Although various surveys on job satisfaction have been performed in mental health care settings, no studies have investigated in-depth the level of satisfaction with the various aspects of work in Italian mental health services. In the present study, all clinical mental health staff working in a large psychiatric catchment area in Rome were invited to anonymously complete a previously validated questionnaire designed to measure job satisfaction among mental health professionals. Of the total 236 health professionals, 196 (83%) agreed to participate. Most participants were not completely satisfied with many aspects of their job, and many were not even moderately satisfied. The level of satisfaction increased with age, and it was significantly lower among hospital-ward staff compared to the staff of outpatient clinics or residential facilities, even after adjusting for age, gender, profession, work setting, and time in current job, using a multiple logistic regression model. Our findings suggest that interventions aimed at increasing job satisfaction among Italian mental health professionals might be warranted, particularly among hospital-ward staff.
尽管在精神卫生保健机构中已经进行了各种关于工作满意度的调查，但尚无研究深入调查意大利精神卫生服务中工作各方面的满意度水平。在本研究中，邀请了罗马一个大型精神病服务区域内所有临床精神卫生工作人员匿名填写一份先前经过验证的问卷，该问卷旨在测量精神卫生专业人员的工作满意度。在总共236名卫生专业人员中，196名（83%）同意参与。大多数参与者对工作的许多方面并不完全满意，甚至很多人连中等程度的满意都达不到。满意度水平随年龄增长而提高，并且使用多元逻辑回归模型，即使在对年龄、性别、职业、工作环境和当前工作时长进行调整之后，医院病房工作人员的满意度仍显著低于门诊诊所或住院设施的工作人员。我们的研究结果表明，可能有必要采取干预措施来提高意大利精神卫生专业人员的工作满意度，特别是在医院病房工作人员中。
