Job satisfaction among physicians and nurses involved in the management of multiple sclerosis: the role of happiness and meaning at work

Abstract: Objective Health professionals caring for persons with multiple sclerosis (MS) are faced with increasingly complex working conditions that can undermine their job satisfaction and the quality of their healthcare services.

“…Health professionals with high meaning in work may manage to tolerate frustrations occurring in their daily practice in the pursuit of a highly valued work-associated purpose. 49 Similarly, Tei et al 18 noted that medical professionals with an enhanced sense of meaning might recognize the greater purpose of their work, thus finding critical situations (eg, alleviating patients’ suffering) more fulfilling than distressing. Indeed, recent findings 49 lend support to the role of high meaning in work in compensating for the negative affective experiences among physicians and nurses working with multiple sclerosis.…”

“… 49 Similarly, Tei et al 18 noted that medical professionals with an enhanced sense of meaning might recognize the greater purpose of their work, thus finding critical situations (eg, alleviating patients’ suffering) more fulfilling than distressing. Indeed, recent findings 49 lend support to the role of high meaning in work in compensating for the negative affective experiences among physicians and nurses working with multiple sclerosis. In reference to the HCPs in this study, those practitioners with higher work meaning may view their treatment challenges as manageable, 4 thus minimizing the risk for burnout and secondary traumatic stress while reinforcing compassion satisfaction.…”

“…Interprofessional collaboration between physicians and nurses was associated with a positive impact on a number of patient outcomes in different disorders [ 31 ]. Relations between neurologists and nurses are critical to deal with a diverse RRMS treatment landscape in complex working conditions [ 2 , 32 ]. In our study, almost 80 percent of NPs felt their opinions based on a holistic assessment of MS patients had a significant influence on neurologists’ therapeutic decisions.…”

“…Upon expression of interest in participation, caregivers were invited to sign the informed consent form, and subsequently fill in a booklet containing the project questionnaires. A full description of the overall project and procedures is reported elsewhere (Bassi, Cilia, Falautano, Grobberio, Negri, et al, 2020; Bassi, Cilia, Falautano, Grobberio, Niccolai, et al, 2020; Negri et al, 2022).…”
