Abstract

Purpose
The aim of the study was to identify the influencing factors for job satisfaction among forensic psychiatric nurses.

Methods
A descriptive correlational study design was used. Participants were 90 forensic psychiatric nurses from a national forensic psychiatric institution. The collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation, and multiple regression analysis with SPSS statistics 23.0 program.

Results
Significant influencing factors for job satisfaction were administration (β=-.29, p<.001), role conflict as a profession (β=-.32, p=.004), conflict with the supervisor (β=-.34, p=.002), and psychological burnout (β=-.33, p=.004). These factors explained 57.0% of job satisfaction.

Conclusion
These findings indicate that strategies to reduce job stress and burnout should be developed to improve job satisfaction among forensic psychiatric nurses.
