Arbetstillfredsställelse hos röntgensjuksköterskor i Sverige

Background: Job satisfaction is a well studied factor within health care but in the field of radiography the research is limited. Aim: The aim was to describe the Swedish radiographers job satisfaction in a national perspective. Method: The study was conducted as a quantitative cross-sectional study using a web questionnaire. The questionnaire was sent to 2114 registerd radiographers based on the membership list of the Swedish Association of Health Professionals. Result: 871 (41 %) radiographers responded. The majority of the respondents were satisfied with their career choice and perceived their work stimulating and interesting. Work relations, community and opportunities of development were also positively valued. The lowest estimated area was work load. Conclusion: Highlighting the positive aspects of the Swedish radiographers work and working towards improving the negative parts that appeared in this study could make the profession more attractive and help maintaining the current radiographers which can create a bright future for the radiographers job satisfaction and thereby facilitating a good quality of care
