Assessment of Life Satisfaction among Physiotherapists from Selected Hospitals in South-Western Nigeria

Background: Life satisfaction of an individual is strongly associated with factors such as income, educational status, family and occupation. There is a dearth of studies on job and life satisfaction for physiotherapists, especially in Nigeria.Objective: This study assessed life satisfaction for physiotherapists from selected hospitals in South-Western Nigeria.Methods: Seventy-six physiotherapists from seven purposively selected hospitals who met the inclusion criteria responded to the study. The Life Satisfaction Scale Questionnaire (LSSQ) was used as the research instrument. The LSSQ is a two-section questionnaire. Section A comprises 6 items designed to assess demographic information of the respondents while section B consists of 29 items, designed to measure the life satisfaction of the respondents. The questions on perceived level of satisfaction in different domains are on a 7-point scale ranging from 7 (strongly agree) to 1 (strongly disagree) for each question. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data.Results: The response rate of the study was 80%. The mean total life satisfaction of the respondents was 151 – 180. There was a significant difference in total life satisfaction scores at p < 0.001 between the single and married respondents, first degree and postgraduates and between entry physiotherapist and senior physiotherapist. There was a significant association between level of life satisfaction and level of education, at p < .05. There also was a significant association, p < 001, between the level of life satisfaction and age, marital status and cadre.Conclusion: Life satisfaction of clinical physiotherapists in South-Western Nigeria was high and is associated with marital status, postgraduate qualification and in a higher professional cadre. This implies that physiotherapists in South-Western Nigeria are in a condition that promotes high productivity and efficiency and therefore physiotherapists are more likely to not migrate out of the country.

The Relationship

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between academic motivation and educational satisfaction of biology teacher candidates who continue their education in higher education by considering different variables. In the research, scanning design was used within the scope of quantitative model to reveal the current situation. The study group of the study consists of 121 biology teacher candidates who continue their education in two different state universities in Ankara. In order to collect the data of the research, "Student Satisfaction Scale for Education and Training in Higher Education" and "Academic Motivation Scale" were used. According to the results obtained from the research; It was determined that the satisfaction and academic motivation of biology teacher candidates about education in higher education is above the middle level. When the gender sub-dimension of the research results was examined, it was found that the education satisfaction and academic motivation of the male teacher candidates were higher than the female teacher candidates. When the university variable of teacher candidates is examined, it can be said that there is a difference in terms of satisfaction, especially between equipment and laboratory and communication with academic and administrative staff and these situations affect the satisfaction of the candidates. When the class level sub-dimension of the study was examined, it was concluded that there was a significant difference between the satisfaction of 4th grade candidates and those of other classes. While 4th grade candidates show a medium level of satisfaction, candidates in the other class show a high level of satisfaction. It is noteworthy that the reason for this is related to belonging and guidance in the sub-dimension of the satisfaction scale. It is seen that the highest satisfaction among candidates is in the first year. According to the results of the research, the frequency of voluntary coming to the department of the second university teacher candidates is higher than the frequency of voluntary coming to the department of the candidates in the 1st university. These results support that the motivation levels of the candidates may differ due to internal motivation reasons. One of the results obtained from the study is to determine a positive and moderate relationship (r = 438) between the education satisfaction and academic motivation of biology teacher candidates. This situation shows that when the education-teaching satisfaction levels of biology teacher candidates are affected, the academic motivation of the candidate may be affected at a moderate level.

Descriptive Survey

The purpose of this study is to determine which and how often conflict management strategies are used in case of any conflict situations by school principals attending primary schools. This study aims to identify to what extent the school administrators use the strategies of integration, reconciliation, compromise, domination and avoidance when handling conflicts and whether there are differences based on factors including teacher’s gender, marital status, or whether they assume a role in management, or the rank of their position, their age, educational level and seniority. 300 teachers attending primary and middle schools in Kağıthane, Istanbul were administered the “Conflict Management Styles Survey” as part of the research which was conducted using the descriptive survey model. The results of the study showed that the school principles use the integration strategy the most; there is no significant difference in the opinions of teachers based on factors such as gender, marital status, management experience, or educational status; there is a significant difference in the feedback on integration and reconciliation strategies based on the factor of rank of position held; and there is a significant difference in the feedback from teachers about integration, avoidance and reconciliation strategies both based on the factor of age and factor of seniority.

Betimsel tarama modeli ile gerçekleştirilen bu araştırmada İstanbul ili Kağıthane ilçesindeki ilkokul ve ortaokullarda görev yapan 300 öğretmene “Çatışma Yönetim Stilleri Anketi” uygulanmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucunda okul müdürlerinin en çok tümleştirme stratejisini kullandıkları, cinsiyet, medeni durum, yöneticilik tecrübesi, eğitim durumu değişkenlerine göre öğretmenler görüşleri arasında anlamlı bir farklılığın olmadığı, görev yapılan kademe değişkenine göre tümleştirme ve uzlaşma stratejilerine ilişkin görüşlerde anlamlı farklılığın olduğu, hem yaş değişkenine hem de kıdem değişkenine göre tümleştirme, kaçınma ve uzlaşma stratejilerine ilişkin öğretmen görüşleri arasında anlamlı farklılığın olduğuna ulaşılmıştır.
