Anestezi Hekimlerinin Mesleki Risk Farkındalıkları: Anket Çalışması

Amaç: Anestezi hekimleri çalışma koşulları gereği sağlıklarını olumsuz etkileyebilecek birçok mesleki tehlike ve risk faktörlerine maruz kalmaktadır. Anestezi hekimlerinin mesleki riskleri konusundaki farkındalıklarını ve çalışan güvenliğini günlük pratiğinde ne kadar benimsediğini belirleyebilmek amacı ile bu anket çalışmasını planlandık. Yöntem: Eğitim ve araştırma hastanelerinde anesteziyoloji ve reanimasyon kliniklerinde çalışan gönüllü asistan ve uzman hekimlerin, soruları yüz yüze iletişim (basılı anket formlarının dağıtılıp doldurulması) yöntemiyle yanıtladığı anket formları ile araştırma verileri toplandı. Doğru yanıtlar tüm doktorlar arasında kıyaslanırken, tecrübenin doğru yanıtla ilişkisini değerlendirilmesi amacıyla asistan (Grup I) ve uzman (Grup II) doktorlar arasında da kıyaslama yapıldı. Bulgular: Anketimizin sonucunda, asistan ve uzman doktorların tümünün anket sorularına doğru yanıt verme oranı %41.6 (n=70)’dır. 12 sorudan 5’ine %50 ve üstü doğru yanıt verilmiştir. Gruplar arası kıyaslama yapıldığında asistan doktorlar yalnızca 2 soruya uzman doktorlara göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı doğru yanıt verirken, uzman doktorlar 12 sorunun 6’sına asistan doktor grubuna göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı doğru yanıt vermişlerdir. Çalışmaya katılan doktorların %43.2’sinin İş Güvenliği Eğitimi (İSG) aldığı belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Anketimizde anestezi hekimlerimizin mesleki risklerini bilmedikleri, iş güvenliği bilincinin yeterli düzeyde olmadığı gözlendi. Bu eksiklikleri gidermek için düzenli eğitim programları ile farkındalık kazanmalı ve güvenli koşullarda çalışmayı, mesleki kültür olarak benimsemeleri gerekmektedir.

Occupational Risk Awareness of Anesthesiologists: A Survey Study

Objective: Anesthesiologists are exposed to many occupational hazards and risk factors that may adversely affect their health due to their working conditions. We planned this survey study in order to determine the awareness of anesthesiologists about their occupational risks and how much they have adopted employee safety in their daily practice. Method: The research data was collected through questionnaire forms, which were answered by face-to-face communication (distributing and filling out the printed questionnaires) with volunteer residents and anesthesiologists working in Anesthesiology and Reanimation Clinics in Education and Research Hospitals. While, correct answers were compared among all the doctors, in order to evaluate the relationship between correct answers and experience, another comparison was also made between the residents (Group I) and anesthesiologists (Group II). Results: As a result of our survey, 41.6% (n = 70) of all residents and specialists responded correctly to the survey questions, while 5 out of 12 questions were correctly answered at a rate of ≥ 50%. When comparing between the groups, the residents answered only two questions statistically significantly correct when compared to the specialists whereas, specialist doctors answered 6 of the 12 questions statistically significantly correct when compared to the resident group. Conclusion: In our questionnaire, it was observed that our anesthesiologists don’t know their vocational risks and the their occupational safety awareness level is not sufficient. Awareness should be raised with regular training programs in order to overcome these shortcomings and working under safe conditions should be adopted as a professional culture.
