We assessed job satisfaction among anesthesiologists at a tertiary hospital in Nigeria and identified elements of job stress and dissatisfaction.
A cross-sectional study design was employed; a structured self-administered questionnaire was distributed, which focused on sociodemographic data, rating of job satisfaction, identification of stressors, and work relationships.
Out of 55 questionnaires distributed, 46 (83.6%) completed questionnaires were returned. Overall, 27 (58.7%) of the anesthesiologists were satisfied with their job. While 8.7% were very satisfied (grade 5), 6.5% were very dissatisfied (grade 1) with their job. The stressors identified by the respondents were time pressures, long working hours with complaints of insufficient sleep, and employment status. Among the respondents, the medical officers were the most discontented (9 out of 12, 75%), followed by senior registrars (5 out of 9, 56%). A high percentage of participants (54.1%) declared that the one change if implemented that would enhance their job satisfaction was having a definite closing time.
Our results showed that despite the demanding nature of anesthesiology as a specialty, many anesthesiologists were contented with their job.
我们评估了尼日利亚一家三级医院麻醉医生的工作满意度,并确定了工作压力和不满的因素。
采用横断面研究设计;发放一份结构化的自填式问卷,重点关注社会人口统计学数据、工作满意度评分、压力源识别和工作关系。
在发放的55份问卷中,回收了46份(83.6%)完成的问卷。总体而言,27名(58.7%)麻醉医生对其工作感到满意。其中8.7%非常满意(5级),6.5%对工作非常不满意(1级)。受访者指出的压力源包括时间压力、工作时间长且抱怨睡眠不足以及就业状况。在受访者中,医务人员最不满意(12人中有9人,75%),其次是高级住院医师(9人中有5人,56%)。高比例的参与者(54.1%)表示,如果实施一项改变,将提高他们工作满意度的是确定下班时间。
我们的结果表明,尽管麻醉学作为一门专业要求很高,但许多麻醉医生对他们的工作感到满意。
