Abstract

Tarım sektörü, yaşamın devamı için gıda üretimi ve sanayi sektörüne hammadde sağlama açısından öncelikli sektördür. Tarımda çalışan kavramı, kendi tarımsal üretim alanında çalışanları, işverenleri/çiftlik sahiplerini, ücretli sürekli çalışanları, mevsimlik çalışanları ve birlikte yaşamaları/çalışmaları nedeniyle ailenin tüm bireylerini içermektedir. Araştırmalar tarım çalışanlarında; sağlıksız su, atıklar gibi çevresel tehlikeler, tarım alet ve makineleri, pestisitler, hayvanlara ilişkin faktörler, hizmete erişememe, ergonomik tehlikeler ve psikososyal stresler yanı sıra, ekonomik krizler ve küresel iklim değişikliğine bağlı depresyon başta olmak üzere ruhsal bozukluk sıklığının arttığını göstermektedir. Hasat döneminde kötü hava koşulları, sel ve kuraklığa bağlı beklenen ürünün alınamaması, makinelerin bozulması, hayvanların hastalanması, teşviklerin zamanında ve yeterli düzeyde ödenememesi, çalışanların finansman yönetimi ile yeni teknolojiler konusunda bilgi ve bilinç düzeyinin düşüklüğü, hizmetlere erişememe, fiziksel sağlık sorunları, sıcak stresi, tarımla ilgili yasaları bilmeme, tatil günlerinin olmayışı, uzun çalışma saatleri, çiftlik alanlarının büyümesi, azalan çiftçi sayısına karşı artan üretim talebi ile kaza ve yaralanmaların önemli işle ilgili stres kaynakları olduğu bilinmektedir. Tarımda çalışanların işle ilgili ruhsal bozukluklarının önlenmesi için, risk değerlendirme ve yönetiminin fiziksel, kimyasal ve psikososyal tehlikeleri içerecek şekilde, hak temelli bir yaklaşımla sosyal korumayı da (sosyal güvenlik, sosyal yardımlar ve sosyal hizmetler) kapsayacak şekilde yapılmasının yararlı olacağı düşünülmektedir.
