What are the job attribute preferences of physicians and nurses in Türkiye? Evidence from a discrete choice experiment.
Article in Human resources for health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundIn Türkiye, as in other countries, the maldistribution of the health workforce is a serious concern. Although policymakers have developed various incentive packages, this problem has not been thoroughly addressed yet. Discrete choice experiment (DCE) is a valuable method to provide evidence-based information for these incentive packages to attract healthcare staff for rural jobs. The main aim of this study is to investigate the stated preferences of physicians and nurses when choosing a job region.
methodsA labelled DCE was conducted to assess job preferences of physicians and nurses from two hospitals one of which is urban, and the other is in a rural region in Türkiye Job attributes included wage, creche, infrastructure, workload, education opportunity, housing, and career opportunity. Mixed logit model was used to analyse the data.
resultsThe strongest attribute associated with job preferences was region (coefficient - 3.06, [SE 0.18]) for physicians (n = 126) and wages (coefficient 1.02, [SE 0.08]) for nurses (n = 218). According to the Willingness to Pay (WTP) calculations, while the physicians claimed 8627 TRY (1,813 $), the nurses claimed 1407 TRY (296 $) in addition to their monthly salaries to accept a rural job.
conclusionBoth financial and non-financial factors did affect the preferences of physicians and nurses. These DCE results provide information for policymakers about what characteristics might increase the motivation of physicians and nurses to work in rural areas in Türkiye.
