Migrant nurses
Area of Science:
- Nursing Migration Studies
- Healthcare Workforce Research
- Socioeconomic Factors in Health
Background:
- Global nursing shortages necessitate understanding migrant nurse motivations.
- Regional Australia faces unique challenges in attracting and retaining healthcare professionals.
- Intrinsic and extrinsic factors influence professional migration decisions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the intrinsic and extrinsic motivations behind migrant nurses' decisions to migrate and relocate to regional areas.
- To understand the complex factors influencing healthcare professionals' international and regional mobility.
Main Methods:
- A qualitative descriptive study involving semi-structured interviews with 17 migrant nurses in regional Australia.
- Thematic analysis of interview data, guided by self-determination theory.
- Inclusion criteria focused on recent migration (within 7 years) and nursing qualifications from overseas.
Main Results:
- A key theme identified was 'seeking meaningful endeavors,' encompassing professional pride, family duty, and personal satisfaction.
- Extrinsic motivators included financial needs, visa security, professional recognition, family unification, and lifestyle.
- Intrinsic motivators comprised the desire to practice nursing and explore new environments.
Conclusions:
