Comparación de los honorarios y el nivel de satisfacción entre los miembros de la Asociación Argentina de Cirugía de Hombro y Codo, y los colegas de Iberoamérica. Rev. Asoc. Argent. Ortop. Traumatol. [online]. 2022, vol.87, n.4, pp.540-558. ISSN 1852-7434.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.15417/issn.1852-7434.2022.87.4.1593.

An adequate level of job satisfaction of the members of a health team is essential to guarantee the quality of the services provided, generate personal commitment, stimulate the desire to update, and promote retention within the system. We have not found any publication that specifically addresses this issue in the field of Orthopedics and Traumatology in our setting. The objective of this study is to know how the specialists who belong to the Argentine Association of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery perceive their working conditions, what their remuneration is and their degree of satisfaction, and to compare them with equivalents from other Ibero-American countries. The results of the survey showed low average levels of satisfaction in the Argentine professionals surveyed. There are statistically significant differences with professionals from other Ibero-American countries both in terms of remuneration and wellbeing indices. If there are no profound changes in the healthcare system, the remuneration and the working conditions, sooner or later consequences will appear that will affect not only professionals but also patients and the system in general.

Keywords : Survey; shoulder; elbow; job satisfaction.
