 Bu çalışmanın amacı acil sağlık çalışanlarının ücret tatmin düzeyi ve yaşam memnuniyet algılarını ölçerek her iki durumun beyin göçü niyetine etkisini incelemektir. Araştırma kesitsel tipte olup Nisan-Mayıs 2022 tarihleri arasında Balıkesir 112 acil sağlık hizmetleri çalışanlarıyla yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın evrenini Balıkesir 112 acil sağlık hizmetlerinde çalışan 750 sağlık profesyoneli, örneklemini ise 282 katılımcı 37.6 oluşturmuştur. Araştırmanın örneklemi 95 güven düzeyinde - 4.61 hata payı ile evreni temsil etmekte olup, örneklemin boyutu geçerli düzeydedir. Araştırmanın veri toplama aracı olan ölçek dört bölümden meydana gelmektedir. Birinci bölüm demografik değişkenlere yönelik önermeler, ikinci bölüm ücret tatmin ölçeği, üçüncü bölüm yaşam memnuniyet ölçeği ve dördüncü bölüm beyin göçüne yönelik tutum şeklindedir. Araştırmanın verileri SPSS 26.0 programında analiz edilmiş, verilerin çözümlenmesinde sayı, yüzdeler, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis Testleri ve post-hoc Bonferroni düzeltmesi uygulanmıştır. Değişkenlerin ilişkisinin incelenmesi için Spearman korelasyon katsayısı kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonucunda acil sağlık çalışanlarının ücret tatmin düzeyi ve yaşam memnuniyeti algıları arasında orta düzeyde pozitif yönlü ilişki r,577 bulunurken beyin göçüne yönelik tutumlarıyla ücret tatmin düzeyi ve yaşam memnuniyeti algıları arasında zayıf düzeyde negatif yönlü ilişki -,378, -,253 bulunmuştur. Sonuç olarak acil sağlık çalışanlarının beyin göçü niyetini azaltmak için ücret tatmini ve yaşam memnuniyeti algılarının iyileştirilmesi gerekmektedir.
