Explaining the causes and factors related to nurse migration from the perspective of nursing students in Iran: a content analysis study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionNurse migration represents a critical determinant in the depletion of the professional healthcare workforce in developing countries.
objectiveIn light of the limited empirical evidence in this domain, the present study sought to investigate the underlying factors influencing nurse migration, as perceived by nursing students.
methodsThis qualitative content analysis study included 24 nursing students who voluntarily participated in the study. Participants were selected through purposive sampling. In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted in 24 separate sessions, each lasting between 60 and 70 min, with one session per participant. The final number of participants (24) was determined by the point at which data saturation was reached, meaning that no new concepts or codes emerged from the data. The data were analyzed using conventional content analysis based on Zhang's (2009) approach, while adhering to Guba and Lincoln's trustworthiness criteria. MAXQDA2020 software was utilized for data management.
resultsData analysis resulted in 500 initial codes, 9 subcategories, and 4 main categories: 1- Structural barriers and career mobility opportunities, 2- Exploring a new world of welfare and advanced facilities, 3- Difficulties and Challenges of Migration, 4-Transformations in human and social relationships in a new environment.
conclusionThe findings indicated that nursing students perceive migration as a means of achieving career advancement and enhancing their quality of life; however, they emphasize the need for greater institutional support to facilitate adaptation and to overcome the associated challenges.
