“…In agreement with this study, in the study by Basaber et al [33], it was also found that there was a moderate level of job satisfaction among emergency medical staffs. However, in the above study, job satisfaction is closely related to gender and it is not in line with the findings of this study.…”

“…In the study by Sonems et al [ 34 ], the overall level of job satisfaction of emergency physicians was rated as high, which is inconsistent with the results of this study. It should be noted that pre-hospital emergency has led to the creation of special conditions for this staffs due to special environmental conditions, time constraints, road traffic, the openness of the workspace, and the expectations of the companions [ 33 ] that it can be said that job satisfaction impacted by these factors, so we see the difference in the results of the two studies. Although the samples of this study are different from those in the Sonmez et al study.…”

Background Pre-hospital emergency staffs as the frontline forces fighting against COVID -19 have been affected by this pandemic. Today, the occupational and mental health of these individuals is particularly important to the health care system. Death anxiety is one of the inevitable things in this job, and not paying attention to it can cause unwanted effects such as changing the level of job satisfaction of the personnel. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of predictive death anxiety in the job satisfaction of pre-hospital emergency personnel during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among pre-hospital emergency staffs in Qazvin Province, Iran in 2021–2022. Among the bases chosen by the census method, 198 samples were included in the study by the available method. Data collection tools included the Demographic Checklist, Templer's Death Anxiety scale, and the Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire. The data were analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics and SPSS 20 software. Results The mean age of the samples was (33.14 ± 6.77). 167 persons were male and the others were female. The average job satisfaction and death anxiety of the personnel were 55.07 ± 11.50 and 8.18 ± 1.96, respectively. Pearson's correlation coefficient between the two variables was r = -0.126 And a null correlation coefficient hypothesis has been confirmed with p-value = 0.077. Conclusions The results showed a high level of death anxiety and average job satisfaction. Although these two variables do not have a significant relationship with each other, considering that they do not have the appropriate level, it needs more investigation and consideration.

“…The results of one study showed that the motivation of nurses in Iran is moderate-to-high [38], which is somewhat inconsistent with the results of the present study. The results of one study showed that the level of job satisfaction in pre-hospital EMS nurses is higher than the average [39], while in another study the level of job satisfaction in pre-hospital EMS personnel was low [40]. Although job satisfaction was not exactly considered in the present study, the participants have expressed their discomfort of being in EMS as one of the challenges, which it can somehow reveal the job dissatisfaction of these people.…”

Background: Study about cardiopulmonary resuscitation in pre-hospital setting in Iran is limited. In present study we explored the challenges of the organizational structure and the human resources in pre-hospital emergency medical systems for cardiopulmonary resuscitation.Methods: This qualitative study was conducted using the content analysis approach. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews in 2020 until saturation was achieved. Sixteen people with the work experience at geographical bases were selected purposefully. Data were analyzed based on the Graneheim and Lundman’s approach. The main questions in this part included: What has been your experience with cardiopulmonary resuscitation? What were the challenges you experienced in cardiopulmonary resuscitation? Please explain more about the challenges of organizational structure and human resources?Results: By analyzing the data, the information was placed in two main categories 1) “the challenges of human resources” includes four sub categories (lack of experience and skills, intrapersonal challenges, non-targeted performance, and weakness in education as the existing challenges) and 2) “the challenges of organizational structure” includes three sub categories (improper structure and access, lack of organizational support, and shortages of the facilities and the equipment as the existing challenges).Conclusions: Results revealed that pre-hospital emergency medical systems personnel face various problems, challenges and limitations in cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Therefore, the ability of these personnel to manage these challenges should be increased through the opportunity to acquire clinical knowledge and skills in order to improve patient-centered services.

“…The research results taking into account gender are not consistent both in terms of job satisfaction and burnout ( 28 ). The study conducted by Basabr et al showed a negative and significant relationship between gender and job satisfaction, but the comparison concerned men in pre-hospital emergency services and women in hospital settings ( 29 ). A study conducted by van der Ploeg et al ( 30 ) showed that factors such as lack of social support from colleagues and superiors, as well as poor communication, turned out to be significant predictors of low job satisfaction, post-traumatic stress disorder, symptoms of burnout and fatigue ( 31 ).…”

IntroductionJob satisfaction, based on professional and non-professional factors and individual characteristics of employees, is an important element influencing both the quality of care provided and employee turnover.Material and methodThe study included 137 paramedics employed in field teams and hospital emergency departments. The Job Satisfaction Scale (SSP), the Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ), the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES), and the Three Dimensional Strength of Group Identification Scale (TSIG) were used to collect the data.ResultsThe average job satisfaction score measured with SSP in the studied group of paramedics was 24.50 and the average job satisfaction score measured with MSQ was 74.16. The average value of the group identification in the study sample was 61.15. Of the three subscales, the highest scores were obtained in the affect toward the group subscale −22.44, and the lowest in the cognitive centrality subscale −18.78. The analysis showed that job satisfaction positively correlated with social identification (r = 0.43) and the ingroup ties (r = 0.43), cognitive centrality (r = 0.34) and ingroup affect (r = 0.37).ConclusionsThe studied group of paramedics showed moderate job satisfaction (measured with SSP) and work engagement, with a simultaneous high level of job satisfaction (measured with MSQ) and social identification with the professional group. Social identification of studied paramedics varied depending on gender. Women showed higher levels of cognitive centrality, which might mean that they might have had greater need to categorize themselves as paramedics.
