| Popis: | OBJECTIVE Job satisfaction and work stress are associated with provider health and patient outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate job satisfaction and workplace stressors in surgical providers (surgeons, physician assistants [PAs], and NPs). METHODS A survey was distributed to providers within a single surgical department. Job satisfaction and workplace stressors were evaluated by sex, age, profession, career length, and work hours. RESULTS Providers practicing for 11 to 15 years had greater job satisfaction than those practicing for more than 20 years, with no other differences by demographic group. Females cited supervisory support as a top workplace stressor more than did males (P = .01) and PAs and NPs cited supervisory support (P < .01) and compensation/finances more than surgeons (P = .05). Workplace stressors varied by practice years and work hours. CONCLUSIONS Healthcare organizations should be aware of diversity in perceived workplace stressors. A "one size fits all" approach to provider well-being is likely to be ineffective. |
