Job satisfaction is an important determinant of health staff's motivation, retention, and performance. Difficulties in critical decision-making and problems with lack of respect and recognition lead to lower job satisfaction level among anesthetists. It leads to high turnover intention, dropout from the profession, burnout, impaired health status of anesthetists, and lower work performance.
The aim of this multicenter cross-sectional study was to assess the level of job satisfaction and associated factors among anesthetists working in Amhara National Regional State.
A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted from April 1 to June 30, 2017. Ninety-eight anesthetists that were working in Amhara National Regional State Hospitals were involved in this study. The structured questionnaire was scored on five-point Likert scales. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 20. Binary logistic regression was used to measure statistical significance between dependent and each independent variable. Variables with value of ≤0.2 on crude analysis were taken into multivariate analysis, and value 0.05 and 95% CI was used as cut off point.
98 out of 104 participants were involved in this study with a response rate of 94.3%. The overall level of job satisfaction was 46.9%. Anesthetists in academic working position were satisfied with the odds of about 2.3 (AOR = 2.269; CI = 1.137-6.740) compared to those in clinical working position. Anesthetists were least satisfied with coworker relationships (37.8%), work schedule (43.9%), professional opportunity (46.9%), and recognition (49%) while they were most satisfied from their control of responsibility (59.2%), social interaction (55%), and salary and benefits (51%).
Job satisfaction of anesthetists was low, and we suggest that facilitation of professional development, creation of smooth relationship in working environment, increasing the number of anesthetists, and recognition of the anesthesia professional are of paramount importance to increase job satisfaction of anesthetists.
工作满意度是医护人员积极性、留任意愿和工作表现的重要决定因素。关键决策困难以及缺乏尊重和认可的问题导致麻醉师的工作满意度较低。这会导致高离职意愿、职业倦怠、麻醉师健康状况受损以及工作表现下降。
这项多中心横断面研究的目的是评估在阿姆哈拉民族州工作的麻醉师的工作满意度水平及相关因素。
2017年4月1日至6月30日进行了一项多中心横断面研究。参与本研究的有98名在阿姆哈拉民族州医院工作的麻醉师。结构化问卷采用五点李克特量表评分。使用社会科学统计软件包第20版进行数据分析。二元逻辑回归用于衡量因变量与每个自变量之间的统计学显著性。在粗分析中P值≤0.2的变量纳入多变量分析，以P值0.05和95%置信区间作为截断点。
104名参与者中有98名参与了本研究，应答率为94.3%。总体工作满意度为46.9%。与临床工作岗位的麻醉师相比，学术工作岗位的麻醉师满意度优势约为2.3（调整后比值比=2.269；置信区间=1.137 - 6.740）。麻醉师对同事关系（37.8%）、工作时间表（43.9%）、职业机会（46.9%）和认可度（49%）最不满意，而对责任掌控（59.2%）、社交互动（55%）以及薪资福利（51%）最满意。
麻醉师的工作满意度较低，我们建议促进职业发展、营造良好的工作环境关系、增加麻醉师数量以及认可麻醉专业对于提高麻醉师的工作满意度至关重要。
