KAPADOKYA ÜNİVERSİTESİ MESLEK YÜKSEKOKULU ÖĞRENCİLERİNİN İŞ SAĞLIĞI VE GÜVENLİĞİ HAKKINDAKİ TUTUMLARININ BELİRLENMESİ

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the attitudes of vocational school students who go to hospital application on occupational health and safety. This descriptive study has been performed with 249 students in the Vocational School of a Cappadocia University between 24 September and 30 October 2019. "Question Form" created by the researchers through literature review have been used in the collection of data. Data has been analyzed using descriptive statistics, number, percentage, median, min, max, mean and standard deviation. The mean age of the participants is 20.22 ±21.45 years and 68.5 % (n=168) of them are female. 68.2% (n=167) of the students defined the work accident as "the accident occurred while the insured was at work". 37.8% (n = 91) of the students went to the occupational health and safety unit of the hospital when they had an occupational accident, 24.1% (n = 58) to the head of the unit they worked in the hospital, 20.3% (n = 49) 14.5% (n = 35) of the infection control nurse stated that they reported the internship to the responsible teacher. Although students receive education, they are exposed to occupational accidents and apply to different units when a work accident occurs. The students' knowledge on the definition and scope of occupational accidents is insufficient. Students should be informed more effectively by health institutions about occupational health, risks and unit orientation, and should be supported in the use of personal protective equipment.
