Sažetak | CILJ: Utvrditi prevalenciju bolesti štitnjače u medicinskih sestara u KBC Split.
ISPITANICI I METODE: Ispitanice su činile sve medicinske sestre u KBC Split koje su dobrovoljno pristale ispuniti upitnik u periodu od 01.10.2020. godine do 01.11.2020. godine, njih 356. Podatci su prikupljani posebno dizajniranim upitnikom za potrebe ovog diplomskoga rada.
REZULTATI: Prosječna dob ispitanica bila je 39 godina, a radnog staža 18 godina. Njih 64,61% ih radi ili je radilo u smjenskom radu. Većina ih je preopterećena na radnom mjestu, donekle zadovoljna svojim radnim mjestom, iako bi ih više od pola željelo promijeniti radno mjesto. Čak 74,44% ih smatra da je vrsta posla koji obavljaju imala utjecaja na pojavu osjećaja stresa na radnom mjestu, više od pola ih smatra da je smjenski rad i jutarnji rad s 24-satnim dežurstvom jedan od stresora na radnom mjestu. Skoro četvrtina ih ima članove obitelji koji boluju od bolesti štitnjače. Najučestaliji simptomi bolesti štitnjače prisutni u ispitanica bili su pospanost, ubrzan rad srca i pojačano znojenje, njih 32,87% bolovalo je od bolesti štitnjače. Uočena je povezanost bolesti štitnjače s životnom dobi, obrazovnim statusom i nezadovoljstvom na radnom mjestu, ali ne i s načinom rada (smjenskim radom). Najučestalije bolesti štitnjače bile su hipotireoza (40,17%), hipotireoza uzrokovana Hashimotovom bolesti (31,62%) i hipertireoza (10,26%). Čak 58,12% medicinskih sestara je smatralo da je njihovo radno mjesto tj. vrsta posla kojeg obavljaju imalo utjecaja na pojavu bolesti, njih 34,19% nije bilo sigurno, a njih 7,69% je smatralo da njihovo radno mjesto tj. vrsta posla kojeg obavljaju nije imalo utjecaja na pojavu bolesti.
ZAKLJUČAK: Nije utvrđena povezanost smjenskog rada medicinskih sestara s bolestima štitnjače, ali je uočena potreba edukacije medicinskih sestra o načinima nošenja sa stresom, štetnim učincima pušenja i dobrobitima prestanka pušenja te potreba o osvješćivanju važnost liječenja bolesti štitnjače. |
Sažetak (engleski) | OBJECTIVES: Determine the prevalence of thyroid disease in nurses at University Hospital Split.
PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS: The respondents consisted of all nurses in KBC Split who voluntarily agreed to fill in the questionnaire in the period from 01.10.2020. years until 01.11.2020. year, 356. The data were collected with a specially designed questionnaire for the purposes of this thesis.
RESULTS: The average age of the respondents was 39 years, and the length of service was 18 years. 64,61% of them work or have worked in shifts. Most of them are overworked, somewhat satisfied with their jobs, although more than half of them would like to change jobs. As many as 74.44% of them believe that their work has an impact on the occurrence of stress at work, more than half of them believe that shift work and morning work with a 24-hour duty is one of the stressors at work. Nearly a quarter of them have family members suffering from thyroid disease. The most common symptoms of thyroid disease present in the subjects were drowsiness, rapid heartbeat and increased sweating, 32.87% of them suffered from thyroid disease. The association of thyroid disease with age, educational status and job dissatisfaction was observed, but not with the way of working (shift work). The most common thyroid diseases were hypothyroidism (40.17%), hypothyroidism caused by Hashimoto’s disease (31.62%), and hyperthyroidism (10.26%). As many as 58.12% of nurses believe that their job has had an impact on the onset of the disease, 34.19% of them are unsure, and 7.69% of them believe that their job has not had an impact on the onset of the disease.
CONCLUSION: There is no connection between nurses' shift work and thyroid disease, but there is a need to educate nurses on how to deal with stress, the harmful effects of smoking and the benefits of smoking cessation, and the need to raise awareness of the importance of treating thyroid disease. |
