Abstract:

Background and Aim: One of the key issues for military hospitals is to evaluate the job satisfaction of nurses. The aim of this study was to compare the job satisfaction of nurses in two hospitals of the Armed Forces. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was performed on 290 nurses working in two hospitals of the Armed Forces in Tehran, Iran in 2018. Data were collected by demographic information questionnaire and Smith Job Satisfaction Questionnaire by the self-report method. Data were analyzed using SSPS-16 software. Results: The mean score of job satisfaction of nurses in hospitals No. 1 and No. 2 was 233.5±30.2 and 230.5±40.7, respectively, which was not significantly different. In terms of job satisfaction dimensions, nurses of hospital No. 1 had higher scores for the dimensions of "nature of work" (P = 0.03), "salary" (P <0.001) and "promotion" (P = 0.02) than other. In contrast, the scores of "colleagues" (P = 0.004) and "supervision" (P <0.001) in nurses of hospital No. 2 were significantly higher than nurses of hospital No 1. Conclusion: Considering that the job satisfaction of military nurses was moderate in both hospitals, it is necessary that some measurements be taken by managers and decision-makers to increase job satisfaction.
