Mentalno zdravlje medicinskih sestara i tehničara od iznimne je važnosti jer značajno utječe na njihovo osobno i profesionalno djelovanje, a samim time i na kvalitetu pružene skrbi pacijentima. Zahtjevna priroda zanimanja izlaže ih većem riziku razvoja negativnih emocionalnih stanja poput depresije, anksioznosti i stresa. Učestalost problema povezanih s mentalnim zdravljem kod zdravstvenih djelatnika veća je u odnosu na opću populaciju. Cilj: Cilj rada bio je ispitati izraženost negativnih emocionalnih stanja (depresivnosti, anksioznosti i stresa) kod medicinskih sestara i tehničara, te utjecaj sociodemografskih varijabli i varijabli vezanih uz posao na izraženost emocionalnih stanja. Metode: Istraživanje je provedeno u Kliničkom bolničkom centru Sestre milosrdnice. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 254 ispitanika. Provedeno je u razdoblju od prosinca 2019. do siječnja 2020. godine. Kao instrument istraživanja korišten je anonimni anketni upitnik, izrađen isključivo za potrebe ovog istraživanja, te validirana Skala depresivnosti, anksioznosti i stresa-DASS-21. Rezultati: Najveći broj ispitanika ne pokazuje simptome depresivnosti, anksioznosti i stresa, dok većina ispitanika sa prisutnim simptomima iskazuje blage do umjerene simptome. Ozbiljnu i ekstremno ozbiljnu razinu simptoma iskazuje najmanji broj ispitanika. Učestalosti simptoma depresije, anksioznosti i stresa iznose 30,2%, 34,9% i 30,8%. Dokazana je statistički značajna razlika u prisutnosti simptoma anksioznosti i stresa s obzirom na kliniku u kojoj ispitanici rade, te u prisutnosti simptoma anksioznosti s obzirom na radno mjesto ispitanika. Najviše simptoma anksioznosti i stresa pokazuju ispitanici sa kardiologije, kirurgije i objedinjenog hitnog bolničkog prijema, radno mjesto sa najviše ispitanika sa simptoma anksioznosti je operacijska sala. Nije dokazana značajna razlika u prisutnosti simptoma depresivnosti, anksioznosti i stresa s obzirom na spol, dob, stupanj obrazovanja, godine radnog staža i radno vrijeme ispitanika.
Zaključak: Iako najveći broj ispitanika ne iskazuje simptome, učestalost simptoma depresivnosti, anksioznosti i stresa koja je prisutna kod više od četvrtine ispitanika relativno je visoka. Istraživanje je ukazalo kako su medicinske sestre i tehničari na nekim radnim mjestima češće izloženi stresnim situacijama. Stoga je potrebno ukazati na važnost očuvanja mentalnog zdravlja.
Abstract (english) Introduction: Nurses play an important role in the healthcare system. The mental health of nurses is of the utmost importance as it significantly affects their personal and professional performance and therefore the quality of care provided to patients. Demanding nature of their occupation puts them at greater risk of developing negative emotional states such as depression, anxiety and stress. The incidence of mental health problems among health professionals is higher than in the general population.
Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the expression of negative emotional states (depression, anxiety and stress) in nurses, as well as the impact of sociodemographic and job-related variables on the expression of emotional states.
Methods: The study was conducted at the Sestre milosrdnice Universitiy Hospital Center. The study involved 254 subjects. It was implemented from December 2019 to January 2020. Anonymous survey questionnaire, created solely for the purposes of this research, and validated Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale -DASS-21 were used as reasearch instruments.
Results: The majority of subjects did not show symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress, while most of the subjects with present symptoms showed mild to moderate symptoms. A serious and extremely serious level of symptoms was indicated by the smallest number of subjects. The incidence of symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress were 30.2%, 34.9% and 30.8%. There was a statistically significant difference in the presence of anxiety and stress symptoms in regard to the clinic in which the respondents work, and in the presence of anxiety symptoms in regard to the workplace of the respondents. The most anxiety and stress symptoms were reported by subjects that work in cardiology, surgery, and hospital emergency department, and the most-anxious workplace was the operating room. No significant difference was found in the presence of symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress in regard to gender, age, educational level, years of service and working hours of the respondents.
Conclusion: Although the majority of subjects does not show any symptoms, the incidence of depression, anxiety, and stress that is present in more than a quarter of respondents is relatively high. The study found that some workplaces expose nurses to more stressful situations. Therefore, it is necessary to emphasize the importance of maintaining mental health.
