Assessment
of primary medical nurses health
Nurses are the carrier of knowlege about health and healthy life,
nonetheless most of them aren't so healthy. Because of this attention is
focused on their health assessment and problems, that are connested with
availability and quality of medical aid which is given them. Nurses attitude to
healty life, social and work area can also make significant impact.
We carried out a cross-sectional research, based on the voluntary
questionnaire and anamnesis of 53 nurses which work in Children City
polyclinic, ¹13,18 polyclinics and Central City Clinic Hospital.
Research showed that 2/3(66.0%) of respondents dont need any medical
observation.
According to
exacerbation of chronic disease 13.0% of nurses address in medical institutions
they work. 8.0% of them receive medical care in specialized medical
institutions.13.0% of respondents are engaged in self-medicate.
According
to the survey, most of nurses noted their health as good(45.0%),
satisfyingly(41,0%), and dissatisfying(4.0%). 10.0% of respondents did not
allowed rating. Data is presented in
figure below.

nurses in percentages
Medical history
of respondents identified revealed chronic disease structure: diseases of
digestive system (32.3 %), genitourinary system (16.2%), circulatory system
(14.4 %), respiratory (11.7 %), nervous system (8.5%), bones and joints (7.6%),
ear and mastoid (4.7%), eye and its appendages (4.6%).
Evaluation of
medical care by nurses revealed a partial satisfaction with the quality of care
(71.6 %).
The main reason
of discontent is in high price of medicines (50,7%), unavailability of
inpatient treatment (29.1 %), presence of low-skilled specialists (12.3%), and
their own reasons related to the violation of medical prescriptions (8,0%).
It is clear that
there is a high constant of chemical, toxically and allergenic materials which
are connected with work area of nurses. Also medical work area means frequent
cases of infections, some bacterial diseases; over 9,5% of respondents had
noted this fact.
Our
cross-sectional research revealed health dependence of several factors, those
are the main ones: the adverse psychological climate in the family, frequent
stress , conflicts between members, lack of health prevention activities,
irregular and poor nutrition, limits in availability of highly qualified
specialized medical care and t. e.
Despite the
meaning of health in medicine, nurses mostly have bad habits. 72,8% of them
drink alcohol with a different frequency, 14,0% nurses smoke. Most of
respondents had notes big motivation to sport. Unfortunately there are big
problems with realization because of time lack, hard workload, prices in gyms
and sections.
Thus, it should
be noted that evaluation of research group and the state formation of health
are influenced by their professional knowledge and professional skills. The
lack of systematic effort and activity in the formation of a healthy lifestyle
that dictates the advisability of developing evidence-based health
interventions and rationalization of work and rest of nurses by integrating the
principles of a healthy lifestyle.
There is expediency in development of evidence-based health
interventions; rationalization of work by integrating the principles of a
healthy lifestyle.
