Tiivistelmä
Discrimination at the workplace is a major source of dissatisfaction among migrant nurses in other countries such as United Kingdom and Australia. Despite acknowledging the difficulty of retaining internationally educated nurses in Finland, there is a paucity of data concerning workplace discrimination of migrant registered nurses (RNs) in Finland.

The aim of this pilot study is to look at whether migrant RNs in hospitals and hospital-like settings in Finland experience workplace discrimination and if so, the nature of this discrimination. The purpose of this study is to inform health centres about issues that need to be addressed to ensure a discrimination-free workplace that is conducive to nurses of all ethnic and racial backgrounds.

Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analysed using thematic analysis. The themes that emerged were sorted using Feagin and Eckberg's Typology of Discrimination. Discrimination can exist on the personal level (microlevel discrimination) and on the organizational level (macrolevel discrimination). The major component of microlevel discrimination was microaggression, which can be broken down into microinsults, microinvalidations and microassaults. Barriers to language and communication, limited career opportunities and deskilling emerged under the macrolevel discrimination category.

This study shows workplace discrimination of RNs who have migrated to Finland on both the microlevel and macrolevel. It provides valuable insight on how migrant RNs experience discrimination in their working lives and what issues need to be addressed to rectify the problem. Eradicating discrimination at the workplace is a good way to retain nurses and ensure a healthy work environment for all.
