Abstract

Introduction: Job satisfaction is an attitudinal variable representing the extent to which people like or dislike their jobs. It is a critical factor influencing healthcare quality, patient outcomes, and overall well-being in medical professionals. This study aimed to determine Job Satisfaction among medical doctors in Nepal.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among medical doctors of Nepal between June 2023 and August 2023 after obtaining ethical approval from the Ethical Review Board of Nepal Health Research Council. A convenience sampling method was used. The point estimate was calculated at a 95% Confidence Interval.

Results: Among 380 participants, 63 (16.58%) (12.84-20.32 at 95% Confidence Interval) expressed satisfaction. The number of satisfied participants above 40 years were 10 (16%) and less than 40 years were 53 (84%). Out of 63, 46 (73.02%) were male and 17 (26.98%) were females.

Conclusions: Job satisfaction among doctors practicing in Nepal was found to be lower than the studies conducted in similar settings.

尼泊尔医生的工作满意度：描述性横断面研究。

简介工作满意度是一个态度变量，代表了人们喜欢或不喜欢其工作的程度。它是影响医疗质量、患者疗效和医务人员整体福祉的关键因素。本研究旨在确定尼泊尔医生的工作满意度：在获得尼泊尔卫生研究委员会伦理审查委员会的伦理批准后，于 2023 年 6 月至 2023 年 8 月期间在尼泊尔医生中开展了一项描述性横断面研究。研究采用了方便抽样法。点估计值以 95% 的置信区间计算：在 380 名参与者中，63 人（16.58%）表示满意（95% 置信区间为 12.84-20.32）。40 岁以上的满意人数为 10 人（16%），40 岁以下的满意人数为 53 人（84%）。在 63 名参与者中，46 名（73.02%）为男性，17 名（26.98%）为女性：尼泊尔执业医生的工作满意度低于在类似环境下进行的研究。
