Abstract
Abstract:Occupational health and safety in the health sector has gained more importance over recent years. Education and work in hospitals that are involved in the 'very dangerous workplaces' class are valuable in supporting prevention of workplace accidents and occupational diseases. The aim of the study is to determine knowledge status of non-physician health personnel, to receive their opinions about their work and working environment, and to evaluate the occupational health and safety education within the context of the "Occupational Health and Safety".The study was conducted with non-physician employees in a university hospital. It was considered sufficient to reach 80% of the employees without using any sampling method. A questionnaire form was prepared as a data collection tool. Before the training, the questionnaire and the 'Occupational Safety Scale for Hospital Health Care Personnel' were completed. Interactive training was provided by the researchers later on. After the training was completed, a final test was conducted with 26 questions in the preliminary test. Descriptive statistics and tests appropriate for distribution of the variables were used to analyze the data. The limit value for significance was accepted as p <0.05.61.7% of the participants were nurses and 38.3% were other hospital employees. 74.7% of the participants stated that there were laws to transport and raise patients in the hospital. The mean Health Safety Scale score was 134.4 ± 34.3 for the hospital health care staff. There was a significant difference between the participants who stated that the use of masks and gloves was necessary before and after training (p <0,05). Before training, knowing the replacement was the lowest percent before the education by 19.6%, and the most known was definition of occupational safety by 92.1%. Knowing the definition of occupational occupational safety after training was found as 96.4%, while knowing what to do in the case of an electrical installation with highest percentage of 97.0%, and knowing the meaning of replacement was the least known by 40.5%. Information on occupational health and safety after the training was higher than before the training (p <0,05).The score on the occupational safety scale is not high. Although the general information on the occupational health and safety of employees is not very low with the support of previous training, the knowledge point of the last training was higher than before the training. This once again reinforced the importance of making periodic trainings. Keywords: Occupational Health and Safety, Hospital, Education.
