Job satisfaction among health professionals of Home Hospice for Children of Lodz Region
open access
Abstract
Background: Job satisfaction in palliative care proffesionals seems to be one of the most important factor
for effectiveness and quality of care. The aim of this study was to evaluate job satisfaction in our team.
Material and methods: The anonymous questionnaire designed specifically for the study was divided
into six domains: evaluation of self-abilities, evaluation of job responsibility, relationships within the team,
relationships with patients and their families, work organisation and social conditions and general work
evaluation. All variables have been standardized to a range of 0 to 100 points.
Results: Mean level of job satisfaction was evaluated as good. Mean results in all six domains were above
50 points. Highest level of satisfaction (above 75 points) was shown in the domain regarding relationship
with patients and their families. Lowest level of satisfaction was shown in domains showing relationship
within the team and general work evaluation.
Conclusion: Highest job satisfaction could contribute to improve the quality of home palliative care
