| Abstract (English): | Background: Job satisfaction of dentists is critical for their performance, which comprises clinical and administrative skills and activities. Purpose: To analyze the job satisfaction of Peruvian dentists regarding some practice-related factors. Methods: The influencing factors in dental job satisfaction were analyzed using a self-administered survey consisting of closed responses and validated by the authors in a sample of 515 dentists. The inferential analysis was carried out through Chi-square tests and binary logistic regression to identify influencing factors through bivariate and multivariate associations (p = 0.05). Results: 58.5 % of respondents reported being satisfied, among whom there was greater satisfaction in not having a secretary-receptionist (p = 0.001) and dental assistant (p = 0.004), with the use of an appointment system (p = 0.001), the charge for the consultation (p = 0.003), and the specialized practice of dentistry (p = 0.007). The binary logistic regression showed that the two factors with the greatest relationship with job satisfaction were charging for the consultation (OR = 2.01; CI: 1.12-3.59; p = 0.01) and specialized practice (OR = 1.83; CI: 1.13 - 2.98; p = 0.01). Conclusion: The factors most related to job satisfaction are the charge per consultation and specialized practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): | Antecedentes: La satisfacción laboral de los odontólogos es fundamental para su desempeño en la salud, en el que se combinan destrezas clínicas y administrativas. Objetivo: Analizar la satisfacción laboral del odontólogo peruano en relación con factores relacionados con la práctica. Métodos: Se analizaron los factores influyentes en la satisfacción laboral odontológica usando una encuesta autoadministrada que incluía respuestas cerradas y fue validada por los autores en una muestra de 515 dentistas. El análisis inferencial se realizó por medio de pruebas Chi cuadrado y regresión logística binaria para identificar factores de forma bivariada como multivariada (p = 0,05). Resultados: El 58,5% de los encuestados refirió estar satisfecho. En ese grupo había mayor satisfacción al no contar con secretaria-recepcionista (p = 0,001) o asistente dental (p = 0,004), al uso de un sistema de citas (p = 0,001), cobrar por la consulta (p = 0,003) y tener un práctica odontológica especializada (p = 0,007). La regresión logística binaria mostró que los dos factores con mayor relación con la satisfacción laboral fueron cobrar por la consulta (OR = 2,01; IC: 1,12-3,59; p = 0,01) y la práctica especializada (OR = 1,83; IC: 1,13 - 2,98; p = 0,01). Conclusión: Los factores más relacionados con la satisfacción laboral fueron el cobro por la consulta y la práctica especializada. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Portuguese): | Antecedentes: A satisfação profissional dos médicos dentistas é essencial para o seu desempenho na saúde, que combina competências clínicas e administrativas. Objetivo: Analisar a satisfação profissional do dentista peruano em relação a fatores relacionados à prática. Métodos: Fatores influentes na satisfação no trabalho odontológico foram analisados por meio de um questionário autoadministrado que incluiu respostas fechadas e foi validado pelos autores em uma amostra de 515 dentistas. A análise inferencial foi realizada por meio de testes qui quadrado e regressão logística binária para identificação dos fatores de forma bivariada e multivariada (p < 0,05). Resultados: 58,5% dos pesquisados relataram estar satisfeitos. Neste grupo houve maior satisfação em não ter secretária-recepcionista (p = 0,001) ou auxiliar de dentista (p = 0,004), utilizar sistema de agendamento (p = 0,001), cobrar pela consulta (p = 0,003) e ter um consultório odontológico especializado (p = 0,007). A regressão logística binária mostrou que os dois fatores com maior relação com a satisfação no trabalho foram a cobrança pela consulta (OR = 2,01; IC: 1,12-3,59; p = 0,01) e a prática especializada (OR = 1,83; IC: 1,13 - 2,98; p = 0,01). Conclusão: Os fatores mais relacionados à satisfação profissional foram o preço da consulta e a prática especializada. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
