This paper describes a three-year research project that investigates the concept of occupational satisfaction of health professionals and suggests a method of measuring their level of occupational satisfaction. Additionally, the research examines factors defining occupational satisfaction important to health professionals. This process involves the development of a scale that measures the relative importance of various components of satisfaction, attitudes toward these components, and a weighted Index of Work Satisfaction. The methodology utilized in the development of this scale in an institutional setting with a sample of nurses is described, along with the transfer of this scale to three categories of health professionals involved in an outpatient setting. Responses from the physicians, nurses, and support staff in the ambulatory setting and responses from the hospital nurses indicate that the scale does measure occupational satisfaction of health professionals both in institutional and noninstitutional settings. Finally, statistical analysis of the original scale is reported and a revised scale is suggested for wider use.
本文描述了一个为期三年的研究项目，该项目调查了卫生专业人员职业满意度的概念，并提出了一种衡量他们职业满意度水平的方法。此外，该研究还考察了对卫生专业人员而言定义职业满意度的重要因素。这个过程包括开发一个量表，该量表用于衡量满意度各个组成部分的相对重要性、对这些组成部分的态度以及工作满意度加权指数。文中描述了在一个机构环境中以护士为样本开发此量表所采用的方法，以及将该量表应用于参与门诊环境的三类卫生专业人员的情况。门诊环境中医师、护士和辅助人员的回答以及医院护士的回答表明，该量表确实能够衡量机构和非机构环境中卫生专业人员的职业满意度。最后，报告了对原始量表的统计分析，并提出了一个修订版量表以供更广泛使用。
