Summary:
Introduction:
The extent to which health professionals understand and respect the
capabilities and limitations of each other defines the quality of their collaboration as
well as the health outcomes. This also affects at the same time factors such as
employee satisfaction and employee performance (Strype et al., 2014).
Interprofessional Collaboration in healthcare is about the way professionals of
different specialties communicate and decide about the patient's care according to
common knowledge, attitudes and competencies.(Barr et al., 2005).Work satisfaction
is a complicated group of attitudes against different facets of employment that derive
from one's expectations regarding employment as well as from their personal
experiences in the specific field (Locke, 1976; Spector, 1997). It is significantly
related to the psychological well-being of the employees as well as with the ongoing
and qualitative organisational functions(Tsounis & Sarafis, 2016).
Purpose:
The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of interprofessional
collaboration to the employee satisfaction of Doctors, Nurses and the rest of Medical
staff in the Organisation Against Drugs OKANA.
Methodology:
The sample of the study consisted of 97 individuals including doctors nurses
and the rest of medical stuff consisting of psychologists social workers and
sociologists in OKANA. The three part questionnaire included a cover letter
explaining the purpose of the study, the research details, the confidentiality
agreement, contact details and instructions for the respondents. Taking part in the
survey was voluntary and anonymous. Interprofessional collaboration scale (ICS)
was used for the assessment of interprofessional collaboration among employees and
evaluation of employees’ satisfaction was assessed through the Job Satisfaction
Survey (JSS). Statistical analysis was performed through SPSS 25.

Results:
At the level of interprofessional cooperation, both doctors and nurses and the
rest of staff of OKANA presented with a similar picture, without statistical difference
in the overall index of interoperability or the individual aspects. For all three
categories of employees the communication between them is the strongest sign of
cooperation with the second being the willingness to cooperate and lastly their
isolation from the team. The overall interoperability of employees seems to be
strongly influenced by two factors: their marital status and their previous service in
the organization while factors such as the training they have received and their salary
seem to affect only the communication sector.
In terms of job satisfaction, respondents based on the JSS questionnaire appear
to be presented with neutral levels of satisfaction, with the exception of physicians
who appear to be dissatisfied with their work at the Agency. In particular, physicians
seem to be dissatisfied with aspects of their work such as the possibility of
development / promotion, the privileges already been provided, the operating
conditions of the Organization but also any expected benefits. The nurses and the rest
of the staff show a corresponding dissatisfaction for their development, the privileges
they already enjoy and the expected benefits from their work, but the nurses
emphasize that they are not satisfied with their salary.
Finally, it seems that there is a positive, statistically significant correlation
between interdisciplinary cooperation and professional satisfaction in the employees
of OKANA that follows a linear model.
