Bulgular: Hastanede Çalışan Sağlık Personeli için İş Güvenliği Ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması 126.72 (35.46) olarak bulunmuş olup, düşük düzeyde değerlendirilmiştir. En yüksek puanın “mesleki hastalıklar ve şikâyetler” alt boyutundan, en düşük puanın ise “fiziksel ortam uygunluğu” alt boyutundan alındığı saptanmıştır. Sağlık meslek lisesi mezunu olan, 16 yıl ve üzeri mesleki deneyimi olan, iş kazası ve meslek hastalığı geçirmeyen, kurumda iş sağlığı ve güvenliği komitesinin olduğunu belirten sağlık çalışanlarının iş güvenliği algısının anlamlı düzeyde yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir.
Sonuç: Sonuçlar, iş sağlığı ve güvenliğine ilişkin sağlık çalışanlarında farkındalıklarının oluşması, iş kazaları ve meslek hastalıklarının oluşumuna zemin hazırlayan nedenlerinin belirlenmesi ve önlemlerin alınması konusunda sağlık kurumlarının iş güvenliği konusundaki çalışmalarını arttırması gerekliliğini ortaya koymaktadır.

Öz

Objective: This descriptive and cross-sectional study aimed to determine the perceptions of healthcare professionals working in the operating room regarding occupational health and safety.
Methods: The study population consisted of 190 healthcare workers working in the operating room of a public hospital in Elazığ province, and the sample included 151 healthcare workers who voluntarily agreed to participate. Data was collected using the "Personal Information Form" and "Occupational Safety Scale for Healthcare Personnel Working in the Hospital".
Results: The mean total score of the Occupational Safety Scale for Healthcare Personnel Working in Hospitals was 126.72 (35.46) indicating a low level. The highest score was obtained from the "occupational diseases and complaints" subscale, while the lowest score was obtained from the "suitability of physical environment" subscale. It was found that healthcare workers who graduated from a health vocational high school, had 16 or more years of professional experience, did not experience occupational accidents or diseases, and reported that the presence of a health and safety committee in the institution had a significantly higher perception of occupational safety
Conclusion: The results suggest that health institutions should increase their efforts to raise awareness among healthcare workers about occupational health and safety. They should also determine the causes of occupational accidents and diseases and implement preventive measures.
