Abstract

Presently staffs/workforce management in medical colleges became more challenges. The purpose of the study was to investigate the level of job satisfaction and associated factors in medical colleges of Nepal.
Methods: The study employed descriptive, cross-sectional study with the relevant respondents' such as doctors, nurses and administrative staffs working in different medical colleges of Nepal. The study was conducted within the affiliated college of Kathmandu University School of Medical Sciences (KUSMS). Simple random sampling method was used to select respondents. A total sample size of 108 for quantitative and 18 for qualitative was collected, using the formula from Charan and Biswas, 2013. For qualitative study, we used purposive convenience sampling strategy to enroll the health workers for key informant interview to gather data on job satisfaction, impression and experience about their job.
Results: 34.3% of the respondents, we surveyed were not satisfied with their job while 65.7% were satisfied with their current job. It has also been discovered that the delivery of high-quality health care depends on the level of job satisfaction with the healthcare organization.
Conclusions: There was a significant relationship between job satisfaction of health workforce and its' associated factors in medical college of Nepal. A focus on improving work environment through increased financial motivation and career development opportunities as well as investing in health insurance for diseases with increased resources support is recommended to improve job satisfaction.
背景：医疗部门在社会和其显著作用的工作满意度将提高卫生人力绩效。当前，医学院校的人力资源管理面临着更多的挑战。本研究的目的是调查尼泊尔医学院学生的工作满意度及相关因素。方法：采用描述性、横断面调查的方法，对尼泊尔不同医学院校的医生、护士和行政管理人员进行调查。该研究是在加德满都大学医学院附属学院（KUSMS）内进行的。采用简单随机抽样的方法选取调查对象。采用Charan and Biswas， 2013的公式，定量样本108个，定性样本18个。在质性研究方面，我们采用有目的的便利抽样策略，招募卫生工作者进行关键线人访谈，以收集其工作满意度、工作印象和工作体验的数据。结果：34.3%的受访者对目前的工作不满意，65.7%的受访者对目前的工作满意。还发现，提供高质量的医疗保健取决于对医疗保健组织的工作满意度水平。结论：尼泊尔医学院医务人员工作满意度与其相关因素存在显著相关关系。建议通过增加财政动机和职业发展机会，以及在增加资源支持的情况下投资于疾病健康保险，重点改善工作环境，以提高工作满意度。
