Abstract:
Background and Purpose: The Physician and Nurse Brain Drain Attitude Scale measures healthcare professionals' attitudes toward brain drain, which affects healthcare systems in developing countries. Methods: The scale was developed using the methodologies proposed by Timothy R. Hinkin and Robert F. DeVellis, including qualitative research, expert evaluations, and exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, with a sample of physicians and nurses from İzmir, Türkiye. Results: The scale comprises two factors: push and pull factors, demonstrating high reliability and confirmed validity through statistical tests indicating good fit and discriminant validity. Negative attitudes toward brain drain were linked to lower job satisfaction. Conclusions: This validated scale provides a crucial tool for understanding healthcare professionals' perspectives on migration and its contributing factors.
