Popis: Background It is known that job satisfaction has an important impact on efficacy or burnout syndrome of medical personnel. Many studies have concerned job satisfaction among critical care nurses. Not as many have focused on anesthesia nurses working in operating theaters. In Poland, anesthesia and intensive care is a combined specialty for nurses. However, nurses work in an intensive care unit (ICU) or in an operating room (OR), and very rarely in both settings. We would like to compare satisfaction between ICU and OR nurses. Methods It was a multicenter cross-sectional study. 406 nurses from thirteen hospitals participated in this study. All respondents filled in the questionnaire that contained fifteen Likert-like questions reflecting different aspects of job satisfaction. Demographic data were also collected. Results We did not find a significant difference between ICU and OR nurses in the overall job satisfaction. Furthermore, the type of hospital did not significantly influence satisfaction of our study participants. The most important factor which differentiated the level of satisfaction among nurses was the region of Poland in which they worked. Interestingly, nurses who worked in ICUs were significantly younger in comparison to their colleagues from ORs. Conclusion The results of our study suggest that the region of the country in which nurses work might play a very important role in their satisfaction.
