Abstract

Professional satisfaction is a key issue for nurses worldwide. It is necessary to have a good knowledge not only of the main characteristics of professional satisfaction and motivation for work of nurses, but also of the role of various socio-psychological and socio-economic factors influencing the formation and maintenance of satisfaction and motivation. A survey was conducted among 80 nurses working at the Center for Comprehensive Services for Children with Disabilities and Chronic Diseases (CCSCDCD), through a questionnaire. The results show that 57% of respondents are satisfied with the organization of work and assess it as the most important factor. With 73% they define the good psychoclimate as a factor favorable to the working environment, as well as with 47% they note their satisfaction with the good material and technical base. These results highlight the need to maintain favorable factors for working conditions, because only a professional satisfied with his work is motivated to stay to work for a long time with children with disabilities.
