Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to clarify the job satisfaction and the working environment of nurses working in hospitals, and to clarify the factors affecting job satisfaction. A questionnaire survey was conducted for nurses working in hospitals in Tokyo and two prefectures, and valid responses were obtained from 790 people. The questionnaire used the “Job Satisfaction ”.
In the "work environment", "salary" and "interpersonal relationship", job satisfaction was especially low in the 50s and 11-20 years of experience. In the “job content”, the managers were more satisfied than the staff, and in the “job content” and “salary”, those who completed the professional education course were significantly more satisfied. In the future, it will be necessary to present work styles that take into consideration the life cycle, to consider support that suits readiness, and to train nursing managers who can be role models tailored to their career development.
