[Job satisfaction in primary health care nursing in the counties of Alt and Baix Empordà].
OBJECTIVE
To determine the labour satisfaction of primary care nursing professionals and find the related associated factors.


METHODS
Cross-sectional, descriptive, observation study.


METHODS
Primary care in the counties of the Alt and Baix Empordà.


METHODS
All those with nursing diplomas who work in the primary care centres of this geographical area (131 professionals).


RESULTS
A self-administered questionnaire had a 79.3% response rate. The instrument had 9 dimensions on work satisfaction. The statistical analysis employed univariate and bivariate descriptive techniques (p = 0.05). The general lack of satisfaction was medium (2.18 +/- 0.45). The dimension with the highest score was "professional competence" (1.72 +/- 0.44), and with the lowest was "professional promotion" (2.80 +/- 0.89). The greatest number of significant differences occurred between the two classes of primary care, reformed and unreformed.


CONCLUSIONS
The conditions in which professional nurses work in non-reformed primary care causes lack of satisfaction in their work post, in its content and in their professional promotion.
