Abstract:
Objective To examine the status and influencing factors of job satisfaction among staff in institutions affording combined service of medication and nursing care to elderly people in Henan province for providing evidences to improve integration of medical and nursing care services to the elderly.
Methods Using stratified multistage cluster sampling, we recruited 2 500 staff working for one year or more in 265 institutions with combined medical and nursing care services to elderly people in 72 urban districts/rural towns across Henan province. Face-to-face interviews were conducted among the staff with a self-designed questionnaire during July – September 2018.
Results Of the 2 432 staff with valid responses, 58.3% (1 418) reported the satisfaction with their jobs. The results of unconditional multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the staff aged 30 – 39 years and those having an average monthly income of 2 000 – 3 000 RMB yuan were more likely to have job satisfaction; while those working for five years and longer and those working in nursing homes were less likely to be satisfied to their jobs.
Conclusion In Henan province, the level of job satisfaction is not high generally and mainly influenced by age, working years, and whether working in nursing homes among the staff in the institutions providing combined service of medication and nursing care to elderly people.
