Bu çalışmada, Türkiye'de insan sağlığı hizmetlerinde çalışan kadın personeller arasında iş kazaları ve meslek hastalıklarının görülme sıklığı ele alınmış ve kesitsel tanımlayıcı bir araştırma olarak tasarlanmıştır. Çalışmada, Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Sosyal Güvenlik Kurumu'nun 2013-2020 yıllarını kapsayan verileri analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma bulguları, kadın sağlık çalışanlarının erkek meslektaşlarına kıyasla daha fazla iş kazası ve meslek hastalığı vakası yaşadığını göstermektedir. Bununla birlikte, erkek sağlık çalışanları iş kazalarından kaynaklanan daha yüksek bir ölüm oranı sergilemektedir. Günümüzde, çeşitli sektörlerde çalışan kadınlar arasında işle ilgili kazalar ve ölümlerin yanı sıra meslek hastalıklarında da bir düşüş yaşanmıştır. Ancak, kadın sağlık çalışanları arasında işle ilgili kaza ve ölümlerin yanı sıra meslek hastalıklarında da kayda değer bir artış olmuştur.

An Assessment of Occupational Accidents and Diseases Among Female Healthcare Personnel in Human Health Services

Öz

This study was designed as a cross-sectional descriptive investigation with the objective of referencing previous research by disclosing the incidence of occupational accidents and occupational diseases among female personnel employed in human health services in Turkey. The study analyzed data from the Social Security Institution of the Republic of Turkey spanning the years 2013 to 2020. The research findings indicate that female healthcare workers experience a greater incidence of occupational accidents and illnesses compared to their male counterparts. Nevertheless, male healthcare workers exhibit a higher mortality rate resulting from work-related accidents. In contemporary times, there has been a decline in work-related accidents and fatalities, as well as occupational illnesses, among women employed in various industries. However, there has been a notable rise in work-related accidents and fatalities, as well as occupational illnesses, among female healthcare professionals.
