Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the attitudes of resident physicians towards brain drain and to examine whether attitudes towards migration make a difference on the socio-demographic characteristics of the participants.
Methods: As a data collection tool, the Attitude Scale Towards Brain Drain developed by Öncü et al. (2018), a questionnaire form containing questions about the socio-demographic characteristics of the participants, their occupations and their evaluations about health brain drain were used. The research was carried out with 232 assistant doctors working in a university hospital serving in Turkey. Data were collected using face-to-face survey method with healthcare professionals. In the analysis of the data, descriptive statistical methods, t-test for independent samples and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used. The results were evaluated within the 95% confidence interval.
Results: According to the results of the study, it was found that 67.7% of the residents wanted to immigrate to another country. There is no statistically significant difference between the participant’s gender, age, marital status, income, branch, working hours and years, and brain drain attitudes.
Conclusion: It has been found that the occurrence of violence in health increases health migration in our country and migration will be prevented by creating appropriate working hours and conditions.
