The primary aim of this research is to understand the effect of migration intension in the
healthcare physicians nursing professionals, medical students and residential care units on the
patient centered care process. As majority of the healthcare professionals are moving from
developing to developed countries for better career exposure and opportunities, patient centered
care is affected and hence, this aspect has been assessed through this research (World Health
Organization, 2019).
Lithuania has been selected as the source country in this aspect and from this selected
country, 1080 healthcare professionals had been selected within which, 39% are nursing
students, 21% resident nurses, 12% nursing professionals and 6% professional physicians.
Hence, this particular phenomenon leads to migration of healthcare professionals from this
country.
To complete the study cross sectional research has been conducted in which data was
collected from April to September 2017 and in the study one university hospital, one republican
hospital, and one district and regional hospital have been selected. Primary survey has been used
as the intervention in which more than 500 questionnaires were provided and 474 responses were
returned to the researchers.
The measures that have been used for assessment are teamwork climate, social worth,
emigration intention and financial dissatisfaction; hence the limitation of the study is associated
to other factors due to which migration among nursing professionals could be witnessed.
Therefore, the future implication of this study should be associated to development of retention
strategies for the healthcare professionals to include them in the care process.

It has been seen that majority of the nursing professionals of Chinese origin are working
actively in United Kingdom, Australia however, their reason of emigration is less known to the
researchers (World Health Organization, 2019). Therefore, the researchers, with the aim of
understanding the influencing factors that forces the nursing professionals to become an active
part of healthcare process in Australia, conducted this research. In this research secondary
analysis has been used by the researchers to conduct semi-structured interviews and included 28
Chinese nursing professionals working in Australian healthcare facilities.
All the responses provided has been analyzed using the content analysis process in which
majority of the healthcare professional’s textual responses has been included for the analysis.
Further this process also allowed the researchers to understand the participants explanation of the
topic, their ideation, their thought process and in the course, did not affect their individual
responses by imposing personal preconceived notions.
