Factors motivating nurses to professional migrations as exemplified by Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia

Original language description

Currently, most European Union countries suffer from a shortage of medical staff, especially nurses. The main causes of this phenomenon are: the migration of staffto countries offering better working and living conditions andresigning from profession before retirement.The Aim of the Study. The aim was to recognize the factors motivating for professional migration among nurses from Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary. Materials and Methods.The diagnostic survey was carried out by means of a questionnaire prepared by the authors. 732 nurses from the following European countries were enrolled in the study:the Czech Republic (N=100, 13.7%), Poland (N=282, 38.5%), Slovakia (N=276, 37.7%) and Hungary (N=74, 10.1%). Results. Most respondents admitted that the biggest problems in their profession were: earnings inadequate to the requirements, liability, and workload (n=423, 57.8%), lack of recognition of work effects (N=147, 20.0%), lack of support from management (N=106, 14.5%). Conclusions. More than half of the respondents are not satisfied with the pay for their work. Interest in professional migration depends on age and professional experience. Younger nurses with a shorter experience are more interested in professional migration. Professional migrants are more frequently Polish and Hungarian nurses than their Czech and Slovak colleagues.
