Background : Job satisfaction and related factors are very important in emergency nurses and have a significant impact on their performance. Accordingly, this study aimed at assessing job satisfaction and its related factors in pre-hospital and hospital emergency nurses at Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences.
Methods: This research is a descriptive correlational study that was performed on 170 nurses working in pre-hospital emergency and hospital emergency wards in 2018 using simple random sampling. Data collection was performed by two tools including Wysocki and Kromm standard job satisfaction questionnaire and demographic questionnaire for 3 months. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 22 using descriptive statistics including frequency and mean analytical statistics including Pearson correlation coefficient tests. A significant level (P <0.05) was considered to examine the relationship between variables.
Results: Finding was revealed that 0.6% of nurses were completely dissatisfied and (84.7%) had moderate satisfaction and (14.7%) had high job satisfaction. Further linear regression analysis showed that the factors that had the most impact on job satisfaction were job nature (88.8%), supervision (71.8%), salary (69.8%), co-worker (67%), working conditions (62.2%) and promotions (60.2%). There was no significant correlation between demographic variables (gender, age, education and work experience) and total job satisfaction.
Conclusion: Due to the fact that in this study the job satisfaction of the majority of emergency nurses was at a moderate level, there is still a long way to go to reach a good and excellent level, so it is recommended to officials and stakeholders to create a suitable atmosphere in the workplace, solve the economic problems of the employees in order to increasing their job satisfaction. |
