who can compete in the modern world.

Methods: Studies are systematically found utilizing electronic databases that have been Scopus indexed, such as ProQuest, Science Direct, CINALH, and PubMed. The Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) search terms for the papers in this investigation are globalization AND global health AND nursing. Four articles that fulfill the requirements were left after articles were found using an electronic database search and then chosen based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Results: This review study discovered that in order for nursing students to successfully navigate the issues of globalization and global health, they must increase their global health nursing competences.

Conclusions: The best available data is compiled in this study to help universities and other interested parties create and assess global health nursing competency-strengthening programs for nursing students.

Keywords: globalization; global health; nursing.
