Abstract

Posljednja desetljeća donijela su velike tehnološke napretke koji su zajedno s
ubrzanom globalizacijom doveli do brojnih promjena na radnom mjestu. Promjenama
u zdravstvenom sektoru otklonjen je veći dio tradicionalnih opasnosti, međutim nove
su tehnologije dovele nove rizike za zdravlje zdravstvenih djelatnika.
Medicinske sestre čine najbrojniju skupinu zdravstvenih djelatnika, a zbog prirode svog
posla izložene su velikom broju potencijalno opasnih situacija i tvari. Profesija je
medicinskih sestara karakterizirana visokim osjećajem osobnog zadovoljstva i
postignuća, no dinamična radna okolina u kojoj sudjeluju različiti profili djelatnika te
visoko specijalizirana tehnologija, mogu predstavljati značajan rizik za njihovo zdravlje,
a zdrave su medicinske sestre neophodne za pružanje kvalitetne skrbi bolesnicima.
U ovom će se radu prikazati najvažnije kritične točke rizika od ozljeda medicinskih
sestara što uključuje različite stresore povezane s izravnom skrbi za bolesnika kao što
su ergonomski, biološki, kemijski, fizički i psihosocijalni rizici te gdje je to moguće,
predstavit će se intervencije koje su se pokazale kao učinkovite u smanjenju rizika od
bolesti i ozljeda, kao i nedostaci u dosadašnjoj praksi.
