CILJ: Istraživanja je pružiti uvid u pojavnost i specifičnost nasilja s kojim se susreću medicinske sestre i tehničari na svom radnom mjestu tijekom obavljanja djelatnosti.
ISPITANICI I METODE: U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 201 medicinskih sestara i tehničara zaposlenih u Općoj bolnici Varaždin. Instrument istraživanja je samostalno konstruiran anonimni anketni upitnik zatvorenog tipa i jednim pitanjem otvorenog tipa. Anketni upitnik sastojao se od dva dijela sa ukupno 37 pitanja. Istraživanje je provedeno od svibnja do lipnja 2024. godine putem ispisanih anketnih upitnika distribuiranih na bolničke odjele. Dobivena je odluka o suglasnosti od strane Etičkog povjerenstva Opće bolnice Varaždin.
REZULTATI: 80,4% medicinskih sestara i tehničara bilo je izloženo nasilju u nekom trenutku svoje karijere. Najveći udio ispitanika koji je doživio nasilje je srednje stručne spreme 47,4%. 38,8% ispitanika u dobi od 18-30 godina je doživjelo nasilje. Radna mjesta s najvišom stopom nasilja su kirurški odjeli 21,1%, interni odjeli 19,1%, odjeli psihijatrije 11,2% i hitni bolnički prijem 9,2%. Medicinske sestre i tehničari u najvećoj mjeri su izloženi psihičkom nasilju 94,1%, fizičkom nasilju 60,5% i seksualnom nasilju 19,7%. Medicinske sestre u sva tri oblika nasilja su više izložene nasilju naspram svojih muških kolega. U najvećom mjeri nasilje nad medicinskim sestara i tehničarima provodili su pacijenti 82,9% i obitelj/pratnja pacijenata 57,2%. Jednu od značajnih posljedica nakon doživljenog nasilja koju su prijavile medicinske sestre i tehničari je povećani stres 46,2%, promjene raspoloženja 23,1% i poremećaji spavanja 15,8%. Doživljeno nasilje ostavilo je utjecaj i na radnom mjestu u vidu smanjenog zadovoljstva poslom 38,2% i izgaranja na radnom mjestu 26,6%.
ZAKLJUČAK: Nasilje na radnom mjestu prisutno je u velikoj mjeri te predstavlja ozbiljan problem jer dovodi do niza štetnih posljedica kako na medicinske sestre i tehničare tako i na kvalitetu pružene skrbi pacijentima. |
