Background: Employee satisfaction in the healthcare sector has a direct impact not only on the quality of medical services, but also on workforce stability and overall organizational performance. High levels of job satisfaction are associated with improved work performance, whereas low satisfaction often leads to negative outcomes such as stress and burnout. Although studies on job satisfaction have been conducted in Mongolia, research specifically targeting healthcare workers—and identifying the key factors influencing their satisfaction—remains relatively limited. This gap provides the rationale for the present study Aim: The objective of this study is to examine job satisfaction among healthcare workers at primary and referral hospitals and to identify key factors influencing it. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted between 2022 and 2024 among 1,883 physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals aged 18–65 years from 11 provinces and Ulaanbaatar city, using a quantitative research approach with a cross-sectional design. Job satisfaction was assessed with a questionnaire comprising six subdomains (supportive leadership, opportunities for human resource development, professional ethics, organizational culture, quality of healthcare services, and workplace safety), rated on a three-point Likert scale. Data analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 26.0. Results: The overall level of job satisfaction among participants was 77.6%. Among the subdomains, workplace safety and supportive environment scored the lowest at 71.7%, whereas the quality and safety of healthcare services scored the highest at 83.4%. The findings indicated that holding a managerial position in hospitals in Ulaanbaatar and working as a physician in primary-level hospitals were positively associated with job satisfaction (p < 0.05). Age demonstrated a statistically significant association with job satisfaction, while years of work experience showed a negative correlation, with satisfaction decreasing as tenure increased (r = −0.09, p < 0.001). The findings indicate that improving healthcare workers’ job satisfaction requires strengthening and supporting several organizational dimensions, including supportive leadership, opportunities for human resource development, organizational culture, workplace safety, and a supportive work environment Conclusion Workplace safety and support, opportunities for human resource development, and organizational culture were found to be critical determinants of employee job satisfaction. The findings suggest that job satisfaction can be enhanced by optimizing organizational support, ensuring opportunities for professional growth, and strengthening workplace safety

Background: Treatment of adult tibiofibular fractures, especially severely comminuted fractures, is technically challenging due to the lack of reduction markers and difficulty in restoring the alignment. Fixation of the fibula can facilitate reduction of the tibia fracture and restoration of the lower extremity alignment. Methods: Between 2018-2019 we have operated on 50 patients who have lie on the same plane of tibiafibular fractures. Measures of angulation were obtained from radiographs taken immediately after the surgery, a second time 3 months later, and at 3-month follow-up. The analysis was performed with STATA. Results: Fixating fractures of tibia and fibula at same level were not shown to have complications on the development of nonunion including fibular shortening, hindfoot alignment, slow process of nonunion and unstableness. Conclusions We recommend fibular fixation in all 50 distal fractures when both fractures lie on the same plane and the tibial fracture is relatively stabilized.
