Area of Science:

Healthcare Professional Migration
Nursing Workforce Dynamics
Socioeconomic Factors in Emigration

Background:

The emigration of educated professionals, particularly nurses, poses challenges for developing nations.
Limited research exists on the motivations and difficulties faced by Iranian nurses considering emigration.
This study addresses the gap by exploring the challenges Iranian nurses encounter during emigration.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the driving factors behind Iranian nurses' emigration.
To identify the specific challenges faced by Iranian nurses during the emigration process.
To understand the push and pull factors influencing nursing migration from Iran.

Main Methods:

Qualitative study utilizing conventional content analysis.
Purposive and snowball sampling of 12 Iranian nurses (experienced or intending to emigrate).
Data collection via semi-structured individual interviews, analyzed using MAXQDA software.

Main Results:

Analysis revealed three main categories: 'Repulsions inside the country,' 'Allures abroad,' and 'Emigration challenges and obstacles'.
Twenty-two sub-categories were identified, detailing the multifaceted nature of nurse migration.
Key themes include professional, economic, social, and political push factors, alongside the appeal of improved living standards abroad.

Conclusions:

A strong inclination for emigration among Iranian nurses stems from internal challenges and the aspiration for a better life abroad.
Significant emigration hurdles include language acquisition, complex admission processes, homesickness, and cultural disparities.
Further research is needed to address these obstacles and their impact on migrating nurses.
