care. Without job satisfaction, every activity which is done for patients is not attractive. Furthermore icreates a conflict between the health care personnel and patient relatives. Especially nurses are front

descriptive results were presented with frequency distribution tables, graphs and its association were
analyzed by binary logistic regression model along with the significant value of (p<0.05) each
independent variable.
Result: out of 129 participants, 111 were actively give response with response rate of 86.03%. From
those respondents 44 (39.6%) [95% CI: 29.8, 50.2] of emergency professionals had good job
satisfaction with overall mean satisfaction of 71.7207 (SD±22.98) [95% CI: 67.7337, 75.7033]. Being
academician 49.5% more likely [AOR = 56.24: 95% CI: (4.220-749.474)], autonomously perform theiwork [AOR =33.12 (1.701, 645.22)]. , good relation and friendship communication with staff [AOR=

Conclusion and Recommendation: overall job satisfaction of emergency nurse professionals is below

work, having good relation and friendship communication with staff and good role performance were
the determinant factors that enhance job satisfaction. I recommend ministry of health to amend the
working system of emergency professionals.
