This study aimed to examine the attitudes of health technicians towards brain drain and to evaluate the opinions of health vocational school students, especially in surgical branches, on this issue. The study is of descriptive type. The data were collected from the students studying at a university's Vocational School of Health Services, Department of Medical Services and Techniques, Department of Surgical Branches between January and March 2024. The study was not selected as a sample and completed with 207 students who agreed to participate. Personal information forms including socio-demographic data and Scale of Attitudes Towards Brain Drain in Nursing Students (ASBD) were used as data collection tools. The data were collected by face-to-face survey method and analyzed with statistical package programs. The mean age of the participants was 20.36±3.402 years. The majority of the participants were female (93.1%). Germany (32.85%), Italy (10.14%), and Switzerland (7.24%) were the countries that the students wanted to migrate to the most. The total score of the participants in the ASBD was high (55.61 ± 11.439). The results of the study can guide understanding of the attitudes of vocational school of health students towards brain drain and creating policies for planning human resources in the health sector; It is thought that it may also be useful in terms of human resources planning in the health sector.

Özet

Türkiye'de sağlık sektöründe mevcut sağlık personeli sayısının artmasıyla birlikte beyin göçünün etkileri ve önlenmesi ihtiyacı daha önemli hale gelmektedir. Bu çalışma, sağlık teknikerlerinin beyin göçüne yönelik tutumlarını incelemeyi ve özellikle cerrahi branşlardaki sağlık meslek yüksekokulu öğrencilerinin bu konudaki görüşlerini değerlendirmeyi amaçlamıştır. Araştırma tanımlayıcı özelliktedir. Veriler, Ocak-Mart 2024 tarihinde toplanmıştır. Çalışma gönüllü 207 öğrenci ile tamamlanmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak sosyo-demografik verileri içeren kişisel bilgi formları ve Beyin Göçüne Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği (BGYTÖ) kullanılmıştır. Veriler yüz yüze anket yöntemi ile toplanmış ve istatistik paket programları ile analiz edilmiştir. Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 20.36±3.402’ dir. Katılımcıların çoğunluğu kadındır (%93.1). Öğrencilerin en çok göç etmek istedikleri ülkeler Almanya (%32,85), İtalya (%10,14) ve İsviçre (%7,24) olarak bulunmuştur. Katılımcıların BGYTÖ toplam puanı yüksektir (55,61 ± 11,439). Çalışma sonuçlarının, sağlık meslek yüksekokulu öğrencilerinin beyin göçüne yönelik tutumlarının anlaşılmasına ve sağlık sektöründe insan kaynaklarının planlanması için politikalar oluşturulmasına rehberlik edebileceği; sağlık sektöründe insan kaynakları planlaması açısından da yararlı olabileceği düşünülmektedir.
