The full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine resulted in a refugee crisis. The terms of employment of Ukrainian Refugee background Medical Professionals (UKR-MPs) in the Polish healthcare system were liberalised. The aim of the study was to identify challenges in job seeking and the integration of Ukrainian war refugee healthcare workers into the Polish healthcare system. A qualitative, descriptive study based on content thematic analysis of Facebook content. We analyzed 1,700 posts published on two public Facebook groups intended for UKR-MPs. The most common problems encountered by UKR-MPs were: 1) lack of easy-to-understand information about the list of documents necessary to apply for a work permit, 2) lack of feedback from those responsible for handling individual cases, and 3) long waiting time for the decision issued by the Ministry of Health. Despite the promptly implemented solutions enabling access to the job market by UKR-MPs, the refugees have encountered considerable administrative difficulties, as well as those arising from insufficient knowledge of the regulations on working as medical professionals in Poland under the EU law.
俄罗斯对乌克兰的全面入侵导致了难民危机。乌克兰难民背景的医疗专业人员(UKR-MPs)在波兰医疗保健系统中的就业条款被放宽了。本研究的目的是确定在求职和将乌克兰战争难民医疗工作者融入波兰医疗保健系统方面所面临的挑战。这是一项基于对 Facebook 内容进行内容主题分析的定性描述性研究。我们分析了两个旨在为 UKR-MPs 服务的公共 Facebook 群组上发布的 1700 个帖子。UKR-MPs 遇到的最常见问题包括:1)缺乏有关申请工作许可证所需文件清单的易于理解的信息;2)负责处理个别案件的人员缺乏反馈;3)等待卫生部发布决定的时间过长。尽管实施了及时的解决方案,使 UKR-MPs 能够进入就业市场,但难民们遇到了相当多的行政困难,以及由于对欧盟法律下在波兰作为医疗专业人员工作的规定了解不足而产生的困难。
