Abstract

The migration of health care workers on a global scale has emerged as a complex and critical issue, profoundly affecting the dynamics of health care systems worldwide. The authors delve into the multifaceted drivers behind the unprecedented migration of health care professionals, seeking to illuminate the interconnected factors that propel this phenomenon. The investigation encompasses economic, social, and professional dimensions, acknowledging the intricate interplay of factors influencing the decision of health care professionals to migrate. Economic disparities, inadequate working conditions, and limited career advancement opportunities in home countries are examined as primary push factors, while attractive employment prospects, higher remuneration, and improved quality of life in destination countries are explored as compelling pull factors. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the intricate web of factors influencing global health care worker migration, providing insights that can inform evidence-based policies, strategic workforce planning, and international collaborations aimed at addressing the challenges posed by this phenomenon.

全球医护人员迁移的驱动因素。

医护人员在全球范围内的迁移已成为一个复杂而关键的问题，深刻影响着全球医疗保健系统的动态发展。本文深入探讨了医护人员前所未有的迁移背后的多方面驱动因素，试图揭示推动这一现象的相互关联的因素。我们的调查涵盖了经济、社会和专业层面，承认影响医疗保健专业人员移民决定的各种因素错综复杂地相互作用。母国的经济差距、不适当的工作条件和有限的职业发展机会被视为主要的推动因素，而目的地国家诱人的就业前景、更高的薪酬和更好的生活质量则被视为引人注目的拉动因素。本文有助于加深对影响全球医护人员移徙的错综复杂的因素网络的理解，并为循证政策、战略性劳动力规划和旨在应对这一现象所带来的挑战的国际合作提供启示。
