Abstract

UVOD: Uvjeti na radnom mjestu imaju velik utjecaj na radnu sposobnost pomoraca, bilo da se radi o odnosu s nadređenima, uvjetima rada ili opisu radnog mjesta. Mogućnost izvršavanja zadaća također je vrlo važan znak dobrobiti radnika. S obzirom da su pomorci izloženi velikom broju stresora na radnom mjestu, moguće je da su podložni razvijanju simptoma sindroma sagorijevanja na radnom mjestu. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je procijeniti utjecaj različitih psihosocijalnih čimbenika rizika na radnu... More sposobnost pomoraca. ----- METODE: Presječno istraživanje je provedeno na prigodnom uzorku pomoraca u Republici Hrvatskoj, od prosinca 2016. do veljače 2017. godine. Upitnici o sindromu sagorijevanja, razini stresa na radnom mjestu, indeksu radne sposobnost i o socio-demografskim podatcima podijeljeni su pomorcima prilikom redovitog pregleda u ordinacijama medicine rada u tri grada na Jadranskoj obali (Rijeci, Zadru i Splitu). U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 222 pomorca. Statistička analiza podataka provedena je u programu IBM SPSS Statistics, verzija 24. P vrijednosti manje od 0,05 smatrane su značajnima. ----- REZULTATI: Svi ispitanici su bili muškarci, prosječne starosti 43,11±11,39 godina. Trideset i osam pomoraca (17,1%) imalo je loš indeks radne sposobnosti (≤36), za koje je potrebno odmah primijeniti mjere za poboljšanje. Pritisci na radnom mjestu, premalo radno opterećenje, dosada te prepreke na radnom mjestu najjači su stresori za pomorce. Visoku razinu sindroma sagorijevanja imalo je oko 4% svih ispitanika, dok je 22,9% imalo početne simptome. Binarna logistička regresija pokazala je kako je viši stupanj sindroma sagorijevanja najvažniji prediktor loše radne sposobnosti (OR=11,3; CI 3,3-38,8; P<0,001), kontroliran za dob, razinu obrazovanja, radno mjesto, vrstu posla te ostale stresore na radnom mjestu. ----- ZAKLJUČAK: Ovim istraživanjem identificirana su četiri glavna stresora koja utječu na rad pomoraca: premalo radno opterećenje, dosada na radnom mjestu, pritisak izazvan vremenskim rokovima i prepreke na poslu. Rezultati ukazuju na potrebu osvještavanja važnosti mentalnog zdravlja kod pomoraca i potrebu uvođenja edukacije o načinima nošenja sa stresom. Less

Abstract (english)

INTRODUCTION: Work conditions have a great impact on the work ability of a seafarer, whether it is about relationship with superiors, working circumstances or job description. The ability to accomplish tasks is also a very important sign of worker’s wellbeing. As seafarers face a wide range of psychosocial stressors on board, they may be vulnerable to develop burnout syndrome. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of different psychosocial risk factors on seafarers’ work... More ability. ----- METHODS: A cross-sectional study was performed among 222 seafarers in Croatia from December 2016 until February 2017. Questionnaires regarding burnout, workplace stress levels, work ability index (WAI) and socio-demographic questions were administered to 222 seafarers in three different cities on the Adriatic coast (Rijeka, Zadar and Split). Statistical analysis was performed with IBM SPSS Statistics version 24 and all P values below 0.05 were considered as significant. ----- RESULTS: All included seafarers were men with an average age of 43.11±11.39 years. Thirty-eight seafarers (17.1%) had an unsatisfactory WAI score (≤36) with very high priorities regarding adequate preventive measures for work ability preservation. Pressure at work, uncertainty of work and boredom were the most prominent workplace stressors. Nearly 4% of all participants had a high burnout level and 22.9% had an initial stage. Binary logistic regression showed that higher burnout levels are most significant predictors of low work ability (OR=11.3; 95% CI: 3.3-38.8; P<0.001), controlled for age, education level, work tenure, job type and other workplace stressors. ----- CONCLUSION: This research identified four major stressors that affect seafarers' work: work underload stress, boredom induced stress, time pressure and job barrier stress. The results have shown that the prevention of burnout syndrome should be initiated as soon as possible to maintain adequate work ability and mental health of seafarers. Less
