Associations of demographics, living conditions, work and lifestyle, with levels of satisfaction of nursing personnel in Grahamstown, South Africa

Abstract

Diverse demographics, living conditions, working conditions and lifestyles in the South African workforce are likely to affect levels of satisfaction and quality of life. Stressors facing nursing personnel include high mental and physical demands, occupational stress, declining job satisfaction and burnout. Understanding how home and work variables affect satisfaction levels could assist to formulate interventions to improve worker wellbeing. The aim of the study was to assess the association of demographic, living condition, work and lifestyle variations, with levels of life, living condition, health, job, and working condition satisfaction among nursing personnel.
