Background and aims: Nurses play a crucial role as one of the primary pillars of the healthcare system. The training of proficient nursing staff incurs significant costs for the healthcare system, and their departure leads to irreparable harm across various sectors of their home country. The purpose of this study was to determine and prioritize the factors affecting the migration of nurses based on the opinions of hospital managers.
Methods: This quantitative study utilized hierarchical analysis through Expert Choice software to examine the perspectives of nursing managers from selected hospitals in Tehran, employing a census approach with a 95% participation rate.
Results: Out of 57 participants, the psychological factor emerged as the most influential, with a weight value of 0.746. Within the realm of psychological factors related to the country of origin, the absence of spiritual and psychological support in the workplace, with a weighted value of 0.458, was singled out as the primary cause. Gender discrimination within the country of origin, carrying a weighted value of 0.193, was highlighted as the foremost individual factor. Moreover, environmental factors in the destination country, with a weight value of 0.765, outweighed those in the country of origin.
Conclusion: Upon analysis of the data, psychological factors were identified as the top priority, followed by economic considerations. Thus, policymakers and managers are urged to implement innovative strategies, recognizing the importance of addressing both psychological well-being and economic stability.
