ÖZET
 Amaç: Bu çalışma, diş hekimlerinin beyin göçüne yönelik tutumlarını ve yaşam memnuniyetlerini değerlendirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çevrim içi ortamda 311 diş hekiminin katılımıyla çalışma gerçekleştirildi. Anket linki WhatsApp grupları aracılığı ile katılımcılara iletilmiştir. Veriler; Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Beyin Göçüne Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği (BGYTÖ) ve Yaşam Memnuniyeti Ölçeği (YMÖ) kullanılarak toplandı. Formda katılımcıların cinsiyet, yaş, çalıştığı kurum, unvan ve mesleki çalışma yıllarını sorgulayan 5 soru bulunmaktadır. Ölçeklerin toplam puanları arasındaki ilişki Pearson korelasyon katsayısı ile belirlendi. Ortalamalar arası farklılıklar Student ttesti ve ANOVA ile analiz edildi. Bulgular: BGYTÖ ortalama puanı 61,00±9,79, YMÖ ortalama puanı 14,15±6,06 olarak bulundu. Ölçekler arasında negatif korelasyon bulundu (r=-0,52). Yaşam memnuniyeti arttıkça, göç eğilimi azalmaktadır (p<0,001). Erkeklerin BGYTÖ puanı ortalaması (62,28±9,69) kadınların BGYTÖ puan ortalamasından (59,84±9,77) yüksek bulundu (p<0,05). Erkeklerde YMÖ puanı ortalama 14,11±5,91 olarak, kadınlarda ise 14,19±6,22 olarak bulunmuştur. Kadınlar erkeklere göre yaşamlarından daha memnun olmakla birlikte, istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunamamıştır (p>0,05). Çalışılan kurumun BGYTÖ ve YMÖ üzerine etkisi incelenmiştir. Duncan testine göre üniversitede çalışan diş hekimlerinin BGYTÖ ortalama puanları istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede düşük bulunmuştur (p<0,001). Sonuç: Yaşam memnuniyeti ve beyin göçüne yönelik tutum arasında negatif korelasyon olduğu, erkek ve uzman olmayan diş hekimlerinin göçe daha istekli olduğu tespit edildi.

ABSTRACT
 Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the attitudes of dentists towards brain drain and their life satisfaction. Material and Methods: The study was conducted online with the participation of 311 dentists. The survey link was sent to the participants via WhatsApp groups. Data were collected using ''Personal Information Form'', ''Attitude Scale for Brain Drain (ASBD)'' and ''Scale for Life Satisfaction (SLS)''. There are 5 questions in the form that question the gender, age, institution, degree and professional years of work of the participants. The relationship between the total scores of the scales was determined by the Pearson correlation coefficient. Differences between means were analyzed with Student's t-test and ANOVA. Results: The mean score of the ASBD was 61.00±9.79, and the mean SLS was 14.15±6.06. A negative correlation was found between the scales (r=- 0.52). As life satisfaction increases, the tendency to migrate decreases (p<0.001). The mean ASBD's score of the males (62.28±9.69) was found to be higher (p<0.05) than the mean of the females (59.84±9.77). The mean score of SLS was found to be 14.11±5.91 in males and 14.19±6.22 in females. Although females were more satisfied with their lives than males, no statistically significant difference was found (p>0.05). The effect of the institution studied on ASBD and SLS was examined. According to Duncan test, the mean ASBD score of dentists working at university was found to be statistically significantly lower (p<0.001). Conclusion: It was determined that there was a negative correlation between life satisfaction and attitude towards brain drain, and male and non-specialist dentists were more willing to migrate.
