It aims to explore how healthcare professionals' attitudes towards brain drain are influenced by their fear of violence, education level, professional experience, and income. Methods : A cross-sectional study design was employed, utilizing a quantile regression model to analyze the variation in brain drain attitudes across different percentiles. The model specifically examines how fear of violence affects these attitudes at various levels. Results : The analysis reveals that the intention to engage in brain drain increases with higher levels of education and professional experience. Conversely, a high fear of violence is associated with a reduced tendency to emigrate. Additionally, the findings indicate that as income increases, attitude scores towards brain drain decrease. Conclusions : The study underscores the importance of factors such as fear of violence, income level, and professional experience in shaping healthcare professionals' decisions regarding brain drain. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the dynamics influencing brain drain. Future research could further investigate these variables, providing valuable insights for policymakers to develop strategies to prevent or manage brain drain, particularly by examining the impact of employment and security policies on individuals' decisions to stay or leave.
