The seasonal influenza vaccination rate is very low for the general Slovenian population (the average rate from the 2015/16 season to the 2019/20 season is 4.3%) and also for healthcare employees (between 2009 and 2019, the average vaccination rate among healthcare workers in Slovenia was 12.9%), and it does not ensure sufficient community protection from the disease. At the beginning of the 2016/17 season, the University Medical Centre Ljubljana (UMCL) launched its first-ever occupational health promotion project with the slogan "I don't pass on the flu! I get vaccinated to protect myself and others." The goal of the project was to reach as many employees as possible and increase the general vaccination rate because those working in healthcare have a significantly greater risk of catching influenza than the rest of the working population. By being vaccinated, they protect not only themselves and their families against the disease, but also their patients. The project encouraged all employees to receive the free vaccination, especially those groups that had had lower vaccination rates over the past years. The support of the institution's executive staff and the heads of individual divisions was key to securing the required funds and suitable conditions for carrying out the project. Different communication tools were used in the project. The promotion strategy increased vaccination coverage at the UMCL from under 10.0% to 13.9% in 2016, 20.9% in 2017, 21.7% in 2018, and 30.1% in 2019. Workplace health promotion can make a difference. The examples of good practice have made a substantial difference and will be taken into account in planning and organizing vaccination activities during future influenza seasons. This practical model can be used in other hospital settings as wellCepljenje proti sezonski gripi je eden izmed najučinkovitejših preventivnih ukrepov pred širjenjem te nalezljive bolezni. Delež precepljenih v slovenski populaciji je zelo nizek (3,2 % v sezoni 2016-2017), enako velja za zdravstvene delavce (9,1 % v sezoni 2014-2015), kar ne zagotavlja zadostne kolektivne zaščite pred to boleznijo. V sezoni 2016-17 je bil v UKC Ljubljana prvič izveden projekt promocije zdravja pri delu s sloganom "Gripe ne prenašam! Zato se cepim! Tako ščitim sebe in druge". Projekt je bil v usmerjen v boljšo osveščenost zdravstvenih delavcev in dvig deleža precepljenih, saj gre za poklicno skupino, ki je v primerjavi s preostalo delovno populacijo bolj izpostavljena in v precej večji meri tvega, da zboli za gripo. S cepljenjem zaposleni v zdravstvu ne zaščitijo le sebe in svojih družin, temveč tudi bolnike. Projekt je k brezplačnemu cepljenju spodbujal vse zaposlene, še zlasti pa skupine zaposlenih z najnižjim deležem precepljenosti. Podpora najvišjega vodstva ustanove ter vodij klinik in drugih organizacijskih enot je bila ključnega pomena za zagotovitev potrebnih sredstev in ustreznih pogojev za izvedbo projekta. Uporabljena komunikacijska sredstva so vključevala logotip, različna vizualna sporočila, uporabno darilo in priponko s sloganom projekta, ki so ju prejeli vsi zaposleni, ki so se cepili. S projektom promocije zdravja pri delu za preprečevanje širjenja sezonske gripe med zaposlenimi v UKC Ljubljana smo povečali delež precepljenih proti sezonski gripi iz 10,0 % na 13,9 % v letu 2016, 20,9 % v letu 2017, 21,7 % v 2018, in 30,1 % v letu 2019. Projekt je nakazal številne možnosti za izboljšave pri načrtovanju in izvedbi cepitvenih aktivnosti v prihodnje. Primer dobre prakse lahko implementiramo tudi v druga bolnišnična okoljaTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaDruštvo psihologov Slovenije
