Using Maslow's hierarchy of needs as a base, this article attempts to determine the motivational level of respiratory therapy personnel. Also analyzed was the importance of these needs to the individuals studied. The instrument used to obtain the necessary data was a questionnaire designed to indicate a mathematical score relevant to a person's position in the hierarchy. This instrument was designed by Lyman Porter and is called the Porter needs-satisfaction index (PNSI). The respondents, who were representatives of all classes of respiratory therapy personnel, showed high levels of satisfaction in areas concerned with helping others, autonomy, and prestige. They ranked ability to help others, self-fulfillment, and feelings of accomplishment as highly important. Further analysis of the questionnaires is presently under way. It is hoped that data relative to position in the hierarchy based on demographic data will soon be available.
本文以马斯洛的需求层次理论为基础，试图确定呼吸治疗人员的动机水平。同时还分析了这些需求对所研究个体的重要性。用于获取必要数据的工具是一份问卷，该问卷旨在表明与一个人在需求层次中的位置相关的数学分数。这个工具由莱曼·波特设计，被称为波特需求满意度指数（PNSI）。作为呼吸治疗各类人员代表的受访者，在与帮助他人、自主性和声望相关的领域表现出高度的满意度。他们将帮助他人的能力、自我实现和成就感列为非常重要的因素。目前正在对问卷进行进一步分析。希望很快能获得基于人口统计数据的与需求层次位置相关的数据。
