The Program for the Development of Nursing and Education in the Kyrgyz Republic for 2019-2023 sets out the task of improving the quality of medical care, the solution of which is impossible without human resources, in particular middle-level specialists. In order to determine the satisfaction of nursing specialists with professional activities, a selective sociological study of 232 secondary medical workers of the Central Medical Service and hospitals in Bishkek was carried out. Despite the low wages, the high workload of average medical workers has an interest in work, moral satisfaction, stability. Most secondary medical workers consider the team their family (65.0 ± 3.1). The main frequent causes of conflict situations in health organizations were the level of wages of average medical workers (15.9 ± 2.4), working conditions (11.6 ± 2.1), the distribution of functional duties (8.6 ± 1.8), and referrals to advanced training courses (6.8 ± 1.6). Most of the average medical workers of CSM (25.4 ± 2.8) and hospitals (26.7 ± 2.9) are confident of their proper due attention to employees and the work of departments. The leading reasons for the occurrence of conflict situations were payment for additional research methods (30.2 ± 3.0), inattentive attitude to patients (24.5 ± 2.8), inconvenient operating conditions (24.1 ± 2.8), poor sanitary and hygienic conditions in the organization of health care (22.8 ± 2.7), modern diagnostic equipment in healthcare organizations (21.1 ± 2.6). In most cases, average health workers know their rights (42.3 ± 3.2) and believe that they are most protected in rights than patients. To improve the quality of nursing care, they propose an increase in wages (90.9 ± 1.8) and an improvement in material and technical equipment (86.6 ± 2.2). It is necessary to strengthen the role of middle-level health workers according to modern requirements in the health system.
