This project examine the cycle of Indonesian nurse migration starting from pre-migrational stage, migration and post-migrational stage.
The project on Indonesian nurses' migration is significant due to several factors. Firstly, it addresses the global mobility of the nursing profession and the increasing trend of Indonesian nurses seeking employment abroad, driven by factors like economic instability, limited career opportunities, and inadequate working conditions in Indonesia. Secondly, the project investigates the challenges and impacts of this migration on both the nurses and Indonesia's health system, including issues like language barriers, deskilling, mental health concerns, and the re-integration process. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for improving policy support and creating safer migration channels for Indonesian nurses
This comprehensive approach allows for a deep understanding of the entire journey of these nurses. It recognizes the complexities and challenges faced at each stage, from preparation and adaptation abroad to reintegration upon return. This holistic view is essential for developing effective policies and support systems that address the needs and challenges of Indonesian nurses throughout their migration experience. It's an approach that can potentially lead to more sustainable and ethical migration practices, benefiting both the nurses and the healthcare systems involved.
