Abstract:

 This study was conducted as a cross-sectional descriptive study in order to determine the perception levels of 82 laboratory workers working in A, B, C hospitals in Trabzon about biological risks within the scope of occupational health and safety. In the study, a total of 24 questions Occupational Biological Risk Perception in Laboratory Workers questionnaire prepared by the researchers was applied. SPSS 22 package program was used for data analysis, Mann Whitney U Test was used for pairwise comparisons and Kruskal Wallis Test was used for multiple group comparisons. In the study, it was determined that the participants occupational biological risk perception, general life anxiety levels, and future health problems related to working with biological agents were at moderate levels. In addition, it was understood that the awareness of the participants on occupational accidents and the use of personal protective equipment should be increased, and that more importance should be given to vaccination and occupational health and safety trainings in the workplace.

 Bu çalışma Trabzon ilinde A,B,C hastanelerinde görev alan 82 laboratuvar çalışanının iş sağlığı ve güvenliği kapsamında biyolojik riskler hakkında algı düzeylerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla kesitsel tanımlayıcı bir çalışma olarak yapılmıştır. Çalışmada araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan toplam 24 soruluk Laboratuvarı Çalışanlarında Mesleksel Biyolojik Risk Algısı anketi uygulanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde SPSS 22 paket programı kullanılmış, ikili karşılaştırmalarda Mann Whitney U Testi kullanılmıştır ve çoklu grup karşılaştırmalarında Kruskal Wallis Testi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada katılımcıların mesleki biyolojik risk algısı, genel yaşam kaygı düzeyleri ve biyolojik ajanlarla çalışmaya bağlı ileride sağlık problemi geçirme kaygı düzey puanlarının orta düzeyde olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca katılımcıların iş kazaları ve kişisel koruyucu donanım kullanımına ilişkin farkındalıklarının artması gerektiği, işyerinde aşılanma ve iş sağlığı ve güvenliği eğitimlerine daha fazla önem verilmesi gerektiği anlaşılmıştır.
