Abstract

Sürdürülebilir kalkınma, bugünün kaynaklarının gelecek nesillerin ihtiyaçları göz önünde bulundurularak verimli bir şekilde kullanılmasıdır. Sürdürülebilir kalkınmanın ekonomik, toplumsal ve çevresel boyutları sağlık kavramıyla yakından ilişkilidir. İnsan sağlığı çevresel sürdürülebilirliğe bağlıdır. Bu araştırmada sağlık çalışanlarının sürdürülebilir kalkınma konusundaki farkındalık düzeylerinin tespit edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada betimsel tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın evrenini İstanbul’da yer alan bir üniversite hastanesinde görev yapan toplam 955 çalışan oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada örneklem seçilmemiş ve evrenin tamamına ulaşılması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma evrenin %36’sını temsil eden 344 katılımcı ile tamamlanmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak kişisel bilgi formu ile Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Farkındalık Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistiklerden ve Epi Info 7 istatistik programından faydalanılmıştır. İstatistiksel değerlendirmede anlamlılık düzeyi p<0,05 olarak kabul edilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde One Sample T testi, One-Way ANOVA, One-Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov, farklılığın kaynağına bakmak için Tukey post hoc ve Spearman korelasyon testleri kullanılmıştır. Ölçeğin genel güvenirlik katsayısı Cronbach α; 0,944 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda sağlık çalışanlarının toplumsal sürdürülebilirlik farkındalık düzeylerinin ekonomik ve çevresel sürdürülebilirliğe nazaran daha yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur. Çalışmada eğitim durumu ve gelir düzeyi yükseldikçe ekonomik, çevresel ve toplumsal sürdürülebilirlik farkındalık düzeylerinin de yükseldiği tespit edilmiştir. Sürdürülebilir kalkınma farkındalığı en yüksek meslek gruplarının hekim, idari personel, hemşire ve ebeler olduğu görülmüştür. Çalışma yılı arttıkça sürdürülebilir kalkınma farkındalık düzeylerinin de arttığı tespit edilmiştir. Sağlık çalışanlarının sürdürülebilir kalkınma farkındalığını artırmak amacıyla sektörler arası iş birliğine dayanan çalışmaların yapılması önemlidir.

Evaluation of Sustainable Development Awareness Levels of Health Sector Workers: University Hospital Example

Abstract

Sustainable development is the efficient use of today's resources, taking into account the needs of future generations. The economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development are closely related to health. Human health depends on environmental sustainability. In this study, it was aimed to determine the awareness levels of health workers on sustainable development. Descriptive survey model was used in the study. The universe of the study consisted of 955 employees working in a university hospital in Istanbul. The sample was not selected for the study, which aimed to reach the entire universe. The study was completed with 344 participants, representing 36% of the population. A personal information form and the Sustainable Development Awareness Scale were used as data collection tools. Descriptive statistics and the Epi Info 7 statistics program were used in the analysis of the data. The level of significance was accepted as p<0.05 in the statistical evaluation. One-sample T test, One-Way ANOVA, One-Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Tukey post hoc, and Spearman correlation tests were used to analyze the data. The general reliability coefficient of the scale was Cronbach α; it was calculated as 0.944. It was found that the social sustainability awareness levels of health workers were higher than economic and environmental sustainability. It was determined that the level of awareness of economic, environmental, and social sustainability increased as the educational status and income level increased. In the study, it was observed that the occupational groups with the highest awareness of sustainable development are physicians, administrative staff, nurses, and midwives. It has been determined that as the working year increases, the level of awareness of sustainable development increases. It is important to carry out studies based on intersectoral cooperation in order to increase awareness of sustainable development among health workers.
