Abstract:
Background: COVID-۱۹ pandemic has created many serious challenges to the frontline workers in their day-to-day job activities. Job satisfaction among healthcare workers is most predominant component to smooth functioning of institutional activities and to improve the quality of patient care.
Objective: To find out job satisfaction among frontline healthcare workers during COVID-۱۹ pandemic.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among ۲۲۸ healthcare workers (doctors and nurses) working in Chitwan Medical College Teaching Hospital (CMC-TH) during the COVID-۱۹ pandemic. A simple random sampling technique was used to select the sample and a self-administered structured questionnaire with a job satisfaction scale was used to collect the data. Obtained data were analyzed in SPSS version ۲۰ for Windows using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results: The majority (۷۱.۱%) of the healthcare workers were ambivalent whereas few (۱۸%) were satisfied, and ۱۱.۰% were dissatisfied with their job during the COVID-۱۹ pandemic. Healthcare workers' median percentage satisfaction score was higher on the domains of coworkers (۷۰.۸%), nature of work (۷۰.۸%), and supervision (۷۰.۸%) whereas lower on fringe benefits (۵۴.۲%), and contingent rewards (۵۴.۲%) other domains. There was a statistically significant association between job satisfaction level with age (p=۰.۰۳۷), marital status (p= <۰.۰۰۱) and experience (p=۰.۰۱۶) of the doctors and nurses.
Conclusions: Job satisfaction is very low among healthcare workers in a teaching hospital. Hence, appropriate strategies are needed to be implemented considering the identified domains of satisfaction to enhance the healthcare workers’ job satisfaction and quality patients’ care.
