Introduction: Knowing the factors that lead to job satisfaction is essential for employees and employers to improve the work environment. This study investigates the relationship between job satisfaction and the prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms in the Allameh Behlool Gonabadi Hospital in 2021.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 107 employees of Allameh Behlool Hospital in Gonabad in 2021. A demographic information checklist, Nordic standard questionnaire, and Minnesota job satisfaction questionnaire were used. Collected data were entered into SPSS software version 24 and interpreted using descriptive and analytical statistics. The significance level for all analyses was considered 0.05.
Results: The mean age of the participants was 31.10±6.45, and the mean job satisfaction score was 55.08± 10.34. According to the Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire, 48 people had average satisfaction, and 59 had unsatisfactory satisfaction. There was no significant relationship between musculoskeletal symptoms and job satisfaction; however, musculoskeletal symptoms were higher in people with unfavorable job satisfaction.
Conclusion: The prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and job dissatisfaction in hospital staff is high, which can play an essential role in reducing their work efficiency and disability. Therefore, due to the special position of hospital staff in the health system, measures are recommended to improve workplace ergonomics and solve the psychological problems of these people.
