WORKPLACE STRESS AMONG NURSES

UVOD: Stres je stanje individue koje utječe na funkcioniranje čovjeka u svakodnevnom životu, i kao krajnju posljedicu može imati razne somatske tegobe i psihosomatska oboljenja. Stres na radnom mjestu ubraja se u profesionalni i oslikava se nizom tjelesnih simptoma poznatim kao sindrom sagorijevanja na poslu. METODE I ISPITANICI: U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 80 medicinskih sestara i tehničara Opće bolnice Gospić koji su ispunili Sociodemografski upitnik i Upitnik Stres na radnom mjestu bolničkih zdravstvenih djelatnika. CILJ: Cilj ovog istraživanja je ispitati razinu stresa medicinskih sestara i tehničara na radnom mjestu i usporediti s rezultatima dosadašnjih istraživanja te ispitati razlike u razini stresa obzirom na dob, spol, razinu obrazovanja, vrstu odjela , godine radnog staža i radno mjesto. REZULTATI: Ispitanici mlađi od 40 godina doživljavaju statistički značajno više ukupnog stresa ( t=2,07; p=0,042 ). Također ispitanici sa manje od deset godina radnog staža doživljavaju statistički značajnu ukupnu razinu stresa ( F=3,53; p=0,034 ). S obzirom na odjel na kojem rade ispitanici se značajno razlikuju u razini stresa jedino u domeni opasnosti i štetnosti na poslu ( F=2,6; P= ,033). S obzirom na radno mjesto ispitanici se značajno razlikuju u ukupnoj razini stresa ( F=3,02; p=0,045 ) te u domeni javna kritika i sudske tužbe ( F=4,28; p=0,017), opasnosti i štetnosti na poslu ( F=7,42; p=0,001 ) i smjenskom radu ( F=9,66; P=0,000 ) Možemo zaključiti da je stres prisutan u svakodnevnom radu medicinskih sestara i tehničara.INTRODUCTION: Stress is an individual's condition that affects the functioning of a person in everyday life, and as a lasting result may have different consenquences, such as various somatic problems and psychosomatic illnesses. Workplace stress is considered a professional kind of stress and is illustrated by a series of physical symptoms known as work-burning syndrome. METHODS AND EXAMINERS: In research there were 80 nurses and technicians of the General Hospital of Gospić included, who fulfilled the Sociodemographic Questionnaire and Stress Questionnaire at the workplace of hospital healthcare workers. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine the level of stress of nurses and technicians in the workplace and compare them with the results of previous research and examine differences in the level of stress in terms of age, gender, level of education, type of department, years of work experience and workplace. RESULTS: Subjects under the age of 40 experience statistically significantly more total stress (t = 2.07; p = 0.042). Also, respondents with less than 10 years of work experience experience statistically significant total stress levels (F = 3.53, p = 0.034). Given the department in which the respondents work, they differ significantly in the level of stress only in the domain of dangers and hazards at work (F = 2.6, P =, 033). In terms of workplace, respondents differ significantly in overall stress (F = 3.02; p = 0.045) and in the domain of public criticism and lawsuits (F = 4.28, p = 0.017), dangers and hazards at work ( F = 7.42, p = 0.001) and shift work (F = 9.66, P = 0.000) We can conclude that stress is present in the daily work of nurses and technicians
