Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 82
Abstract
BACKGROUND Medicine has long been considered as one of the most sacred and well reputed professions. In all groups of population, many children aspire to become doctor since their early childhood. But gradually a physician’s job has lost its charm as it used to be in the past. The prime reason of this attenuated job satisfaction is enormous job stress, which a doctor undergoes during performance of his job. Though there is a general perception that currently doctors are adequately contented with their jobs, yet formal medical research over the subject is meagre all over the globe. This is a descriptive study carried out in District Hospital, Kalaburagi, to find out the level of job satisfaction in doctors. The study was conducted between January 2017 and June 2017. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a descriptive study carried out in a sample group of 50 doctors working in district hospital, Gulbarga. This included both working in medical education department and health and family welfare department. A questionnaire was prepared and the response was recorded. Data analysis was carried out and necessary suggestions will be considered and if required necessary measures will be taken to increase the job satisfaction among doctors. RESULTS The collected information from the sample was analysed using statistics and presented in terms of frequency percentage and depicted with diagrams. Our initial assumption carried weight as significant number of doctors were found discontented with their jobs. In this regard, myriad factors were found to play a pivotal role in job dissatisfaction of doctors. It is suggested that these overriding factors, which impact performance of doctors be addressed at all tiers. Consequently, boosted satisfaction at work will warranty better health care delivery and patient welfare, which is the utmost goal of every health care institution. CONCLUSION A significant number of doctors was found discontented with their job, which may consequently impact their yield/ performance. The job satisfaction can be substantially improved if these contributory factors are aptly addressed at all tiers.
