Job satisfaction and its demographic, occupational, and mental health determinants among community pharmacists

Optimising shift assignments and staffing to balance high patient engagement with manageable hours may enhance pharmacist retention and care quality.

Abstract

Mental-health symptom burden and most demographic factors are unrelated to satisfaction, whereas workload patterns, particularly shift timing and patient volume, exert significant influence. Optimising shift assignments and staffing to balance high patient engagement with manageable hours may enhance pharmacist retention and care quality.
