背景：工作满意度低与生产率低和员工流动率高有关。各种因素被认为有助于药房专业人员的工作不满，并在埃塞俄比亚东部进行了非常有限的研究。因此，目前的研究旨在评估药房专业人员及其predictors.Methods的工作满意度水平：一个横断面研究进行了232名药房专业人员，以评估位于埃塞俄比亚东部的公立医院的工作满意度水平。数据收集使用自我管理的半结构式问卷。将数据输入Epi-Data版本3.1，并导出至STATA版本14.2进行分析。因变量和自变量之间的关联进行了评估，使用调整后的比值比（AOR）在95%的置信区间（CI）和p值小于0.05被认为是显着的多变量分析。参与者的平均年龄为27.6岁（SD + 4.1）。超过一半的受访者（55.4%）具有学士学位，大多数（86.4%）每周工作时间不到40小时，主要是在配药单位（75.4%）。大约三分之一的参与者（32.7，95% CI; 26.8-39.2）对他们的工作感到满意。20至25岁年龄组，与30岁以上年龄组相比（AOR = 3.5，95% CI; 1.1-9.7），相对于拥有文凭，拥有学士学位（AOR = 4.2，95%CI; 1.8-10.00），每周工作40 h以上（AOR = 6.2，95% CI，2.4-16），并在配药单位工作（AOR = 2.4，95%CI; 1.1-5.5）与工作不满意度有很强的相关性。在这项研究中，药学专业人员的工作满意度水平被发现是非常低的。年龄在20 ~ 25岁、本科学历、每周工作时间超过40小时、在调剂单位工作是工作不满意度的强预测因子。因此，药剂科主任和医院管理者应努力减少员工不必要的工作量，创造良好的工作氛围。
Background: Poor job satisfaction has been associated with less productivity and high staff turnover. Various factors are thought to contribute for job dissatisfaction among pharmacy professionals and very limited studies have been conducted in eastern part of Ethiopia. Therefore, the current study was aimed to assess the level of job satisfaction among pharmacy professionals and its predictors.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 232 pharmacy professionals to assess level of job satisfaction in public hospitals located in the eastern Ethiopia. The data were collected using self-administered semi-structured questionnaires. Data were entered into Epi-Data version 3.1 and exported to STATA version 14.2 for analysis. Associations between the dependent and independent variables were assessed by multivariate analysis using an Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) at a 95% confidence interval (CI) and p-value less than 0.05 was considered as significant.Results: A total 220 questionnaires were found complete and included in the analysis. The mean age of participants was 27.6(SD + 4.1). More than half of the respondents (55.4%) had a bachelor degree and the majority (86.4%) were working less than 40 h per week, mostly in dispensing units (75.4%). About one third of the participants (32.7, 95% CI; 26.8-39.2) were found to be satisfied with their job. Age category of 20 to 25 years in reference to age greater than 30 years (AOR = 3.5, 95% CI; 1.1-9.7), holding a bachelor degree in reference to having diploma (AOR = 4.2, 95% CI; 1.8-10.00), working for more than 40 h per week (AOR = 6.2, 95% CI, 2.4-16), and working in dispensing units (AOR = 2.4, 95% CI; 1.1-5.5) were found to have strong association with job dissatisfaction.Conclusion: In this study, the job satisfaction levels of pharmacy professionals were found to be very low. The age category of 20 to 25, holding a bachelor degree, working for more than 40 h per week, and working in dispensing unit were found to be strong predictors of job dissatisfaction. Hence, pharmacy directors and hospital administrators should work to reduce unnecessary workload on the staffs and create good working climate.
