Hypothesis
What are the perceptions and opinions of those involved in the recruitment process regarding nurse migration?
Conclusion
An international effort is required to address the complex issue of nurse migration to protect health systems and the rights of nurses.
Supporting Evidence
- Nurse migration is increasing globally, affecting both source and destination countries.
- Overseas nurses often face language and cultural challenges in their new work environments.
- Directors of nursing in Ireland and overseas have differing views on the impacts of nurse migration.
Takeaway
Nurses from other countries come to work in Ireland, but this can hurt their home countries' healthcare systems. Everyone needs to work together to fix this.
Methodology
A phenomenological approach with semi-structured interviews was used to gather data from directors of nursing and overseas nurses.
Limitations
The study had a small number of participants and did not include overseas directors from India, a major source country.
Participant Demographics
Participants included 12 directors of nursing from Ireland, South Africa, and the Philippines, and 10 overseas nurses from India and the Philippines.
