Factors influencing emergency medicine worker shift satisfaction: A rapid assessment of wellness in the emergency department.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

In emergency medicine (EM), the interplay of wellbeing and burnout impacts not only patient care, but the health, productivity, and job satisfaction of EM healthcare workers. The study objective was to use a rapid assessment tool to identify factors that impact EM worker satisfaction, or "wellness," while on shift in the emergency department (ED) and the association with role and level of satisfaction.

Methods

This prospective descriptive study utilized a QR-code-based electronic survey instrument that included a 7-point Likert shift satisfaction score. A voluntary response sampling was obtained from EM workers at five EDs. Respondents self-reported role and work site. Association and logistic regression analysis were performed.
