During the period of the study, 137 employees were reached out of 463 personnel working in the study area, and data were obtained with the help of a questionnaire developed by the researcher in accordance with the purpose of the study. Within the scope of the study, the personnel working in the polyclinics, nurses, midwives, and health officers working in the relevant units were reached. It was determined that the participants reached within the scope of the study were predominantly women, their education level (76.6%) was predominantly at least a bachelor&#039;s degree, and about half of them had 4-10 years of experience. As a result of the analyses made, it was concluded that the participants knew the ergonomic working conditions, albeit partially. Participants stated that the equipment they will use in their working areas is sufficient. While the participants positively agree with the adequacy of the cleanliness of the work areas, they agree negatively on the spatial and volumetric sufficiency of the work area. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the participants were satisfied with the use of the computer desk/desk, study chair and material cupboards they used.</p></abstract>
