Workload perception and job satisfaction among Lebanese practicing dietitians: A cross-sectional study by employment location

Lebanese dietitians reported slight overall job satisfaction, higher among those aged 31-40 years, with 16-20 years of experience, higher education, greater income. Dietitians practicing in Lebanon and abroad reported higher satisfaction across several facets than those practicing in Lebanon only. Perceived workload was slightly high, with no significant difference in total workload by employment location, although differences emerged across specific workload dimensions. This highlights the need for strategies addressing workload management, early-career mentorship, and stress management to support dietitians' career satisfaction.
