Abstract

This study aimed to assess the level of knowledge of occupational risk factors among senior students of the Department of Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT) in medical vocational high schools (MVHS) and of the Paramedic Program in health care services vocational schools. The students are expected to start careers in 112 emergency health care ambulances after graduation. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in a total of six MVHSs (n=138) and two universities (n=34) in the vicinity of Izmir, which have EMT departments and paramedic departments, respectively. The data were collected using two structured forms filled out by participants during an hour of class. Occupational risk factors were divided into four groups: physical/ergonomic, biological, environmental, and psychological. Results Of the student population, 88.9% (n=153) was reached. The majority of the participants were women (85.6%, n=131). Of the participants, 91.5% (n=140) indicated that they were satisfied with their professions; 72.6% did not exercise sufficiently; and 85.6% were not smokers. The mean score for level of knowledge among paramedic and EMT students combined was 5.75±0.79. When the two groups were compared, both the mean total score and the mean knowledge score were significantly higher among the students studying in the paramedics programs (p

Özet

Bu çalışmada, 112 Acil sağlık hizmetleri ambulanslarında görev yapması beklenen Sağlık Meslek Lisesi (SML) Acil Tıbbi Teknisyen (ATT) Bölümü ve Sağlık Hizmetleri Meslek Yüksekokulu (SHMYO) Paramedik Programı son sınıf öğrencilerinin mesleksel risk etmenleri ile ilgili bilgi düzeyleri değerlendirildi. Gereç ve Yöntem İzmir ili içerisinde bulunan ATT bölümü olan toplam altı SML (n=138) ve paramedik programı bulunan iki üniversite de (n=34) kesitsel bir çalışma yürütüldü. Veri iki ayrı form ile toplandı: Kişisel bilgi formu ve mesleksel risk etmenleri bilgi düzeyini değerlendirmek amacıyla geliştirilen mesleksel risk etmenleri bilgi düzeyi formu. Veri toplama okulda bir ders saati ayrılarak, katılımcılar tarafından doldurulmuştur. Mesleksel risk etmenleri fiziksel/ergonomik, biyolojik, çevresel ve psikolojik riskler olarak gruplanmıştır. Bulgular Çalışma evreninin %88.9una (n=153) ulaşıldı. Katılımcıların %85.6sı (n=131) kadındı. Katılımcıların %91.5i (n=140) seçmiş oldukları meslekten memnundurlar. Bireylerin %72.6sının yeterli bedensel etkinlik yapmadığı ve %85.6sının sigara kullanmadığı bulundu. Paramedik ve ATTlerin mesleksel risk etmenleri bilgi puan düzeyi 10 üzerinden ortalama 5.75±0.79 olarak bulundu. Her iki grubun risk etmenleri bilgi düzeyi karşılaştırıldığında, paramedik programı öğrencilerinin bilgi düzeyi anlamlı olarak yüksek bulundu (p
