Abstrakt: Background: Doctors' dissatisfaction with their jobs can have significant public health implications as it may adversely affect the clinical management of patients and it may affect their health as well. Objectives: To assess job satisfaction and explore the perceived barriers and facilitators of job satisfaction among postgraduate trainees in a tertiary hospital, Imphal. Materials and Methods: A mixed-method study was conducted among postgraduate trainees. For the quantitative component, all the postgraduate trainees (430) enrolled in a tertiary hospital were included. For the qualitative part, participants were approached for in-depth interviews using purposive sampling till the saturation point was reached. Data was summarised in mean, standard deviation, and percentage. Chi-Square test and ANOVA, followed by Bonferroni for comparison were applied. Thematic analysis was done for qualitative data. Results: Overall, 89.1% of the participants were not satisfied with their jobs. Out of 405 respondents, 96 persons disagreed, and 42 persons strongly disagreed on being satisfied with their working hours. Participants were most satisfied in domains of teamwork, leadership, empowerment and participation. Among postgraduate trainees of different departments, PMR was the most satisfied and Obstetrics and Gynaecology was the least satisfied. Conclusion: Most participants experienced burnout due to increased working hours and lack of work- life balance. They also expressed the need for rewards and recognition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
