The tasks and functions of the occupational medicine service are essential segments in the system that strives to ensure a safe working environment, reduce risks and damage at work, and protect the health of employees. Occupational medicine includes activities focused on the workplace, the worker and his health, as well as information and education activities. In Croatia, health at the workplace is still mostly seen as an area that only occupational medicine doctors deal with. Unlike practice in Europe, the role of nurses in occupational medicine in Croatia is not yet sufficiently present due to the lack of defined frameworks for the work of nurses in occupational medicine. The aim of this research is to examine the opinions of nursing students of the University of the North about occupational medicine nurses in Croatia. Their views on the impact of occupational medicine nurses on the working population, as well as on the activities and methods of action of these nurses, will be investigated. Also, students' opinions on the need for additional education before assuming the position of occupational medicine nurse will be investigated. The research participants were nursing students of the University of the North (n = 203). The research was conducted through an online survey questionnaire "Opinions and attitudes of nursing students of the University North about occupational medicine nurses" and was used to collect data that was prepared for the purpose of conducting this research. The survey was conducted in the period from April 25 to May 25, 2024. The research shows that nursing students at the University of the North recognize the key role of nurses in occupational medicine in preserving the health and safety of workers, but emphasize the shortcomings in their education and continuous professional development in Croatia.
