- Abstract
- As the healthcare environment has changed both socially and politically importance of public health doctors' roles has increased and ongoing revision of their roles is also needed in Korea. However, many problems have decreased the job satisfaction of public health doctors. This study aims to determine the factors that influence public health doctors' satisfaction. The survey was conducted over the course of 2 months by questionnaire methodology. A total of 881 respondents (response rate, 90.1%) participated and 778 valid responses were analyzed using SAS version 9.1 Items about arranged organization, work task, employee welfare and services, education, public health doctor's system, and the role of public health doctors were included in the questionnaire. It was found that the satisfaction of many respondents was not high and they had negative perceptions of arranged organization, work, environment, employee welfare and services, education, system, and their own role. Although the public health doctors have professional knowledge of healthcare, they were not satisfied with their role because they were required to do inappropriate work, improperly arranged and found performing work difficult when treated unfairly or not paid fairly. Therefore, policies focused on financial compensation or system improvement must be established to increase the satisfaction of public health doctors. This study's limitation was that the survey was done through two modalities. However, it is meaningful that issues related to the public health doctors were dealt with more comprehensively in this study than other studies.
