In Germany there is a lack of general practitioners (GP) that is forecasted to grow. Against this background a study of job satisfaction is of major interest. The purpose of this study was to analyse the job satisfaction of German GPs.
The study is based on data from an observational study in 676 primary care physicians in Germany between 2004 and 2007 taking part in the European Practice Assessment (EPA). The evaluation of job satisfaction was one part of EPA. Job satisfaction was measured with the 10-item Warr-Cook-Wall (WCW) scale. The possible answers ranged from 1 (extreme dissatisfaction) to 7 (extreme satisfaction). Furthermore the characteristics of GPs (gender, age, working hours) were analysed.
Overall from the 676 primary care physicians 523 were GPs and took part in the survey. Job satisfaction was low by "income", "hours of work" and "mental working condition". A high degree of satisfaction was reported for "colleagues and fellow workers". Mainly working hours had a significant influence of job satisfaction followed by age and gender.
Overall, the results show good values of satisfaction with job situation. However there is space for improvement within the field of payment and working condition. Against this background of the lack of GPs it is important to consider these aspects of job satisfaction for GPs.
在德国，全科医生短缺，且预计短缺情况会加剧。在此背景下，对工作满意度的研究具有重要意义。本研究旨在分析德国全科医生的工作满意度。
该研究基于2004年至2007年间德国676名参与欧洲实践评估（EPA）的基层医疗医生的观察性研究数据。工作满意度评估是EPA的一部分。工作满意度采用10项Warr-Cook-Wall（WCW）量表进行测量。可能的答案范围从1（极度不满）到7（极度满意）。此外，还分析了全科医生的特征（性别、年龄、工作时间）。
在676名基层医疗医生中，共有523名全科医生参与了调查。在“收入”、“工作时长”和“精神工作状况”方面，工作满意度较低。而对于“同事和工作人员”，满意度较高。主要是工作时间对工作满意度有显著影响，其次是年龄和性别。
总体而言，结果显示对工作状况的满意度处于良好水平。然而，在薪酬和工作条件方面仍有改进空间。在全科医生短缺的背景下，考虑这些工作满意度方面对全科医生来说很重要。
