Covid-19 has brought healthcare workers in general and nurses in particular into the limelight as never before. It is important to study the intensity of the impact of this pandemic on the profession.
This study aims to assess the occupational satisfaction during the pandemic of Covid-19 among the nurses in Israel, to shed light on conditions of work and to identify factors associated with low occupational satisfaction.
Cross-sectional study of 130 Israeli nurses. Minnesota Satisfaction and Measure of Job Satisfaction questionnaire with 28 items was used to assess occupational satisfaction.
In the multivariable model, nurses working in the community had higher occupational satisfaction than those working in hospitals (β = 0.24, p = .032); nurses who took care of patients who tested positive for Covid-19 had significantly lower occupational satisfaction than others (β = -0.48, p = .009). Most of the sample reported lack of personal protective equipment (PPE). Nurses who experienced lack of PPE reported lower occupational satisfaction than those who did not (3.4 vs. 3.8, p = .039). Occupational satisfaction was mainly based on the component, built by the intrinsic characteristics of the occupation related to the personal accomplishment. Most of nurses had to increase their workload as a result of staff shortages, but the elevation of the workload was not associated with lower occupational satisfaction.
Even under the circumstances of the pandemic, the most important nurses` occupational values are worthwhile accomplishments, importance of professional challenge, diversity and interest in the job, personal growth and development and independence in their practice.
新冠疫情使医护人员，尤其是护士，前所未有地成为关注焦点。研究这场大流行对该职业的影响强度非常重要。
本研究旨在评估以色列护士在新冠疫情期间的职业满意度，揭示工作条件，并确定与低职业满意度相关的因素。
对 130 名以色列护士进行横断面研究。采用 28 项明尼苏达满意度问卷评估职业满意度。
在多变量模型中，在社区工作的护士比在医院工作的护士职业满意度更高（β=0.24，p=0.032）；照顾新冠病毒检测呈阳性的患者的护士职业满意度显著低于其他护士（β=-0.48，p=0.009）。大多数样本报告缺乏个人防护设备（PPE）。报告缺乏 PPE 的护士职业满意度低于未报告缺乏 PPE 的护士（3.4 分比 3.8 分，p=0.039）。职业满意度主要基于与个人成就相关的职业内在特征构成的部分。由于人员短缺，大多数护士不得不增加工作量，但工作量的增加与职业满意度降低无关。
即使在疫情大流行的情况下，护士最重要的职业价值观是有价值的成就、职业挑战的重要性、工作的多样性和趣味性、个人成长和发展以及实践中的独立性。
