To examine job satisfaction, well-being, job stress, and burnout among laboratory professionals.
The study utilized a cross-sectional survey design. The survey was administered online via the American Society for Clinical Pathology's survey tool, to elicit information about job satisfaction, well-being, job stress, and burnout among medical laboratory professionals.
Although this survey shows high job satisfaction among respondents, overall job-related stress is high and burnout is prevalent. The majority of the respondents rated their work-life balance as "fair." The main contributing factors to job stress, burnout, and work-life balance are quantity of workload and understaffing.
Based on the results of this survey, creating targeted interventions may help improve the quality of well-being programs for laboratory professionals. A comprehensive wellness program developed at the institutional, local, and national levels may improve morale and alleviate the recruitment and retention challenges faced by medical laboratory professionals.
调查实验室专业人员的工作满意度、幸福感、工作压力和倦怠情况。
本研究采用横断面调查设计。通过美国临床病理学会的调查工具在线进行调查,以了解医学实验室专业人员的工作满意度、幸福感、工作压力和倦怠情况。
尽管这项调查显示受访者的工作满意度较高,但整体工作相关压力较高,倦怠现象普遍存在。大多数受访者将自己的工作与生活平衡评为“尚可”。工作压力、倦怠和工作与生活平衡的主要影响因素是工作量和人手不足。
根据这项调查的结果,制定有针对性的干预措施可能有助于提高实验室专业人员的幸福感计划质量。在机构、地方和国家层面制定全面的健康计划可能会提高士气,并缓解医学实验室专业人员面临的招聘和留用挑战。
