Sažetak

Nurses and technicians are, at their primary job of patient care, exposed daily to various physical strains and stressful situations, which is why they are at risk of injury. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency, type and circumstances of work injuries among nurses and technicians as well as to determine whether there is a connection between the injuries and sociodemographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the participants, as well as the connection between the injuries and the stress level at which the participants are exposed during their work. This cross-sectional study was conducted in April 2017 and included 191 nurses/technicians at the General Hospital Pula. A specially designed questionnaire was used to collect data about their age, gender, qualifications and socioeconomic status as well as the frequency and type of injuries that they had been experienced during stressful situations at work. In the last six months, there were 8.9% of those who experienced work injury. The most common were abdominal injuries, lower back and pelvis injuries, while stabs with the sharp object were the most common type of injury. There was statistically significant connection between the incidence of injuries and the shift work (p=0.032) as well as between the injuries and the stress level (p=0.046) in the last six months. To reduce the incidence of work injury in the observed population, it is necessary to reduce the shift work, and consequently reduce level of present stress.
