Improving Job Satisfaction Among Nurses in Benin. Intervention to improve nurse satisfaction in Djidja and Covè area hospitals (Benin)

      Аннотация: In Benin, nurses complain of inadequate job satisfaction and burnout. The data show 7135 inhabitants per doctor, 2648 inhabitants per nurse, 1705 inhabitants per midwife; this does not reflect World Health Organization (WHO) standards. The scoping review did not exhaustively show job satisfaction/motivation measures for Human Resources for Health (HRH) in all Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries respectively. A fortiori, job satisfaction/motivation measures specific to nurses in SSA were not mentioned. The factors "My pay and the amount of work I do" received the highest ratings of "very dissatisfied" (60, 92%), "dissatisfied" (37, 92%), "satisfied" (65, 52%) and "very satisfied" (32, 18%) respectively. The average "satisfied" rating was 37.4% in zone hospitals, versus 62.6% in health centers. Signs of burnout were noted in eight out of 10 people (82.76).
