Abstract:

Background

There is a significant shortage of general practitioners at primary healthcare institutions in China, and their low job satisfaction is a crucial factor leading to the scarcity of talents.

Objective

To understand the job satisfaction and related factors among general practitioners (GPs) from primary healthcare institutions in Chengdu.

Methods

From December 2018 to January 2019, a questionnaire survey was conducted on all registered general practitioners working at primary healthcare institutions in Chengdu (n=1 549). The questionnaire included their basic information, job satisfaction, and their suggestions for improving job satisfaction. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the factors influencing job satisfaction among GPs.

Results

A total of 1 539 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective response rate of 99.35%. The overall job satisfaction of general practitioners was (114.0±17.2), indicating a "moderate" level. The average score of job workflow dimensions was the lowest (10.6±2.5), indicating "dissatisfaction". Other dimensions scored at a "moderate" level. The scores for salary and welfare dimension were relatively low at (11.8±2.8) and (11.6±2.8) respectively. There were statistically significant differences in overall job satisfaction among GPs of different genders and age groups (P<0.05) ; however, no statistical significance was found among GPs with different educational backgrounds, titles, and years of work experience (P>0.05). The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age was a significant factor affecting overall job satisfaction of GPs (P<0.05). GPs aged 30-39 [OR (95%CI) =0.132 (0.035-0.494) ] and 40-49 [OR (95%CI) =0.207 (0.065-0.664) ] had lower job satisfaction compared to those aged 50 and above (P<0.05). A total of 419 individuals made suggestions for improving their job satisfaction, resulting in a total of 427 suggestions. Among these, "improving benefits" ranked the highest (25.53%, 109/427) .

Conclusion

The overall job satisfaction of GPs in primary healthcare institutions in Chengdu is generally moderate, with the least satisfaction regarding workflow and the greatest desire for improved benefits. Age is a factor influencing job satisfaction among GPs. It is recommended to take effective measures to enhance job satisfaction among GPs by addressing their areas of dissatisfaction, such as streamlining workflow and implementing a system of "fair distribution according to work performance".

摘要:

背景

我国基层全科医生数量缺口大,基层全科医生工作满意度低是导致人才匮乏的重要因素。

目的

了解基层医疗卫生机构全科医生的工作满意度及影响因素。

方法

于2018年12月—2019年1月,对成都市基层医疗卫生机构所有注册为全科医学专业的全科医生(n=1 549)进行问卷调查,内容包括全科医生的基本信息、工作满意度及其对提高工作满意度的建议。采用无序多分类Logistic回归分析基层全科医生工作满意度的影响因素。

结果

回收有效问卷1 539份,问卷有效应答率为99.35%。全科医生的总体工作满意度为(114.0±17.2)分,处于"一般"水平。其中,工作流程维度的平均得分最低,为(10.6±2.5)分,处于"不满意"水平;其他维度的平均得分皆处于"一般"水平;薪酬和福利待遇维度的得分相对较低,分别为(11.8±2.8)分和(11.6±2.8)分。不同性别、年龄全科医生的总体工作满意度比较,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);不同学历、职称、工作年限全科医生的总体工作满意度比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。多元Logistic回归分析结果显示,年龄是全科医生总体工作满意度的影响因素(P<0.05),30~39岁[OR(95%CI)=0.132(0.035~0.494)]和40~49岁[OR(95%CI)=0.207(0.065~0.664)]全科医生的总体工作满意度低于≥50岁者(P<0.05)。提出提高自身工作满意度建议的人数为419名,共提建议427人次。其中,"提高待遇"的建议居首位(25.53%,109/427)。

结论

成都市基层医疗卫生机构全科医生的总体工作满意度一般,全科医生对工作流程最不满意,最希望提高待遇,年龄是基层全科医生工作满意度的影响因素。建议针对全科医生满意度"短板",采取有效措施提高其工作满意度,如简化工作流程、实施"按劳分配"等。
