This study was conducted to determine the relationship between nursing students' awareness level towards conflict and violence and their attitudes towards brain drain. This descriptive and correlational study included 260 students who were continuing their active education in the nursing department of a state university and agreed to participate in the study. The data of the study were collected using the “Introductory Information Form”, “Conflict and Violence Awareness Scale (CVAS)” and “Nursing Students' Attitude Scale Towards Brain Drain (ASBD)” between March 15 and April 15, 2023. It was found that 34.6% of the students wanted to work abroad after graduation, and 74.2% stated the reason for this as “to live a better quality life”. The students' total ASBD score averages were 54.27±13.94 and the total CVAS score averages were 94.03±25.32. The total ASBD mean scores of male students who want to work abroad after graduation and who evaluate the health services in Turkey and the society's perspective on the nursing profession as "very bad" were found to be significantly higher than the other groups (p<0.05). A negative significant relationship was found between the CVAS and ASBD of nursing students (r=-0.294; p<0.05), and a positive significant relationship was found between ASBD and age (r=0.193; p<0.05). It was determined that the students' awareness levels regarding conflict and violence and their attitudes towards brain drain were above average. It was determined that as the awareness levels of nursing students regarding conflict and violence increased, their tendency to migrate decreased.
