| dc.description.abstract | Mental health disorder has been considered as one of the critical problems at the workplace. Studies carried across the world have shown that there is a relationship between job satisfaction and mental health. However, there are limited studies conducted among medical staff working in Masasi District hospitals and healthcare centers in Tanzania. The current cross-sectional correlational research study was carried out to investigate the relationship between job satisfaction and mental health among the medical staff working in Masasi District, Tanzania. The specific objectives of the study were: to investigate the level of job satisfaction among the medical staff; to establish the prevalence of mental health among the medical staff; and to measure the relationship between job satisfaction and mental health among the medical staff. Systematic random sampling technique was used to obtain 223 participants for the study. Self-administered questionnaires which included Brayfield and Rothe scale, were used to test job satisfaction and Goldberg and Hillier (GHQ-28) scale was used to test mental health. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. In regard to objective one, the results show that the participants with negative job satisfaction were higher 53.8% (n = 120) compared to those participants with positive job satisfaction 46.2% (n = 103). The result in objective two revealed non-disordered somatic symptoms were higher 70.3% compared to disorder at 29.7%. As for anxiety/insomnia symptoms, the results show non-disordered 61.4% compared to 38.6% disordered. As regard to social dysfunction, the results indicate that the participants with non-disordered social dysfunction symptoms were higher 74.9% compared disordered at 25.1%. With reference to participants with severe depression, the results shows that the participants with non-disordered severe depression symptoms were higher 78.5% compared with disordered at 21.5%. The results in objective three show that there was a significant relationship between job satisfaction and mental health among the participants (p = .000). The study might help the ministry of health to increase awareness of the relationship between job satisfaction and mental health. | en_US |
