多年来，护士从资源匮乏的国家移出，导致劳动力短缺，特别是在艾滋病毒高流行的国家。对来自五个非洲国家（莱索托、马拉维、南非、斯威士兰和坦桑尼亚）的1374名护士进行了横断面调查。逻辑回归分析的结果是优势比的轮廓，预测更有经验和在城市医院工作的护士迁移意愿的几率增加。这些数据首次证明，护士作为艾滋病毒感染者的提供者所经历的艾滋病毒污名也可能是促使其迁移的原因之一。这项研究有助于更好地了解非洲护士移徙的复杂性。
Nurse migration out of low-resource countries has occurred for many years, resulting in workforce shortages, particularly in countries with a high prevalence of HIV A cross-sectional survey of 1,374 nurses from five African countries (Lesotho, Malawi, South Africa, Swaziland, and Tanzania) was conducted. A logistic regression analysis resulted in a profile of odds ratios predicting increased odds of intent to migrate for nurses who were more experienced and working in urban hospitals. These data provide the first support that HIV stigma experienced by nurses through their association as providers for people living with HIV may also be contributing to their intent to migrate. The study contributes to a greater understanding of the complexity of nurse migration in Africa.
