| Abstract | Uvod: Sestrinstvo je danas vrlo tražena profesija koja se nalazi u središtu pozornosti, te predstavlja nosivi stup zdravstva. Medicinske sestre čine najveću radnu snagu u zdravstvenim službama. Nedostatak ulaganja u profesiju i sve veća ravnodušnost prema njoj samo su dva ključna pitanja koja se odnose na nedostatak sestara. Ukoliko se nastavi njihova daljnja migracija, nedostatak kadra predstavljati još veće javnozdravstvene probleme.
Metode: Istraživanje je provedeno pomoću online ankete, koja je proslijeđena putem društvenih mreža u državi Hrvatskoj, Bosni i Hercegovini i Sloveniji, a izrađena je pomoću Google Forms obrasca. U istraživanju su sudjelovale medicinske sestre/tehničari raznih razina obrazovanja iz navedene tri države u razdoblju od 20.04 do 13.05.2021 godine.
Rezultati: U anketi je sudjelovalo 226 sudionika, medicinskih sestara/tehničara iz Republike Hrvatske (48,67%), Republike Slovenije (10,62%) i Federacije Bosne i Hercegovine (40,71%). Najveći broj sudionika čini ženski spol. Prosječna starost sudionika iznosi 36,9 godina. Najveći broj sudionika ima završenu srednju školu za medicinskog tehničara ili preddiplomski stručni/sveučilišni studij, Prosječan radni staž sudionika iznosi 14,8 godina. Velik udio sudionika, 65,04%, zaposleno je u sekundarnoj zdravstvenoj zaštiti. Istraživanje pokazuje da je 121 sudionik (53,54%) spreman napustiti matičnu državu i otići raditi u inozemstvo. Nadalje, 55,75% sudionika (126) ne razmišlja o napuštanju sestrinske profesije, iako se iz odgovora na pitanja vidi nezadovoljstvo sustavom, dok 44,25% sudionika (100) razmišlja o napuštanju sestrinske profesije kako bi radili nešto drugo. Zaključak: Provedenim istraživanjem u navedene tri države, pokazalo se kako je čak 53,54% sudionika spremno napustiti matičnu državu i otići raditi u inozemstvo, ali unutar sestrinske profesije. Ovo je situacija u kojoj potražnja za medicinskim sestrama premašuje ponudu. Možemo se nadati da će se u skorije vrijeme rad medicinskih sestara/tehničara više cijeniti, te kako će se početi rješavati ovaj kroničan nedostatak koji nas prati. Također, bitno je da
obrazovane medicinske sestre/tehničari u državama Hrvatske, Slovenije, i Bosne i Hercegovine, uvide mogućnosti za napredak, usavršavanje i kvalitetan rad u matičnim državama, uz mogućnost dobivanja adekvatnih radnih uvjeta, željenih plaća i mogućnostima za napredak. |
| Abstract (english) | Introduction: Today, nursing is a highly required profession that is in the center of attention, and it presents a supporting pillar of health care. Nurses make up the largest workforce in health services. Deficiency of investment in the profession and growing indifference to it are just two key issues related to the lack of nurses. Simply, there would be no response without them, and if their further migration continues, staff shortages will pose even greater public health problems.
Methods: The research was conducted using an online survey, which was transmitted through social networks in the country of Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Slovenia, and was created via the Google Forms form. It was filled in by nurses / technicians of various levels of education from the three countries in the period from 20.04 to 13.05.2021.
Results: In the survey participated 226 participants, nurses/technicians from the Republic of Croatia (48.67%), the Republic of Slovenia (10.62%) and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (40.71%). The largest number of participants are women. The average age of the participants is 36.9 years old. Most of the participants have completed high school for a medical technician or undergraduate professional / university study. The average length of service of participants is 14.8 years. The largest number of participants, 65.04%, are employed in secondary health care. The survey shows that 121 participants (53.54%) are ready to leave their home country and go to work abroad. Furthermore, 55.75% of participants (N=126) do not think about leaving the nursing profession, although the answers to the questions show dissatisfaction with the system, while 44.25% of participants (N=100) think about leaving the nursing profession to do something else. Conclusion: A survey conducted in these three countries showed that as many as 53.54% of respondents are ready to leave their home country and go to work abroad, but within the nursing profession. This is a situation where the demand for nurses exceeds the supply. We can hope that this will soon be
more appreciated, and that someone will look back at the chronic deficiency that accompanies us, and that educated nurses / technicians in Croatia, Slovenia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina will see opportunities for progress, training and quality work in the home countries, with the possibility of obtaining adequate working conditions, desired salaries and opportunities for progress. |
