Uvod: Novi tip korona virusa otkriven je u prosincu 2019. u Wuhanu u Kini. Prvi slučajevi bili su povezani s tržnicom životinja u Wuhanu. Svjetska zdravstvena organizacija proglasila je ovo globalnom pandemijom 12. ožujka 2020. godine. S obzirom da u početku nije postojalo cjepivo za navedenu zaraznu bolest, prevencija se odnosila na primjenu standardnih mjera opreza i tradicionalnih javnozdravstvenih mjera kao što su izolacije, karantene, socijalne distance, čiji je cilj bio spriječiti lokalnu transmisiju, tj. prijenos bolesti s zaražene osobe na zdravu. Cilj: Cilj istraživanja bio je ispitati jesu li zdravstveni radnici koristili osobnu zaštitnu opremu racionalno i pravilno poštujući smjernice Svjetske zdravstvene organizacije. Na koji način su bili educirani o pravilnom načinu korištenja osobne zaštitne opreme. U kojoj mjeri je zaštitna oprema i reorganizacija poslova otežala rad zdravstvenih radnika. Metode: Istraživanjem je obuhvaćeno 374 ispitanika koji rade u zdravstvenom sustavu na području Republike Hrvatske. Korištene su deskriptivne i inferencijalne metode statističke analize. Rezultati: Većina ispitanika smatra da je zaštitna oprema otežala način rada i izvođenje specifičnih postupaka te je kvaliteta rada narušena. Komunikacija s bolesnikom lošija je nego prije obaveze korištenja osobne zaštitne opreme. Većina zdravstvenih radnika je imala osigurane uvjete za pravilno korištenje opreme i držali su se preporuka Svjetske zdravstvene organizacije. Edukacija kod zdravstvenih radnika je provedena od strane ustanove ili samostalno ali ne u zadovoljavajućoj mjeri. Zaključak: Od pojave COVID-19 do danas se radilo na tome da se poveća proizvodnja i distribucije osobne zaštitne opreme u globalnom lancu nabave diljem svijeta. Osobna zaštitna oprema ima veliku ulogu u zaštiti radnika i u sprječavanju daljnjeg širenja bolesti. Iz tog razloga svaki zdravstveni radnik mora biti adekvatno educiran o načinu primjene zaštitne opreme te mu ona mora biti uvijek dostupna kako bi mogao raditi po pravilima struke. Ipak, globalne nestašice zaštitne opreme koje utječu na sigurnost zdravstvenih djelatnika i održivost pružanja osnovne zdravstvene skrbi su i dalje prisutne. Introduction: A new type of coronavirus was discovered in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. Initial cases were related to the animal market in Wuhan. The World Health Organization declared this a global pandemic on March 12, 2020. Since initially there was no vaccine for this infectious disease, prevention was related to the application of standard precautions and traditional public health measures such as isolation, quarantine, social distance, aimed at preventing local transmission and transmission of the disease from an infected person. to healthy. Objective: The aim of the study was to examine whether healthcare professionals used personal protective equipment rationally and correctly following the guidelines of the World Health Organization. Furthermore, how they were educated about the proper use of personal protective equipment, and the extent to which protective equipment and the reorganization of work made the work of health workers more difficult. Methods: The research included 374 respondents who work in the health system in the Republic of Croatia. Descriptive and inferential methods of statistical analysis were used. Results: Most respondents believe that protective equipment has made it difficult to work and perform specific procedures, and the quality of work is impaired. Communication with the patient is worse than before the obligation to use personal protective equipment. Most health workers had secured conditions for the proper use of the equipment and adhered to the recommendations of the World Health Organization. Education of health workers was conducted by the institution or independently but not to a satisfactory extent. Conclusion: Since the advent of COVID-19 to date, efforts have been made to increase the production and distribution of personal protective equipment in the global supply chain worldwide. Personal protective equipment plays a major role in protecting workers and preventing the further spread of the disease. For this reason, every healthcare worker must be adequately educated on how to use protective equipment and it must always be available to him so that he can work according to the rules of the profession. Nevertheless, global shortages of protective equipment that affect the safety of health professionals and the sustainability of basic health care provision are still present. |
