Journal Title: Gazi Üniversitesi Fen Bilimleri Dergisi Part C: Tasarım ve Teknoloji - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
In this study a semi-quantitative analysis was done in order to determine the views of workers who work in direct medical services related to health and safety hazards and risks in the workplace by receiving the opinions of those workers. Thus, appropriate suggestions with determined hazards and risks were evaluated. This research was performed from January to March 2015 in Ankara with 22 participants who were choosen by voluntary basis from the direct medical service units in a public hospital affiliated to Turkish Ministry of Health that has 227 health worker and 97 beds. Opinions were received by asking the questions that are in a semi structured interview form, which was developed by the author as a data collection tool, individually and face to face. . Descriptive analysis technique was used to analyze the data. The answers were evaluated in two ways: separately for each and totally. It was determined that the participants were aware of several hazards and risks in their units. Also in all the units violence and infection were described as risks that has the most heightened awareness and it was determined that most of the participants were suffered from musculoskeletal diseases.
