Résumé
The global shortage of midwives and their job performance can significantly affect the quality of care for mothers, newborns, and their families. This study aimed to determine the status of job satisfaction and psychosocial factors and their relationships with the job performance of midwives in Tabriz City, Iran. Cross-sectional study. Urban health centres and public and private hospitals in Tabriz, Iran. A total of 575 midwives were included in this study using census sampling from November 2022 to January 2023. Inclusion criteria were midwives with at least B.Sc. degrees and 6 months of work experience while midwives with a history of depression were excluded from the study. The occupational-social-demographic characteristics questionnaire, Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire and Woman-Centred Care Scale Midwife Self-Report were used to collect data. The Pearson correlation test was used to investigate the relationship between job satisfaction and psychosocial factors in midwives' job performance. In multivariate analysis, the general linear model (GLM) adjusting for occupational-social-demographic characteristics was also used. According to the Pearson correlation test, there was a significantly direct correlation between job satisfaction (r=0.21, p<0.001) and psychosocial factors (r=0.23, p<0.001) with job performance. Also, as suggested by the GLM, midwives' job performance increases as job satisfaction (β=0.05, 95% CI 0.01 to 0.11, p=0.044) and psychosocial factors (β=0.13, 95% CI 0.04 to 0.23, p=0.007) increase. There was a direct relationship between midwives' job satisfaction and psychosocial factors and their job performance.
