Keywords:
work context, job satisfaction, emergency nursesAbstract
Background: Emergency nurses make a difference in the lives of people every day, every shift, although it is more dissatisfied than nurses in other departments. Nurses frequently endure psychological, emotional, and physical stress at work, and many are unsatisfied with their work context, which results in poorer morale and negatively impacts the quality of healthcare services provided to clients. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the relationship between work context and job satisfaction among emergency nurses. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study conducted by convenient sample of 104 nurses was selected, that includes nurses working at emergency units in the Al-Hilla city. The questionnaire's dependability was established through a pilot research, and it was subsequently presented to experts for validation. The questionnaire contained a total of 20 items for the work context and 24 items for job satisfaction. The information was gathered through interviews and evaluated using descriptive and inferential statistical data analysis methods. Results: The study's findings revealed that there was a strong (positive) association between the two variables nurses' job satisfaction level and their work context (r=0.328; p=0.001).
