Abstract
Inpatient Units is analyzed, with a new scale to measure nursing workloads validated. Objective: The
objective of this study was to relate nursing workloads to professional job satisfaction. Methods: This
is an observational, analytical, descriptive, concurrent and quantitative study, which used the Overall
Job Satisfaction scale and subscales therein, to identify global satisfaction—intrinsic or related to
motivational factors and extrinsic or associated with hygienic factors—in nursing professionals
(n = 104) from eight Inpatient Units of Internal Medicine and Surgery, in four hospital centers, to
describe job satisfaction in the professionals studied and to find statistically significant associations
between job satisfaction and workload (measured with the scale MIDENF®) in the inpatient units
where they work. Results: There were higher levels of satisfaction in the variables “relationship
with immediate boss” and “relationship with fellow workers”, and lower levels in “relationship with
senior management” and “organizational system of the unit”. In the inferential analysis, the scores
were 75.63 for overall satisfaction, 35.28 for intrinsic satisfaction, and 40.36 for extrinsic satisfaction.
Conclusions: There is a close relationship between workload and job satisfaction, showing more
dissatisfaction regarding organizational aspects and professional recognition.
