| Abstract [eng] |
Anaesthetic and intensive care nurses are confronted with different patient needs, problems, pain, and death rate on a daily routine, which over time can lead to emotional exhaustion, fatigue, and burnout, leading not only to job dissatisfaction, but also to a loss of motivation for work. Job dissatisfaction is a key factor in considering job change. The aim of this study was to analyse the factors influencing nurses, job satisfaction in intensive care units166 ICU nurses took part in the study. The data was collected in 2020–2021. The method chosen was a questionnaire survey. The questionnaire consisted of three parts: (1) socio-demographic data; (2) an open-ended question to determine respondents’ views on the factors that increase their motivation for their job; and (3) the Job Satisfaction Survey ( JSS). It was determined that the mean satisfaction level of nature of nurses’ work was at a medium-high level (M = 17.81, SD = 3.3), while relations with coworkers (M = 16.99, SD = 3.4), communication (M = 16.92, SD = 3.7) and supervision (M = 16.74, SD = 4.0) were less than moderate. Nurses’ overall job satisfaction was found to be average. Nurses’ job satisfaction depended on the nature of the work and their relationships with coworkers. Nurses, who were older, more highly educated, and had less than one full-time job had a higher perception of coworkers and communication. |
