Occupational stress and risk factors in veterinary surgeons

Öz:

Bu çalışmada, veteriner hekimler arasında iş stresinin ve risk faktörlerinin incelenmesi amaçlandı. Kesitsel tipteki bu çalışma, 2012 yılında web-tabanlı anket aracılığı ile yapıldı. Ankete yanıt veren 223 bireyin verileri sunuldu. İş stresini değerlendirmek için “İsveç İş Yükü-Kontrol-Destek Anketi”nin Türkçe Sürümü kullanıldı. Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 37.45±9.11’di ve %28.3’ü kadındı. Katılımcıların iş yükü, iş kontrolü, beceri, karar serbestliği ve sosyal destek ortalama puanları ile standart sapmaları sırasıyla 9.42±1.86, 10.27±2.72, 7.06±1.78, 3.21±1.64 ve 11.26±3.94 olarak belirlendi. Kamuda çalışan hekimler arasında karar serbestliği ve sosyal destek düzeyleri özel sektörde çalışanlara göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde daha düşüktü. İş yükü, iş kontrolü ve beceri kullanımı yönünden iki grup arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark saptanmadı. Katılımcıların %54.3’ü araba kazası yaşadıklarını, %19.3’ü son bir yıl içinde kaza yaptıklarını ve %9.9’u kazaların hasta ziyareti sırasında olduğunu bildirdi. Çalışma grubumuzda yer alan veteriner hekimlerin çoğu iş stresi yaşadıklarını bildirdi. İş stresi ve işyeri ortam faktörleri, fiziksel, ruhsal ve sosyal sağlık sorunlarına yol açarak çalışanların iş sağlığını olumsuz yönde etkileyebilir. İş sağlığı ve güvenliği uygulamalarının henüz her meslek grubuna yansımadığı Türkiye gibi ülkelerde veteriner hekimler arasında iş stresi gibi mesleksel risklere karşı koruyucu, hizmet içi eğitimlerin yapılması yararlı olacaktır.

The aim of this study was to investigate occupational stress and risk factors among veterinary surgeons. The present cross- sectional study was performed in 2012 via a web-based survey. Data of 223 individuals who responded to the survey are presented. In order to evaluate the occupational stress Turkish Version of “Swedish Demand-Control-Support Questionnaire” was used. Mean age of participants was 37.45±9.11 and 28.3% of subjects were female. Work load, work control, skill, decision latitude, and social support mean points with standard deviations were found to be 9.42±1.86, 10.27±2.72, 7.06±1.78, 3.21±1.64 and 11.26±3.94, respectively. It was reported that 92 subjects were working for public institutions and 131 were working for private sector. Decision latitude and social support levels in surgeons working for public institutions were statistically significantly lower than their counterparts in the private sector. There was no statistically significant difference in work load, work control and skill use between two groups. Of participants 54.3% reported that they had car accidents, 19.3% reported that they had the accident in the last one year, and 9.9% reported that they had the accident during a patient visit. Majority of Turkish veterinary surgeons in our study group reported that they experienced occupational stress. Occupational stress and related factors in work environment can influence work health negatively by causing physical, mental and social problems.
