Abstract
Objective. To study life satisfaction and the impact of work on personal life among heads of clinical departments.
Materials and methods. A correspondence survey of 216 heads of clinical departments was conducted using standardized questionnaires with the calculation of the life satisfaction index and the indices of interaction between work and personal life. The average age of the respondents was 47.9 ± 8.08 years; the average length of service was 23.1 ± 8.60 years.
Results. The average life satisfaction index is 6.0 ± 0.951. There is a weak inverse correlation of the index with age r = –0.2; p = 0.004 and length of service r = –0.2; p = 0.001. The values of the life satisfaction index do not depend on gender (t = 0.23, p = 0.818), place of work (t = 0.14; p = 0.886), availability of qualification category (t = 0.36; p = 0.722), academic degree (t = 1.8; p = 0.073), second higher education (t = 1.67; p = 0.097), work in "red zone" (t˂0,001; p = 1,000). The average index of negative interference of work in personal life is 1.59 ± 0.474 and personal life in work is 1.04 ± 0.123, positive influence of work on personal life is 2.64 ± 0.897 and personal life on work is 3.35 ± 0.882. There is a significant difference in the index of negative interference of personal life in work by respondents of different sexes (t = 3.24; p = 0.001) who worked in hospitals (t = 3.14; p = 0.002) and in the "red zone" (t = –3.29; p = 0.01). There is a negative weak correlation between the life satisfaction index and the index of the positive impact of personal life on work (r = –0.34; p˂0,001) and work on personal life (r = –0.37; p˂0,001).
Conclusions. The life satisfaction index of department heads is high – 6.0 out of 7. However, a decrease in the ratings of the positive interaction of work and personal life with an increase in the satisfaction index dictates the need to continue research.
