Nursing Beyond Borders: The Indonesian Diaspora (PDF)

by Frank Columbus (Author)
Indonesian nurse migration to international healthcare markets is a multifaceted phenomenon that holds profound implications both for Indonesia and the countries that host these migrant professionals. This book explores into this subject through a comprehensive examination of the historical, contextual, experiential, nursing and policy aspects of nurse migration. Starting with an exploration of the historical background, the book details the evolution of nurse migration from Indonesia, identifying the primary reasons driving nurses to seek opportunities abroad. It then discusses the stages of migration—pre-migration, migration, and post-migration—highlighting the challenges and strategic responses at each stage, such as credential recognition, cultural assimilation, and the emotional aspect of integration. Further, it assesses the impacts on both the origin and destination countries, exploring topics like brain drain, economic contributions, and the consequences for healthcare systems. The book also scrutinizes the global policy framework, specifically the WHO Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel, evaluating its implementation and effectiveness. Through its chapters, the book enhances our understanding of the interconnectedness of global healthcare systems through the lens of Indonesian nurses’ mobility.
