Introduction COVID-19 pandemic has a lot of impact on health care workers (1,6,9). Research shows that during the coronavirus outbreak people working in hospitals experience stress, anxiety, depression, and insomnia (9). Subsequently, medical staff is experiencing medium levels of perceived stress at the time of outbreak (1,6). Moreover, non-adaptive emotion regulation strategies may be a risk factor for burnout among medical staff (5). At the same time cognitive emotion regulation strategies may reduce that risk (2). Even though medical workers are satisfied with their job overall, research shows that they are not happy with their pay (11). Aim Aim of the study is to evaluate hospital workers’ job satisfaction, perceived stress, used methods of emotion regulation, and to assess the relationships between those phenomena. Methods The cross-sectional study has been held from July 5 to August 20, 2021 in Šakiai Hospital, Lithuania. In total, 121 staff members’ forms were included in the analysis. All Šakiai Hospital staff, who agreed to participate, were selected to the research. 8,3% of them were medical doctors, 24% was nursing staff, 9,9% was junior medical staff, 4,9% - management staff, 16,5% - technical staff and 36,4 did not mark their position. Statistical analysis was made using MS Excel and IBM SPSS Statistics 21. Stress level has been measured using Perceived Stress Scale (3). For emotion regulation evaluation, Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (4) has been used. Job satisfaction was assessed using 4 subscales (Pay, Supervision, Operating conditions, Coworkers) of Job Satisfaction Survey (8). ANOVA test was used to compare means of job satisfaction and emotion regulation among different work positions. For associations among all phenomena, Pearson (r) and Spearman (rho) correlation was used. […].
