Article Work-Related Musculoskeletal Pain in Hospital Employees(2024-05-16) Sertpoyraz, Filiz Meryem; Altaş, Elif Umay; Tanıgör, Göksel; Han, Esra; Esra, HanAim: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders are common health problems in the community. They lead to various levels of pain, loss of function, and deterioration in quality of life. Our aim is to evaluate work-related musculoskeletal pain in hospital employees and factors that could prevent this problem. Material and Method: Female and male hospital employees working in different departments of our hospital participated in the study. Demographic data, work and working environment, ergonomic training, and musculoskeletal pain were queried. The severity of pain in those experiencing it was assessed using the visual analog scale and the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire. Results: A total of 275 individuals participated in the study. 72.4% of the participants were female and 27.6% were male. 79.3% of the participants reported musculoskeletal pain. Pain was most commonly (71.3%) observed in the 35-54 age group and was of moderate severity. According to the frequency of pain, it was most common in the back (61.5%), followed by the lower back (55.6%) and neck (53.5%) regions. The presence and severity of pain were more pronounced in females (p<0.05). There was a statistically significant relationship between the presence of pain and female gender (p=0.003, r=0.179). Pain severity was higher in females (p<0.001, r=0.226). 69.8% of healthcare workers reported that ergonomic arrangements were not made in the hospital, and 81.4% reported not receiving training in ergonomics. Conclusion: Work-related musculoskeletal pain was highly prevalent among hospital healthcare workers, and it was found that healthcare workers did not receive ergonomic arrangements in their work environments or education on protecting the musculoskeletal system. Inference: We believe that making ergonomic adjustments in the work environments of hospital employees, providing education on musculoskeletal system protection, and integrating these into the quality system would be important.Article Adolescent Health Knowledge of Family Physicians(2023-10-06) Aygün, Olgu; Küçükerdem, Halime Seda; Gökdemir, ÖzdenBackground: There are certain life periods when physicians are more cautious with their patients. However, health needs are often disregarded throughout the adolescent era, even though it is a time when fast changes occur in many facets of life, including physical, psychological, cognitive, and social development. This study aimed to contribute to the improvement of adolescent health by measuring the degree of knowledge of family physicians (FPs) on adolescent health services. Material-Method: The was a descriptive-cross-sectional design study. A questionnaire was given to 2200 FPs by e-mail and 344 accepted to participate. The questionnaire had a 13% response rate. Results: Women made up 56.4% of the participants (n=194) and the average age of the participants was 38.77 years (SD: 10.08) (min: 25, max: 80). Two hundred fifteen (62.5%) of the FPs who participated in the survey, had encountered adolescent patients. A statistical correlation was found between having children and the idea that questions should be asked with one-word answers to the target to obtain answers in the adolescent age group (pArticle Türk Erişkin Nöroloji Uzmanlarında Tükenmişlik(Galenos Publ House, 2023-09-15) Uysal, Hasan Armagan; Keskin, Ahmet Onur; Güllüoğlu, Halil; Yildiz, Fatma Gokcem; Sarikaya, Fatma Gokcem YildizAmaç: Tıp doktorlarında tükenmişlik hasta bakımını veya klinisyenin fiziksel performansını kötü etkileyebilir. Çalışmamızda Türk nöroloji uzmanlarındaki tükenmişlik oranını ve tükenmişlikle ilişkili faktörleri araştırmayı amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya Türkiye’deki nöroloji uzmanları dahil edildi. Katılımcılardan çeşitli düşünce ve deneyimler ile ilişkili 33 sorudan oluşan bir anketi doldurmaları istendi. Katılımcılar sorulara şu şekilde cevap verdiler: Kesinlikle katılmıyorum, kısmen katılıyorum, katılıyorum, kuvvetle katılıyorum, kesinlikle katılıyorum. Sorunun anlamına göre (negatif veya pozitif), verilen cevap 1-5 arasında puanlandırıldı. Puanların toplamının maksimum (165) puana bölünmesiyle tükenmişlik oranı elde edildi. Bulgular: Ortalama yaş 38,78 (±8,42) yıl, kadın/erkek oranı 461/255 olarak bulundu. Ortalama tükenmişlik oranı %46,73 (±8,95) idi. Erkek cinsiyet, akademisyenlik, akademik derecenin yüksek olması, tıp fakültesi hastanesinde çalışmak, düşük maaş, bekar olmak, ebeveyn olmamak, nöbet tutmak, icapçı olmamak veya yoğun bakım ünitesinde çalışmak daha yüksek tükenmişlik oranı ile ilişkili bulundu. Tükenmişlik oranı, yaş, muayene edilen hasta sayısı ve çalışma saatleri ile pozitif, yardımcı sağlık personeli veya nörolog sayısı ile negatif korelasyon içindeydi. Sonuç: Bizim çalışmamız, Türk erişkin nöroloji uzmanlarından oluşan büyük bir örneklemde yüksek tükenmişlik oranını gösteren ilk çalışmadır. Erkek olmak, ileri yaş, akademisyen, profesör veya bekar olmak, ebeveyn olmamak, tıp fakültesi hastanesinde veya yoğun bakım ünitesinde çalışmak, düşük maaş, nöbet tutmak, yüksek hasta sayısı veya çalışma saati tükenmişlikle ilişkili görünmektedir.Article Violence at Healthcare(2020-01-20) Bhattacharya, Sudip; Gökdemir, ÖzdenViolence, a problematic phenomenon experienced in different forms (physical, verbal, symbolic, sexual,etc.), is increasingly prominent in sociological analysis. Violence is an unwanted aspect of everyday lifeexperience; it is common in traffic incidences, in the family, in the workplace, and in personal interactionsalmost everywhere. In recent years, women and health professionals (doctors and non-doctors) in particularhave been subjected to violence. Violence against women and children has become remarkablycommonplace. An increase in violence against physicians and healthcare professionals as part of this morehostile environment could be observed.Violence against doctors is now a global problem.The well-being ofhealth workers has been disrupted not only by the changing dynamics in doctor-patient relationships, butalso by the general environment of insecurity. All forms of violence must be condemned; not only healthcareworkers but also the decion makers have to deal with the issue of violence collectively and systematically.
