Abstract(s)
Existem muitos estudos em Portugal sobre a satisfação profissional em vários profissionais de saúde, no entanto especificamente em Fisioterapeutas isso não acontece. Em função do exposto, foram delineados como objetivos da investigação identificar se existem diferenças estatisticamente significativas na satisfação profissional entre fisioterapeutas que exercem em entidades com gestão pública comparativamente aos que exercem em entidades com gestão privada; e identificar se existem diferenças estatisticamente significativas na satisfação profissional em função dos seus dados sociodemográficos e em função dos seus dados profissionais. Delineou-se um estudo de carácter observacional e transversal, seguindo um modelo de análise descritivo-correlacional com uma abordagem quantitativa. Recorreu-se à aplicação de um questionário on-line a uma população-alvo de Fisioterapeutas, tendo sido selecionada a amostra pelo método de amostragem não probabilístico. Os dados foram recolhidos através de um questionário composto por dados sociodemográficos e profissionais e pela Escala de Satisfação com o Trabalho de Ribeiro (2002), validada para a população portuguesa. O tratamento estatístico dos dados foi efetuado utilizando o software estatístico SPSS versão 22.
Apesar da maioria da amostra exercer em entidades privadas [77,5% (n=100)], os fisioterapeutas que exercem em entidades públicas mostraram-se mais satisfeitos em termos de valores médios. Evidenciaram-se apenas diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre a satisfação com o trabalho e a variável carga horária semanal.
As principais limitações do estudo estão relacionadas com o método de divulgação do questionário e com a dimensão da amostra, nomeadamente na desigualdade entre o setor público e privado.
ABSTRACT - There are many studies in Portugal on the professional satisfaction of several health professionals. However, specifically with Physiotherapists, this does not happen. Based on the above, we have outlined as research objectives to identify whether there are statistically significant differences in professional satisfaction amongst Physiotherapists who exercise in publicly managed entities compared to those exercised in privately managed entities; and to identify whether there are statistically significant differences in professional satisfaction according to their sociodemographic data and according to their professional data. An observational and cross-sectional study was drawn up, following a descriptive-correlational analysis model with a quantitative approach. An online questionnaire was applied to a target population of Physiotherapists, and the sample was selected using the non-probabilistic sampling method. Data was collected through a questionnaire composed of sociodemographic and professional information and the Ribeiro Job Satisfaction Scale (2002), validated for the Portuguese population. Statistical treatment of the data was performed using statistical software SPSS version 22. Although most of the elements of the sample performed in private entities [77.5% (n = 100)], Physiotherapists working in public entities were more satisfied in terms of average values. There were only statistically significant differences between job satisfaction and the weekly workload variable. The main limitations of the study are related to the method of disclosure of the questionnaire and the size of the sample, namely in the inequalities between the public and private sectors.
