Abstract: Job satisfaction among Nurses was identified as an important factor and a key to achieving the Sustainable Goals in sub-Saharan Africa. It is therefore paramount to understand what motivates Nurses and to what extent they are satisfied with the organizations they work for and other contextual variables, this study therefore sought to provide information to fill in the gaps about job satisfaction among health professionals specifically Nurses in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. A descriptive cross sectional design was adopted to explore the level of job satisfaction and organizational commitment among Nurses who were randomly selected from the twelve departments in the University of Port-Harcourt Teaching Hospital. The study revealed that more than half (51%) of the respondents were satisfied with their jobs however, low pay, poor working conditions and low motivation were the principal causes of dissatisfaction. The management of the hospital should gear efforts towards correcting these lapses in order to achieve its organizational goal.

Abstract: In Niger, palliative care is a necessity in everyday medical practice. However, the setting up of structures and / or mobile teams specifically dedicated to palliative medicine still faces enormous challenges. Most patients who consult for non-communicable disease or specifically for tumors or other incurable illnesses as some neurological diseases come advanced stages, requiring palliative care whereas there is as yet no national structure specifically dedicated to palliative care. No domain of research in palliative care is developed in Niger. No specific scientific work on palliative care have been conducted and published in Niger. This testifies to the lack of promotion of this specialty in Niger. So the ignorance of palliative care, access to morphine and ordinary molecules fight against pain are a real obstacle to the practice of palliative medicine in Sakoira Integrated Health Center (Tillabéri) in republic of Niger.
