Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Primary Care Medicine

Context:

  • Study conducted in 93 primary care centers within the province of Barcelona, Spain.
  • Involved 603 General Practitioners (GPs).

  • A transversal observational study using validated questionnaires (Font Roja-9 for satisfaction, Maslach Burnout Inventory for burnout) administered via interviews.
  • Global job satisfaction score was 3.02 (on a 1-5 scale), with an 18% non-response rate.
  • Higher satisfaction correlated with fewer years in practice, involvement in training centers, and willingness to participate; lower satisfaction linked to higher emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, and lower personal accomplishment.
