Abstract: (365 Views)
Background: Emergency medical personnel are among the people who play a major role in reducing the mortality and disability of the injured. This study determines the relationship between mental health and job satisfaction with professional ethics in emergency medical personnel.
Materials and Methods: The present cross-sectional study included 126 emergency medical personnel in Hamadan City, Iran. The data were collected using a 3-part demographic information questionnaire, the 28-item general health questionnaire, the Barry Field and Ruth job satisfaction questionnaire and the Cadozier professional ethics questionnaire. The data were analyzed using Stata software, version 14. Meanwhile, the significance level was considered P<0.05.
Results: Most of the participants in the study were married (53.17%), technicians (80.95%), in contractual employment (75.4%), with rotating shift type (84.92%), had a bachelor’s degree (55.56%) and were not satisfied with their monthly income (76.98%). The results showed that the mean scores of mental health, professional ethics and job satisfaction were 50.9, 81.45 and 35.58, respectively. There is a direct and significant relationship between mental health and professional ethics (P=0.007, r=0.24). Additionally, there is a direct and significant relationship between professional ethics and job satisfaction (P=0.001, r=0.41). However, no significant relationship was observed between mental health and job satisfaction (P=0.24, r=0.10).
Conclusion: Mental health workshops and fun facilities can improve emergency medical personnel’s professional ethics and job satisfaction due to their direct relationship.
