Abstract

Purpose: The study was conducted to provide basic data for development of health care programs for cleaners working in hospitals by analyzing job-related injuries among them and related factors. Methods: The study surveyed cleaners working in 6 general hospitals in D metropolitan city. The questionnaire was structurally designed to include items about job-related injuries, working conditions, tasks, and occupational safety conditions. For the analysis of the collected data, the SPSS 21.0 software was used, and descriptives, t-test, cross-tabulation analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis were conducted. Results: Those study results have found that gender, income levels, inadequate safety facilities and equipment and noise have influenced health-related injuries. Conclusion: To achieve this, not only employers of cleaners but also hospitals in which they work should make efforts to educate those cleaners who have little knowledge of health and medical care, and improve their working conditions.
