Employees in nursing, irrespective of their employment position, are exposed to injuries, especially back pain, leading to absence from work. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey at the University Rehabilitation Institute in Ljubljana in September 2014. We surveyed all the nurses. Results: The study involved 71 nurses, which represents a 75 % response rate. The estimated internal consistency of the instrument was 0.83. The majority of the respondents were between 31 and 40 years old. The most frequent educational level was high school (69 %). Nearly all (96 %) of the respondents reported that they had already experienced pain after a day at work. The pain was first experienced after 6 to 10 years of working in the nursing profession. The majority of the respondents (78 %) believe that their problems are related to the nature of their work. One third of the respondents have taken sick leave from work due to the presence of pain; the leave lasted for 14 days on average. As many as 96 % of the respondents use nursing devices in their work; 52 % believe that these devices are always available. Conclusion: The presence of work-related injuries and the related absenteeism are high in the setting where the survey was carried out. The hospital management should consider what measures could be introduced in order to reduce the incidence of work-related injuries. It would also be worth exploring the scope of devices for facilitating the moving of patientsIzhodišče: Delovno okolje zdravstvene nege je zelo zahtevno. Zaposleni v zdravstveni negi so ne glede na mesto zaposlitve izpostavljeni poškodbam, predvsem bolečinam v hrbtenici, kar vodi v odsotnost z dela. Metode: Na URI - Soča smo z anketo zadnji teden v septembru leta 2014 izvedli presečno raziskavo. Anketirali smo vse zaposlene v zdravstveni negi. Rezultati: V raziskavi je sodelovalo 71 zaposlenih v zdravstveni negi, kar predstavlja 75-odstoten odziv anketirancev. Ocenjena zanesljivost instrumenta z vidika notranje skladnosti je znašala 0,83. Najpogosteje zastopana starostna skupina je bila med 31 in 40 let. Med anketiranci jih je bilo največ s končano srednješolsko izobrazbo (69 %). Kar 96 % anketirancev je izjavilo, da so se jim po končanem delu v službi že pojavile bolečine na različnih delih telesa. Prvič so se jim bolečine pojavile po 6 do 10 letih opravljanja poklica. Večina anketirancev (78 %) meni, da so njihove težave povezane z naravo njihovega dela. Ena tretjina anketirancev je zaradi prisotnosti bolečine potrebovala bolniški stalež, ki je povprečno trajal 14 dni. Kar 96 % anketirancev pri svojem delu uporablja pripomočke za nego; 52 % jih meni, da so ti pripomočki vedno na voljo. Zaključek: Prisotnost poškodb pri delu in z njimi povezana odsotnost z dela sta v ustanovi, kjer je potekala raziskava, visoka. Vodstvo ustanove bi moralo razmisliti, katere ukrepe bi bilo dobro uvesti, da bi zmanjšali pojavnost poškodb pri delu. Prav tako bi bilo smiselno raziskati področje pripomočkov za lažje premeščanje bolnikovTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverzitetni rehabilitacijski inštitut RS – Soča
