Continuous variables were used as continuous standardized variables and the model ORs presented indicate the likelihood of passing from no intentions to leave the country to having intentions to leave the country, compared to one standard deviation change in continuous independent variables

OR Odds ratio, CI Confidence interval

aAdjusted for gender, age, employment sector, country of birth, and years from getting practicing licence in Finland

bAdditionally adjusted for discrimination, language problems, employment barriers, satisfaction with living in Finland, team climate, job satisfaction, and patient-related stress
