Job satisfaction among family nurses in Poland: A questionnaire‐based study

AIM: To define the level of job satisfaction among Polish family nurses. Attempts were made to assess whether job satisfaction depends on the job location, form of employment, family structure and financial situation. DESIGN: A cross‐sectional study was conducted among Polish family nurses who were professionally active in 2018. METHOD: A self‐administered questionnaire which included a standardized questionnaire “The Satisfaction with Job Scale” by A. M. Zalewska and our survey questionnaire was administered to 225 of participants (returned 220). The data were collected in 2018. RESULTS: Our study showed that the Polish family nurses are moderately satisfied with their job. A higher level of job satisfaction was reported by those family nurses with longer job seniority, those who were working in the country, those who were owners or co‐owners of a primary healthcare unit, those who were living in a complete family or as single and those who could afford to buy what they wanted and possessed savings.
