Job satisfaction (JS) correlates positively with patients' satisfaction and outcomes and employees' well-being. In Botswana, the level of job satisfaction and its determinants among nurse anesthetists were not investigated. A cross-sectional study was conducted from January 2020 to June 2020 encompassing all nurse anesthetists in clinical practice in Botswana. A self-administered questionnaire was used that incorporated demographic data, reasons to stay on or leave their job, and a validated 20-item short form of the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire which was pretested on five of our nurse anesthetists. Percentage is used to describe the data. The independence of categorical variables was examined using chi-square or Fisher's exact test. value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. In Botswana, a total of 76 nurse anesthetists were in clinical practice during the study period. Sixty-six (86.9%) responded to the survey. Gender distribution was even, 50.0%. The overall JS was 36.4%. Males had significantly higher JS than females, = 0.001. Significantly higher job satisfaction was found in married nurse anesthetists ( = 0.039), expatriate nurse anesthetists ( = 0.001), nurse anesthetists in non-referral hospitals ( = 0.023), and nurse anesthetists with ≥10 years' experience ( = 0.019). Nurse anesthetists were satisfied with security, social service, authority, ability utilization, and responsibility in ≥60.0% of the cases. They were not satisfied in compensation, working condition, and advancement in a similar percentage. The main reason to stay on their job was to serve the public in 68.2%. In Botswana, employers should make an effort to address the working conditions, compensation, and advancement of nurse anesthetists in clinical practice.
工作满意度（JS）与患者满意度、治疗结果以及员工幸福感呈正相关。在博茨瓦纳，尚未对麻醉护士的工作满意度水平及其影响因素进行调查。于2020年1月至2020年6月开展了一项横断面研究，涵盖了博茨瓦纳所有从事临床工作的麻醉护士。使用了一份自填式问卷，其中包含人口统计学数据、留任或离职原因，以及经过验证的明尼苏达满意度问卷20项简版，该问卷在我们的五名麻醉护士中进行了预测试。数据用百分比描述。分类变量的独立性采用卡方检验或费舍尔精确检验进行检验。P值<0.05被认为具有统计学意义。在博茨瓦纳，研究期间共有76名麻醉护士从事临床工作。66人（86.9%）回复了调查。性别分布均匀，各占50.0%。总体工作满意度为36.4%。男性的工作满意度显著高于女性，P = 0.001。已婚麻醉护士（P = 0.039）、外籍麻醉护士（P = 0.001）、非转诊医院的麻醉护士（P = 0.023）以及工作经验≥10年的麻醉护士（P = 0.019）的工作满意度显著更高。在≥60.0%的情况下，麻醉护士对工作保障、社会服务、职权、能力运用和职责感到满意。他们对薪酬、工作条件和职业发展的不满意比例相近。留任工作的主要原因是为公众服务，占68.2%。在博茨瓦纳，雇主应努力改善从事临床工作的麻醉护士的工作条件、薪酬和职业发展。
