Job satisfactions have impacts on productivity and essentials provision of care for maternal and child health in the rural area. Despite Health extension workers (HEWs) have pivotal role towards improvement of maternal and child health outcome, there is scarcity of data regarding their job satisfaction, hence this study was employed to assess the level of job satisfaction and associated factors among rural HEW in Buno Bedele Zone, Southwest Ethiopia. A Facility based cross-sectional study design was conducted among 393 randomly selected HEW from May to June, 2023. A pretested; questionnaire was used to collect the data. SPSS version 25 was used for statistical analysis. Logistic regression analysis with odds ratio (OR), a 95% CI and P < 0.05 were used to declare statistical significance. The overall satisfaction of health extension workers was 45.5%, [95% Confidence interval CI 44.0-46.09]. Availability of residence [AOR = 2.349, 95% CI 1.352, 4.083], transfer between kebeles [AOR = 0.267, 95% CI 0.132, 0.540], availability of medical supply [AOR = 2.853, 95% CI 1.474, 5.523], Good working environment [AOR = 3.395, 95% CI 2.017, 5.717], Getting technical support during work from their supervisor [AOR = 3.656, 95% CI 1.851, 7.219] were significantly associated factors with HEW job satisfaction. More than half of the health extension workers were dissatisfied with their jobs. Availability of living home, Transfer, medical supply, Environment, Support was predictor of job satisfaction. It is crucial to encourage intervention mode that may enhance their satisfaction and motivation of HEWs to improve service provision.
工作满意度对农村地区母婴保健的生产力和基本服务提供有影响。尽管卫生推广工作者（HEWs）在改善母婴健康结果方面发挥着关键作用，但关于他们工作满意度的数据稀缺，因此本研究旨在评估埃塞俄比亚西南部布诺贝莱地区农村 HEW 的工作满意度水平及其相关因素。 2023 年 5 月至 6 月，采用基于机构的横断面研究设计，对 393 名随机抽取的 HEW 进行了研究。使用经过预测试的问卷收集数据。使用 SPSS 版本 25 进行统计分析。使用逻辑回归分析，比值比（OR），95%置信区间（CI）和 P < 0.05 来宣布统计学意义。卫生推广工作者的总体满意度为 45.5%[95%置信区间 CI 44.0-46.09]。居住地点的可用性[OR=2.349，95%CI 1.352-4.083]，在乡镇之间调动[OR=0.267，95%CI 0.132-0.540]，医疗用品的可用性[OR=2.853，95%CI 1.474-5.523]，良好的工作环境[OR=3.395，95%CI 2.017-5.717]，从主管那里获得工作支持[OR=3.656，95%CI 1.851-7.219]与 HEW 工作满意度显著相关。超过一半的卫生推广工作者对自己的工作不满意。居住地点的可用性、调动、医疗用品、环境、支持是工作满意度的预测因素。鼓励可能提高 HEW 满意度和激励他们改善服务提供的干预模式至关重要。
