How do the Working Conditions of a Healthcare Worker Affect Family Life?: Seeing Through the Eyes of Healthcare Worker Spouses

Aim: In this study, it is aimed to evaluate the relationship between the working conditions of healthcare workers and their family life from the perspective of the spouses of healthcare workers. Method: The research is a descriptive and cross-sectional study. The data of the study were collected from 146 physicians and nurse spouses in the form of an online questionnaire. Results: It was determined that 68.5% of the participants were male, 69.9% of them were non-health personnel, 90.4% of them did not work shifts and the mean age was 41.79±7.74. It was determined that 74% of the health workers were nurses and 40.4% of them worked in internal clinics. The participants stated that they did not find their spouses' financial income sufficient (68.5%), they were generally unhappy when their spouses came home from work (75.3%), their sexual life was negatively affected (46.6%), and they sometimes felt nervous and tense because of their spouses' profession (52.1%). It was determined that there was a significant relationship between the clinics in which their spouses worked and their family and social lives being affected, allocating time for their children, their sexual lives being negatively affected, and being irritable, nervous and unhappy (p<0.05). It was observed that the clinics that negatively affected the aforementioned conditions were mostly internal clinics, operating theatres, intensive care units and emergency services. Conclusion: As a result, the opinions of the spouses of healthcare workers show that there is a significant relationship between job satisfaction and the family life of healthcare workers. In the study, it was found that the family life of healthcare workers working in intensive care, operating theatre, emergency service units and internal clinics was more negatively affected than those working in other clinics. It is recommended to organise health policies that will increase the job satisfaction of health workers and to make rotations between clinics in a way that does not negatively affect the working environment.

Job satisfaction of health workers at a Vietnamese University Hospital and its predicted factors: A cross-sectional study.

Job satisfaction of healthcare workers from conventional and university hospitals (or teaching hospitals) might be different due to several factors, for example medical staff required to carry out multiple clinical and teaching tasks simultaneously. Our study aimed to determine how the job satisfaction among healthcare workers in university hospitals is different from those in conventional hospitals. A cross-sectional study was conducted by using the validated and contextualized job satisfaction tool for the Vietnamese context to survey 216 healthcare workers at a university hospital in Vietnam from January to March 2020 with online Google forms. The results indicated low overall job satisfaction (43.1%) in our study university hospital with the score cutoff of 80%. However, healthcare workers still reported high job satisfaction rates in certain aspects, such as personal empathy (70.8%), discipline, and reward (67.6%), co-worker collaboration (65.3%), training and promotion (63%), workplace environment (57.4%), and salary and allowance (44.9%). Subgroup analysis revealed statistically significant differences in job satisfaction (p < 0.01) related to age (31 to 40-year-old), and job position with ORs 3.9, and 8.6 respectively. University hospitals need to improve the healthcare workers' job satisfaction. It is recommended that special human resource strategies should be developed focusing on keeping satisfying older healthcare staff by recognizing their contributions and providing appropriate benefits based on their positions in the hospital.

Job Satisfaction of Health Practitioners Providing Outreach Health Services during COVID-19 in Rural New South Wales (NSW) and the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), Australia.

Background: Outreach health practitioners play a key role in enhancing access to healthcare for remote, rural, regional, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Australia. Outreach health practitioners are those providing ongoing and integrated health services in communities that would otherwise have limited access. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is important to understand the job satisfaction of health workers as it correlates with long-term retention of the workforce, as well as effectiveness in the role and clinical outcomes for patients. Method: The study analysed data from 258 outreach health practitioners who responded to two cross-sectional surveys conducted by the NSW Rural Doctors Network during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020/21 and 2021/22 in NSW and the ACT, Australia. Both bivariate and multivariate analyses were employed to assess the associations between the outcome variable (outreach health practitioners' job satisfaction) and independent variables (sociodemographic factors, motivation, self-confidence, communication, capability). Results: Overall, the study showed that 92.2% of health practitioners were satisfied in their role providing outreach health services during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the multivariable model, factors significantly associated with higher satisfaction included good communication with other local health practitioners, using telehealth along with in-person care, and having high self-rated capability compared to those health practitioners who said they had lower job satisfaction. Conclusions: Outreach health practitioners' job satisfaction is important because poor satisfaction may lead to suboptimal healthcare delivery, poor clinical outcomes, and poor retention of staff in rural settings. These findings should be taken into consideration when developing future strategies to improve job satisfaction among rural outreach health practitioners and to enhance attraction, recruitment and retention and may be applicable to the broader health workforce.

