Analysis of different factors on emigration of nurses and technitians

Sestrinstvo kao profesija temelji se na holističkom pristupu u čijem je središtu pacijent kao subjekt zdravstvene njege. Kako bi medicinske sestre i tehničari mogli na odgovarajući i smislen način voditi brigu i skrb za pacijenta, osim određene razine empatije te odgovarajućih kognitivnih i manualnih kompetencija, vrlo je važan tim u kojem zdravstveni djelatnik kao pojedinac surađuje. Za kvalitetnu zdravstvenu skrb, bez obzira o kojoj se razini zdravstvene skrbi radi, važan je broj medicinskih djelatnika jer on na određen način uvjetuje kvalitetu zdravstvene skrbi. Zdravstveni sustav Republike Hrvatske duže se vremena bori sa problemom nedostatka medicinskih djelatnika, dakako, najviše medicinskih sestara i tehničara koji iz dana u dan sve više napuštaju Republiku Hrvatsku (RH). Od ulaska RH u Europsku uniju do početka listopada 2017. iz RH je na rad u inozemstvo otišlo 1829 medicinskih sestara. Najviše odlaze medicinske sestre/tehničari koji su stekli dobro radno iskustvo, između 25. i 45. godine života. Prema podacima HKMS, u razdoblju od 1.1.2016. do 2.12.2019. izdano je 1438 potvrda za rad u inozemstvu članicama i članovima HKMS. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je saznati koji su glavni motivi odlaska medicinskih sestara i tehničara iz RH. Istraživanje je provedeno online pomoću anonimnog anketnog upitnika a sudjelovalo je 150 sudionika - isključivo medicinskih sestara i tehničara koji su napustili Republiku Hrvatsku te se zaposlili u inozemnom zdravstvenom sustavu. Anketa se sastojala od pet dijelova: demografski upitnik, kognitivne čestice, emocionalne čestice, bihevioralne čestice te upitnik o stresorima na radnom mjestu bolničkih zdravstvenih djelatnika. Podaci su obrađeni u programu SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences).Nursing as a profession is based on a holistic approach with a patient as the centre of the health care. In order for nurses and technicians to be able to care for and nurture a patient in a appropriate and meaningful manner next to a certain level of empathy and appropriate cognitive and manual competences a team in which a health care worker as an individual takes part is of a great importance. For a quality health care, no matter the level of health care, a number of health care workers is important determining health care quality in a certain manner. The Republic of Croatia’s health care has been struggling with the problem of the lack of health care workers for a longer period of time, mostly nurses and technicians being the ones to leave the Republic of Croatia (RC). 1829 nurses moved abroad for work from RC since RC has entered the European Union until the beginning of October 2017. Mostly nurses/technicians with a good work experience, age range 25-45, are the ones leaving. According to the data of Croatian Nursing Council 1438 work certificates for working abroad have been issued to the members of Croatian nursing Council from 1.1.2016 to 2.12.2019. The goal of this research has been to determine the main motives of nurses and technicians leaving the RC. The research has been conducted online with the help of an anonymous survey, 150 participants took part – solely nurses and technicians who left the Republic of Croatia and found work abroad in a health care system. The survey has been composed of five parts: demographic survey, cognitive particles, emotional particles, behavioural particles and the survey on workplace stressors of hospital health care workers. SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) programme has been used to process the data
