Cross sectional study of Swiss nursing homes aimed to better understand factors associated with improved job satisfaction.

Teamwork, resident safety climate, resonate administrator, staffing, fewer conflicts, less burnout, and fewer physical problems are other factors identified with better job satisfaction.

The purpose of this study was to describe job satisfaction among care workers in Swiss nursing homes and to examine its associations with work environment factors, work stressors, and health issues.
