The population worldwide is ageing. This has required the nursing profession to respond to the growing demands of providing nursing care to this population.
To identify predictors of job satisfaction among registered nurses providing care for older adults.
A cross-sectional correlational design was used with a convenience sample of nurses. The Quality Work Competence Questionnaire, Job Satisfaction Scale and Nurses' Occupational Stress Scale were used to measure study variables. Descriptive statistics and multiple regressions were used to analyse the data.
The study included 500 nurses; and 68% dissatisfied with their job. Nurses were mostly dissatisfied with the physical conditions in which they work (55.2%) and the rate of payment (50.2%). Physical strain demonstrated the highest positive correlation with nurses' satisfaction (r = .36). More years of experience, skills and employee development, high nurses' competence, and more physical strain predicted high job satisfaction.
Job dissatisfaction among nurses providing care for older adults is high and is influenced by nurses' experience, professional development, competency and physical strain.
Health care organisations should apply strategies that enhance the development of the professional competency of their nursing staff.
全球人口老龄化。这要求护理行业应对为这一人群提供护理的需求不断增长。
确定为老年人提供护理的注册护士工作满意度的预测因素。
采用横断面相关性设计，对护士进行方便抽样。使用工作质量能力问卷、工作满意度量表和护士职业压力量表来衡量研究变量。采用描述性统计和多元回归分析来分析数据。
本研究包括 500 名护士；其中 68%对工作不满意。护士对工作的物理条件（55.2%）和薪酬率（50.2%）最不满意。体力消耗与护士满意度呈正相关（r =.36）。更多的工作经验、技能和员工发展、高护士能力和更多的体力消耗预示着高工作满意度。
为老年人提供护理的护士工作满意度低，受到护士经验、专业发展、能力和体力消耗的影响。
医疗保健组织应采取策略，提高护理人员的专业能力发展。
