Area of Science:

Nursing
Global Health
Sociology

Background:

International nurse migration is a growing global trend.
Understanding nurse migration is crucial for policy, practice, and research.
The complexity of nurse migration requires in-depth analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

To conduct a concept analysis of nurse migration.
To clarify the definition and attributes of nurse migration.
To develop a theoretical framework for studying nurse migration.

Main Methods:

Literature search using electronic databases, journals, websites, and internet search engines.
Analysis guided by Walker and Avant's approach.
Inclusion of 80 documents, primarily published between 2001 and 2009.

Main Results:

Identified five key attributes of nurse migration: individual motivation, external factors, freedom of choice, human right, and dynamic movement.
Antecedents include political, social, economic, legal, historical, and educational forces (push-pull framework).
Consequences are variable, impacting individuals, source/destination countries, healthcare systems, and the nursing profession.

Conclusions:

Nurse migration is a multifaceted phenomenon with complex antecedents and consequences.
A nursing-specific middle-range theory was proposed to enhance understanding and research.
This analysis provides a clearer framework for addressing nurse migration issues.
