Abstract
Objective: The study aimed to investigate the relationship between job satisfaction and professional self-esteem levels of family medicine practitioners working in Family Health Center.
Materials and Methods: Between April 2021 and April 2022, 128 family physicians who volunteered from 155 family physicians working in family health centres in Giresun province were included in the study. The socio-demographic descriptive form, the Minnesota Job Satisfaction and Occupational Self-Esteem Scales were administered face-to-face and online (via WhatsApp groups and e-mail communities).
Results: There was no significant relationship between job satisfaction and its sub-dimensions with age, gender, marital status, specialisation status, physical conditions of the Family Health Center, total years of practice and years of training in family medicine (p>0.05). The mean level of occupational self-esteem was 112.48. It was found to be significantly positively correlated with age, total years of practice, years of family medicine practice and average number of patients seen (p=0.05, p=0.004, p=0.004, p=0.004, p=0.009, respectively).
Conclusion: Professional self-esteem levels increase as professional age, total years of profession, and total years of working in family medicine increase.
