Description
Zülal Soylu Karaca, Miray Akkuş, and Hande Başak present a 2026 survey on health workers' attitudes toward migrant patients. Care can suffer when attitudes sour, so the drivers matter. The team reached 390 health professionals through online professional groups and snowball sharing. A standard scale scored attitudes, with higher marks meaning more negative views after rescoring.
Attitude scores split along many lines: marital status, job satisfaction, and how many migrant patients a worker met. Language barriers, cultural gaps, interpreter access, and felt skill also mattered. So did views of migrants' own attitudes and of public prejudice around them. In a joint model, felt public prejudice was the strongest single driver. Workload and openness to training played roles too. The study is exploratory.
