The data were collected through an online questionnaire from February to March 2024. All the participants took a two-part questionnaire that asked about sociodemographic data and psychosocial factors using selected parts from short COPSOQ II. The study was approved by the Institutional Research Board of the Royal Commission health service program.
Results. In total, 80 participants were enrolled in this study, with a response rate of 79.2%. The result calculated the mean and standard deviation of participants and psychosocial factors. The highest mean score for work-related psychosocial factor was meaning of work. This is followed by social support from colleagues and supervisors, cognitive demand, rewards, and commitment to the workplace.
