Six additional demographic questions were added to the questionnaire. The questionnaire was published online in the fall of 2021 and a sample of 370 Health Visitors from all over Greece was collected.

The survey showed that 51.4% worked in Attica and most of the participants in the survey work in the public sector (86.8%). Also, 66.2% of the sample hold a basic degree. In terms of job satisfaction, Health Visitors expressed 50.3% uncertainty regarding job satisfaction. The dimensions where more satisfaction appears are the supervision by manager, the relationship with colleagues, the object of their job and the communication. However, the dimensions where dissatisfaction occurs concern the salaries, the possibility of promotion and the addi
tional benefits that the participants receive.
Conclusions: Health Visitors are neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with their job. Mainly the feeling of dissatisfaction concerns the possibility of development in professional and financial level. However, the object of job appeared to show high satisfaction rates. Finally, there was a relationship between job satisfaction and individual dimensions with all demographics, except gender.

However, although the level of education seemed to be related to some dimensions, it did not show a significant correlation with job satisfaction.
