Abstract:

The aim of the research was to determine the tendency to emigrate nursing students from socio-economically weak regions. Additionally, the goals of trips abroad and the family's influence on students' migration plans were identified.

The TOPSI method was used to identify voivodeships with the worst socio-economic situation, and an original research survey was the tool for verifying the set goals and hypotheses.

The study covered five voivodeships of Eastern Poland, the economically weakest regions of Poland. The study was conducted among nursing students at 5 major academic centers. 745 completed surveys were received
