Job Satisfaction at the Height of the Storm

Abstract

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has posed significant challenges to resident workflow and education. The impact of a pandemic on resident doctors has not been well characterized. The chapter unfolds the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on resident doctors' work satisfaction. A cross-sectional study was conducted through a manual survey of Indian resident doctors. Data were analyzed through relevant vector machine learning. Resident doctors display greater satisfaction with appreciation, accomplishment, meaningful development, supervision, and the conditions at work. Understanding the modifiable factors during the COVID-19 pandemic may help in formulating interventions to mitigate stress and improve work satisfaction among residents.
