This study was conducted to examine the effect of healthcare workers’ levels of mental well-being on job satisfaction. The study included 395 healthcare workers from a total population of 2,650 healthcare personnel working in Sinop Province, Türkiye. Data were collected online using convenience sampling. The Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale Short Form and the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) were used as data collection instruments. Descriptive statistics, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and structural equation modelling (SEM) were used in the analysis of the data. The findings indicated that mental well-being had a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction (β=0.594; p&lt;0.001). The results demonstrate that improving the psychological well-being of healthcare workers may be an important strategy for enhancing job satisfaction.</p> Semih Sezgin Dilaver Tengilimoğlu Serdar Aydın Nuran Deniz Copyright (c) 21 1 https://journal.achsm.org.au/index.php/achsm/article/view/6462 <p><strong>Background:</strong> Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are a leading cause of death and morbidity in Bangladesh and are placing increasing pressure on the health system. The country has responded through national planning for NCD prevention and control and through efforts to strengthen primary health care.</p> <p><strong>Approach</strong><strong>:</strong> Bangladesh has adopted policy commitments for the prevention and control of NCDs, and the World Health Organization Package of Essential Noncommunicable Disease Interventions (WHO PEN) supports the delivery of essential chronic disease interventions in primary care settings. Drawing on the policy triangle framework and a structured comparison with WHO PEN, this commentary examines NCD Corners as a policy instrument for integrating chronic disease services into frontline public facilities.</p> <p><strong>Key messages:</strong> Policy content alone does not determine the success of NCD Corners. Context, actor relationships, and implementation processes determine whether the model moves beyond a nominal facility-level innovation to deliver effective chronic disease care.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> NCD Corner services should be more closely integrated within primary health care reform, with particular attention to workforce development, medicine availability, referral systems, digital interoperability, and independent evaluation.</p> <p>.</p> Mohammad Robed Amin Copyright (c) 21 1
