Study on Philippine Nurse Migration from a Perspective of Medical Sociology

我们使用多项回归分析检查了哪些社会心理因素可以区分三组；毕业后打算立即出国工作的护理专业学生、有一定经验后打算出国工作的护理专业学生和不打算出国工作的护理专业学生。我们从位于马尼拉和奎松市的优秀大学中选择了9所大学，这些大学在2009年6月进行的最新全国注册护士执照考试（nl - rn）的通过率高于87%，除了一所大学（63%）。在相关部门的许可下，我们访问了每所大学的一到三个班级，并要求在那里的高级护理学生回答我们的自我管理问卷。该调查于2009年11月至2010年1月期间进行。在控制背景数据的情况下，通过多项回归分析，我们发现与选择“立即出国工作意向”而不是“有一些经验后出国工作意向（参考类别）”的概率增加相关的因素。多项回归分析也揭示了护生选择“不打算出国工作”的相对风险高于参考类别。结果显示，一些人口统计数据，“当你作为一名护士在国外工作时的期望”，“对菲律宾社会的看法，在国外工作的价值，菲律宾护士”，“成为一名护士的目的感”，“作为一名菲律宾人的规范感”，区分了毕业后打算立即出国工作的护理学生和那些打算在获得一些经验后出国工作的护理学生（参考）。而那些不打算出国工作的人从参考资料中得知。

We examined which psychosocial factors can discriminate between three groups using multinomial regression analysis ; nursing students who intend to go to abroad to work immediately after graduation, those who intend to go to abroad to work after getting some experiences, and those who intend not to go to work abroad.We selected nine universities out of excellent universities located in Manila and Quezon City, which passing rates of the latest National Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NLE-RN) performed in June, 2009 were higher than 87%, except one university (63%). We visited one to three classes in each university with permission of authorities concerned and asked senior nursing students attended there to answer our self-administered questionnaire.The survey was conducted between November 2009 and January 2010.Controlling for background data, by multinomial regression analysis we find factors related to increase a probability to choose "intention to work abroad immediately" over "intention to work abroad after some experiences (reference category)." Multinomial regression analyses also revealed relative risks that nursing students choose "intention not to go abroad to work" over the reference category.The results was shown that some demographics, 'expectations when you work abroad as a nurse', 'perception on Philippine society, value of working abroad, and Philippine nurse', 'sense of purpose of becoming a nurse', 'sense of the norms as a Filipino' discriminated nursing students who intend to go to abroad to work immediately after graduation from those who intend to go to abroad to work after getting some experiences (the reference), and those who intend not to go to work abroad from the reference.
