“…Regarding push and pull factors, the findings of this study show that the leading push factor is poor remuneration – indicated by over two‐thirds of the participants, followed by poor economic conditions (66%) and lack of satisfaction with the work environment (52%). A major reason for this may be connected with comparing their earnings in Nigeria to what their counterparts in the West earn, thereby suggesting the urgency to leave the country and the refusal to cope (Liu, 2024 ). The leading pull factors are the ease of securing a better for their family (66%), availability of modern equipment (64%) and adequate health infrastructure (64%).…”

AimsTo (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.DesignCross‐sectional study.MethodsThe 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.ResultsThe 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.ConclusionsMany 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.
