The external satisfaction points of the group over 45 when compared to that of the group under 34 and those of other health professionals when compared to nurses were found to be statistically higher. It was found that job stress points of women were higher compared to males, those of the graduates of secondary education, undergraduates and graduates were higher than those of postgraduates, and the job stress points of the nurses were higher than those of doctors and other health professionals. There is a meaningful negative correlation between job satisfaction and job stress.
