Abstract:
PURPOSE: This study aimed to identify the factors influencing job satisfaction in intensive care unit (ICU) nurses.METHOD: Using a cross-sectional design, data collected from 145 ICU nurses working at two university hospitals with more than 1,200 beds located in B and Y city were analyzed. The instruments used for this study assessed autonomy, communication satisfaction, resilience, and job satisfaction. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression analysis.RESULTS: Job satisfaction was significantly correlated with communication satisfaction (r=.60, p < .001) and resilience (r=.34, p < .001). Further, job satisfaction was influenced by communication satisfaction (β=.48, p < .001), working at a surgery ICU (β=.21, p =.008), and dissatisfaction with nursing (β=-.24, p =.005). The explanatory power of this model was 44.7%.CONCLUSION: Job satisfaction was significantly correlated with communication satisfaction (r=.60, p < .001) and resilience (r=.34, p < .001). Further, job satisfaction was influenced by communication satisfaction (β=.48, p < .001), working at a surgery ICU (β=.21, p =.008), and dissatisfaction with nursing (β=-.24, p =.005). The explanatory power of this model was 44.7%.
