Although Saudi Arabia is a common destination to which nurses and doctors migrate, few studies have explored the pull factors attracting them to work in the Middle East and Saudi Arabia. This qualitative study explores the pull factors drawing nurses and doctors to work in Saudi Arabian hospitals.
The study utilized a qualitative approach with focus groups. The participants included 83 doctors and nurses at two government hospitals.
Five themes (rewards, job entry requirements, religion, influence of family and friends, and changing work environments) were identified based on the 10 focus group sessions.
Moving forward, health managers should proactively plan the state of healthcare as the need for migrant healthcare workers changes.
尽管沙特阿拉伯是护士和医生移民的常见目的地,但很少有研究探讨吸引他们到中东和沙特阿拉伯工作的拉动因素。本定性研究探讨了吸引护士和医生到沙特阿拉伯医院工作的拉动因素。
该研究采用了焦点小组的定性方法。参与者包括两家政府医院的 83 名医生和护士。
根据 10 次焦点小组会议,确定了五个主题(奖励、工作入职要求、宗教、家庭和朋友的影响以及工作环境的变化)。
展望未来,随着对移民医疗工作者需求的变化,医疗管理人员应积极规划国家医疗保健状况。
