Özet
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the attitudes of dentistry faculty students of a state university towards brain drain. Methods: The research is a descriptive, cross-sectional study. The population of the study consisted of a total of 474 students studying in a state university's dentistry faculty, and the sample consisted of 226 students who volunteered to participate in the study. A personal information form and the Attitude Scale towards Brain Drain were used as data collection tools. EpiInfo and R statistical programs were used to analyze the data. Results: In the study, 68.1% of the participants stated that they were considering working abroad after completing their dentistry education. In the country preferences of students considering brain migration, Germany ranked first (18.5%), followed by the United States (13.7%) and England (11.1%). Of the participants, 29% indicated that they were preparing for a language course or training. The primary reasons influencing students' consideration of working abroad include better economic conditions (22.6%), a better lifestyle (17.8%), improved working conditions (15.7%), and economic and political instability in Turkey (15.3%). Conclusion: The majority of dental faculty students are found to consider working abroad after graduation. Making policy and legal regulations regarding the attractive and repelling factors influencing students' migration preferences is valuable for retaining qualified healthcare workforce.
