| description | Introduction: Burnout causes physical and emotional tireness, job dissatisfaction, resulting in reduced efficiency
and a feeling of alienation from colleagues. Also, job satisfaction has a major impact on job-related behaviors,
such as turnover intention, absenteeism, and job performance. The aim of this study was to determine job
burnout, job satisfaction rate, and related factors among health care workers in Golestan Province in Iran.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 1,141 health workers in Golestan Province in northern
Iran. Data were collected using a questionnaire that was comprised of four sections. It consisted of socio- economic characteristics, physical environment and facilities of health house (rural health clinic), Maslach
burnout inventory, and a satisfaction questionnaire. Multi-nomial Logistic Regression was conducted to analyze
the data using SPSS software, version 22.
Results: There were significant relationships between the intensity of job burnout and age (p < 0.001), years of
experience (p < 0.001), low education level (p = 0.027), number of children (p = 0.002), dissatisfaction with
income (p < 0.001), physical environment of health houses (p = 0.003), facilities of health houses (p =
0.025).There were significant relationships between the frequency of job burnout and age (p < 0.001), years of
experience (p < 0.001), low education level (p = 0.016), number of children (p = 0.003), dissatisfaction with
income (p < 0.001), and the physical environment of health houses (p = 0.008). There were significant
relationships between job satisfaction and the satisfaction from income (p = 0.001), the physical environment of
health houses (p = 0.001), and the facilities of health houses (p = 0.001).
Conclusion: Burnout was average among health workers, and health workers job satisfaction rate was lower than
the average level in health workers. Effective interventions are recommended with regards to the unfavorable
condition of job satisfaction and its relationship with job burnout. |
