Abstract

Uvod: Pogoji dela v operacijski dvorani so zelo specifični, zato mora imeti operacijska medicinska sestra poleg strokovnega znanja tudi dobre psihofizične sposobnosti. Njeno delo je pretežno stoječe, pogosto v prisilni drži, dviguje težka bremena, posegi, pri katerih sodeluje, pa lahko trajajo več ur. Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti povezanost telesnih obremenitev z morebitnimi zdravstvenimi težavami (boleznimi in poškodbami gibalnega sistema) pri operacijskih medicinskih sestrah ter predlagati možne rešitve problemov in s tem povečati zadovoljstvo in zmanjšati tveganja za nastanek zdravstvenih težav. Metode: Uporabljena je bila kvantitativna raziskava, v katero smo zajeli 50 operacijskih medicinskih sester, ki delajo v operacijskem bloku Klinike za kirurgijo UKC Maribor. Za obdelavo podatkov smo uporabili deskriptivno statistiko, Pearsonov korelacijski test, t-test, χ2 in ANOVA. Rezultati: Pri operacijskih medicinskih sestrah se pri izvajanju delovnih nalog najpogosteje pojavljajo bolečine v hrbtenici, sledijo jim bolečine v rokah in ramenih. Anketiranci menijo, da so njihove zdravstvene težave posledica njihovega dela, zaradi zdravstvenih težav se jih je več kot polovica vsaj enkrat zdravila. Dejavniki, ki po njihovem mnenju bistveno zmanjšajo možnosti za nastanek obolenj in poškodb gibalnega sistema, pa so ohranjanje dobre telesne kondicije, zagotovitev primerne opreme za premeščanje in dvigovanje bolnikov ter oblikovanje delovnih prostorov in opreme, ki spodbujajo ergonomsko varnost. Sklep: Da bi delo v operacijski dvorani operacijske medicinske sestre čim manj fizično obremenjevalo, mora biti na razpolago dovolj ustrezne opreme in pripomočkov, ki jim omogoča čim manjši fizični napor pri opravljanju delovnih aktivnosti. Velik pomen ima tudi redno izobraževanje operacijskih medicinskih sester, izdelana morajo biti ustrezna navodila za delo, prav tako pa mora biti zagotovljena kontrola njihovega vedenja. Z upoštevanjem naštetih dejavnikov lahko ustvarimo bolj zdravo in varno delovno okolje.

Secondary title:	THE PHYSICAL LOAD OF SURGICAL NURSES
Secondary abstract:	Introduction: Working conditions in an operating room are very specific therefore the surgical nurses must not only have an appropriate technical expertise but must also have good psychophysical abilities. The work of the surgical nurse involves standing, specific postures, heavy lifting of patients and can span over a number of daily working hours. The aim of this research was to investigate if a physical load of surgical nurses leads to their health problems and to propose solutions that could increase their work satisfaction and reduce the risk for development of health problems. Methodology: This study used a quantitative research approach which involved 50 surgical nurses working in a surgical department at the Clinic for Surgery UKC Maribor. Statistical data analysis involved descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation test, t-test, χ2 and ANOVA. Results: Participating surgical nurses most frequently suffered from back pains, pains in their arms and in their shoulders. Participants believed that these pains were a consequence of their work. More than half of them required a medical treatment to address these problems at least once in their life. According to participants, several factors can reduce the chance of developing muscular-skeleton system related illnesses. These are: maintaining a healthy body mass, use of appropriate equipment and aids for lifting patients, and work conditions which foster ergonomic safety. Conclusion: Appropriate equipment and working aids can reduce physical load of surgical nurses. Thus, these aids and equipment should be made available in operating rooms. Continuing education of surgical nurses, appropriate work instructions and work monitoring also play a significant role in the reduction of surgical nurses’ physical load. These factors taken together can contribute to healthier and safer working environment of surgical nurses.