Ensuring Safety of Patients in Complex Health Systems: A Focus on Primary Healthcare Service Relations in Nigeria

Patient-centered healthcare is a goal for all health systems. However, given the inherent complexities of the health system as one with many nonlinear and dynamic components, the safety of patients could be affected. Therefore, there is the need to study these complexities to manage them toward optimal service delivery. The present study is a qualitative inquiry into the complexities of primary healthcare (PHC) in Nigeria and effects on patients' safety across four PHC facilities in Enugu state in southeast Nigeria. It utilizes a framework that draws on the components of interprofessional collaboration, inclusive of health financing and health workforce satisfaction, to understand the complex PHC system and patient safety. The study findings show that the PHC system in the study area performs suboptimally on the three counts, which implies poor management of the complexities of the system such that patients are highly susceptible to harm. Making a commitment to addressing the shortcomings present in each of the three components will help to decomplexify PHC in line with the World Health Organization agenda of achieving resilient and strong health systems. Importantly, optimizing the psychosocial space in Nigeria's PHC by employing qualified social workers and other psychosocial professionals is crucial for patient safety and a range of psychosocial activities that can enhance job satisfaction of health workers.

Career Calling as the Mediator and Moderator of Job Demands and Job Resources for Job Satisfaction in Health Workers: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Job satisfaction of health professionals is a key determinant of the quality of health services and even affects the development of the healthcare system. In this study, we sought to explore the mechanism by which job demands, job resources, and career calling affect the job satisfaction of health professionals. Our findings may provide insights for increasing their job satisfaction and improving the quality of health services. We conducted a questionnaire survey of 1,117 health workers in Hangzhou; t-test, Chi-squared analysis, hierarchical linear regression was used to analyze the state of job satisfaction of health personnel and the associated factors; path analysis with the Structural Equation Model was used to explore and verify the effects of job resources, demands, and career calling on job satisfaction, as well as their mechanism. Social support, performance feedback, working conditions, and career calling had significant positive effects on job satisfaction of health professionals, whereas work-family conflict and emotional requirements for work had significant negative effects. Path analysis indicated that job resources, demands, and career calling directly affected job satisfaction; job resources and demands showed indirect effects on job satisfaction with career calling as a mediator. Career calling had a positive moderating effect in the path of “job resources–job satisfaction,” and a negative moderating effect in the path of “job demands–job satisfaction.” In conclusion, hospital administrators should provide more job resources for health workers and formulate reasonable job demands while paying close attention to work-related pressure. Hospital administrators and health departments need to improve hospital policies and inculcate a sense of belonging and career calling among health professionals. Education and evaluation of career calling need to be accorded more attention so that healthcare workers can perceive a stronger sense of calling and achievement, and hence a higher degree of job satisfaction.

Predictors of job satisfaction in public hospitals in Belgrade, Serbia: a cross-sectional study

Abstract Background Growing evidence has suggested that job satisfaction in the health-care system can affect productivity, the quality of service, and patient safety. Knowledge regarding job satisfaction of health workers and its determinants is valuable to health-care managers for decision making in the field of personnel policy. This study was aimed to assess job satisfaction among health workers in public hospitals in Belgrade, Serbia and identify its associated factors. Methods This was a cross-sectional study, carried out within 24 hours, in December 2018, as a part of a national survey, which is conducted annually in all health care institutions in Serbia. Data were collected by self-administered structured questionnaire, which was distributed to all health workers who were at work at the time of the survey (11,588 health workers in 26 public hospitals in Belgrade). The completed questionnaires were returned by 9,203 health workers, which constituted the response rate of 79.4%. Multivariable logistic regression was applied to identify factors significantly and independently associated with a higher level of job satisfaction. Results Overall, 31.4% of the respondents were satisfied with their job. Age less than 35 years [AOR = 1.40; 95% CI (1.18-1.67)], no work stress [AOR = 2.66; 95% CI (1.94-3.65)], satisfaction with time for accomplishment of tasks [AOR = 1.92; 95% CI (1.64-2.26)], satisfaction with recognition and value of health workers’ engagement [AOR = 1.79; 95% CI (1.51-2.13)], and satisfaction with leadership style and work organization [AOR = 1.90; 95% CI (1.60-2.26)] were identified as determinants with highest influence at job satisfaction. Conclusions Less than third of health workers in Belgrade’s hospitals were satisfied with their job, while satisfaction with various aspects of the job, age, and work stress, were identified as predictors. The results of this study could be useful in proposing strategies to improve job satisfaction of health workers. Key messages The job satisfaction of health workers in Belgrade’s hospitals is low. Health-care managers should pay attention to create an environment that promotes job satisfaction and reduces work stress.
