In multiple regression analyses, job satisfaction score were significantly lower in subjects with fair (β=-3.53, p=0.003) or poor (β=-7.69, p=<0.001) self rated health and with longer duration of career (β=-3.53, p=0.025). With regard to rescue field related characteristics, witness of injury of co-workers (β=-3.02, p=0.022), obvious dead treatment (β=-3.60, p=0.011) and PTS (β=-4.21, p=0.013) were associated with lower job satisfaction.
