Šuligoj, Tjaša (author), Thaler, Darja (mentor), Korošec, Bojana (comentor)

Uvod: Zdravstvena nega je bila ena izmed prvih disciplin, ki je začela delovati v izmenskem delu takoj po izumu umetne svetlobe. Vedno večja potreba po kakovosti in zadovoljevanju potreb pacientov vodi zdravstvene delavce do izgorelosti in odhajanja iz poklica. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je oceniti vpliv izmenskega dela na počutje zdravstvenih delavcev. Metode dela: Diplomsko delo je nastalo z deskriptivno metodo pregleda literature. Literatura je bila iskana med majem in junijem 2019 na podatkovnih bazah MEDLINE, CINAHL, Google Učenjak in Cochrane ter iskalnikih PubMed, DiKUL in COBISS z iskalnimi besedami izmensko delo, zaspanost, zdravstvena nega in počutje. Uporabljenih je bilo 36 enot literature. Rezultati: Izmensko delo, natrpan urnik in hitro menjavanje izmen vplivajo na zdravstvene delavce, da se vračajo domov utrujeni, izgoreli in nezadovoljni s svojim delom. Vpliv stresa, pomanjkanja spanja, mentalnega zdravja in počutja na zdravstvene delavce se zaradi pomanjkanja počitka začnejo kazati tudi na telesu človeka, ki se lahko zaradi nepravilnega lajšanja težav prelevijo v kronične bolezni. Zdravstveni delavci zaradi nezdravega načina življenja, kajenja, nezdrave prehrane in premalo gibanja večkrat tožijo o veliki utrujenosti, zaspanosti, bolečinah v hrbtnem predelu in nogah, težavah v gastrointestinalnem sistemu in kardiovaskularnih boleznih. Zaradi prevelikega stresa na delovnem mestu in skrhanih odnosov v zasebnem življenju se pojavlja vedno več tesnobnosti in depresije. Velik pomen in pozornost je treba nameniti spodbujanju k dobrim odnosom na delu in doma ter zagotavljanju primernih pogojev za počitek in regeneracijo zdravstvenih delavcev. Razprava in zaključek: Zdravstveni delavci med izmenskim delom skrbijo za paciente in njihove potrebe ter tako večkrat pozabijo na lastne potrebe, ki jih telo od njih zahteva. Neugodni pogoji dela, počitka in regeneracije lahko stanje utrujenosti in zaspanosti zdravstvenih delavcev samo še poslabšajo. K boljšemu počutju zdravstvenih delavcev bi lahko marsikaj prispeval vsak posameznik z zdravim načinom življenja, veliko vlogo ima tudi management zdravstva, da v oblikovanje zdravstvene nege in dela vključi tudi potrebe zdravstvenega delavca.

• Title: Impact of shift work on wellbeing of health care worker : diploma work

Abstract

Introduction: Nursing was one of the first disciplines that began working in shifts as soon as the artificial light was invented. Always growing need for better quality and pleasing the patients’ needs is leading health care workers to burnout and leaving the profession. Purpose: The purpose of the diploma work is to evaluate the effect of shift work on wellbeing of health care workers. Methods: Diploma work was made with descriptive method of literature review. Literature was found between May and June 2019 on data bases: MEDLINE, CINAHL, Google Scholar and Cochrane and search engines PubMed, DiKUL and COBISS with searching word: shift work, sleepiness, nursing and wellbeing. There were 36 units of literature used. Results: Shift work, packed schedule and rapid shift changes effect health care workers, so they come home exhausted, burnout and unhappy with their work. The effects of stress, sleep deprivation, mental health and wellbeing on health care workers start to show themselves on the human body because of the lack of rest. These problems can due to wrong ways of relief turn themselves into chronic diseases. Health care workers often complain about big fatigue, sleepiness, pain in the back and legs, problems in gastrointestinal tract and cardiovascular diseases because of unhealthy lifestyle, smoking, unhealthy food and lack of movement. Because of too much stress in the work place and aggravating relations in private life, the incidence of depression and anxiety is also growing. Good relationships at work, at home and providing suitable conditions for rest and regeneration of health care workers, need a lot of attention and value. Discussion and conclusion: Health care workers take care for their patients and their needs on their work shift. Because of this, they often forget about their own needs that their bodies demand. Unfit conditions for work, rest and regeneration can worsen the state of fatigue and sleepiness of the health care worker. Every individual health care worker can contribute for better state of wellbeing by improving their healthy lifestyle, but more can be done by management with designing work and nursing that includes health care workers’ needs.
