Background and Aim: Medical residents play an important role in visiting the patients; also they're the future specialists of their country. Thus, their job satisfaction is of significant importance. In this study, we aimed to assess Iranian dermatology residents' job satisfaction and its related factors.
Methods: We used short Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ), in which, intrinsic and extrinsic job satisfaction factors are assessed with 20 questions. The data collection method was accidental sampling. Data analysis was performed by SPSS (version 17) program.
Results: Data were collected from 62 residents in years 2016-2017, majority of whom were studing in Tehran universities. Mean intrinsic and extrinsic satisfaction rates were 79% and 60% respectively. General satisfaction was 71.6%. In analytical assessment, attending attitude to residents (P=0.005), how much teaching performed by attendings (P<0.001), senior residents' attitude (P=0.003) and teaching skills by seniors (P<0.001) had a significant positive correlation with job satisfaction.
Conclusion: Generally, job satisfaction among Iranian dermatology residents was found as above average. The lowest satisfaction belonged to payments, job physical conditions, the hospital rules and education that all were extrinsic factors. It seems that change in educational program such as increasing training sessions, develop and implementation of rules halting non dermatologists practitionaires working in dermatology fields can promote dermatology residents' job satisfaction.
