To (1) explore the intramigration experience of HCWs within Nigeria, (2) explore the migration intention of health care workers (HCWs) in Nigeria and (3) identify the predictors of migration intention among HCWs in Nigeria.
Cross-sectional study.
The online survey was used to collect data from 513 HCWs in Nigeria between May and June 2023. Crude and adjusted logistic regression were used to identify factors associated with emigration intention. Analyses were performed on SPSS version 26 at a 95% confidence interval.
The study found that 34.4% had intramigration experience, and the rate of intention to emigrate to work in another country was 80.1%. The United Kingdom was the most preferred destination (109 HCWs), followed by Canada (92 HCWs) and the United States (82 HCWs). At the multivariate level, emigration intention was associated with the experience of burnout and duration of practice as a HCW. Nurses had higher emigration intentions than medical doctors.
Many HCWs in Nigeria appear to have emigration intent, and nurses are more likely to be willing to migrate than doctors. The Nigerian government may want to explore strategies to reverse the emigration intent of the HCWs in Nigeria.
（1）探讨尼日利亚境内卫生保健工作者（HCWs）的移民经历，（2）探讨尼日利亚 HCWs 的移民意向，（3）确定尼日利亚 HCWs 移民意向的预测因素。
横断面研究。
2023 年 5 月至 6 月，采用在线调查方式从尼日利亚的 513 名 HCWs 中收集数据。采用非条件和条件逻辑回归来确定与移民意向相关的因素。在 SPSS 版本 26 上进行分析，置信区间为 95%。
研究发现，34.4%的人有移民经历，打算移民到其他国家工作的比例为 80.1%。英国是最受欢迎的目的地（109 名 HCWs），其次是加拿大（92 名 HCWs）和美国（82 名 HCWs）。在多变量水平上，移民意向与倦怠经历和作为 HCW 的从业时间有关。护士比医生更有移民意向。
尼日利亚的许多 HCWs 似乎都有移民意向，而且护士比医生更愿意移民。尼日利亚政府可能需要探索策略来扭转尼日利亚 HCWs 的移民意向。
