Zdravstveno stanje i radni uvjeti profesora tjelesne i zdravstvene kulture u Republici Hrvatskoj

Ovo poprečno istraživanje provedeno je u cilju dobivanja uvida u zdravstveno stanje, psihosomatske karakteristike, životne navike, kao i zadovoljstvo radnim uvjetima profesora tjelesne i zdravstvene kulture u Republici Hrvatskoj. Za istraživanje je sastavljen poseban upitnik, koji je ispitanicima poslan izravno ili putem škola, uz potporu Ministarstva znanosti, obrazovanja i športa. Upitnik je sadržavao 93 pitanja o osobnim/demografskim podacima, zdravstvenom stanju, psihosomatskim karakteristikama tijekom godine dana prije istraživanja, životnim navikama (prehrana i tjelesna aktivnost u slobodno vrijeme) te zadovoljstvu radnim mjestom. Ispunjene upitnike poslao je 491 profesor (295 – 60, 08% muškaraca i 196 – 39, 92%) žena). Profesori su bili u dobi od 23 do 66 godina (srednja vrijednost 46, 16± ; 11, 15 godina). Predstavljali su sve dijelove Hrvatske: 24, 44% bilo je iz istočne Hrvatske, 16, 29% iz sjeverne Hrvatske, 14, 66% iz središnje Hrvatske, 11, 81% iz zapadne Hrvatske, 20, 37% iz južne Hrvatske, a 12, 43% iz Grada Zagreba. U osnovnoj ili srednjoj školi ili na fakultetu zaposlen je 481 profesor, 11-ero profesora zaposleno je u rekreacijskim centrima. Broj godina zaposlenja kretao se od 0, 5 do 46 godina (srednja vrijednost 19, 54± ; 12, 34 godina). Pojavu zdravstvenih problema tijekom radnog staža navelo je 62.32% ispitanika. Najčešće zahvaćen organski sustav bio je mišićnokoštani (poteškoće je navelo 46, 84% ispitanika), zatim srčano-žilni (10, 79%), probavni (7, 74%), mokraćni (6, 31%), te dišni sustav (4, 89%). Što se tiče pojedinačnih dijagnoza, 45, 42% ispitanika navelo je bol u križima, 17, 11% povišenu koncentraciju lipida u krvi, 16, 50% arterijsku hipertenziju, 14, 46% proširene vene donjih ekstremiteta, a 14, 05% ispitanika reumatske simptome. U 139 ispitanika postojali su akutni i/ili kronični problemi mišićnokoštanog sustava koji bi se mogli pripisati sindromima prenaprezanja. Uvjetima na radnom mjestu vrlo je nezadovoljno ili u većoj mjeri nezadovoljno 40, 53% ispitanika, 35, 64% je zadovoljno, a 18, 53% je vrlo zadovoljno uvjetima na radnom mjestu, 12.02% ispitanika pristalo bi na prelazak na administrativno radno mjesto, a 17, 92% prihvatilo bi odlazak u prijevremenu mirovinu zbog zdravstvenih poteškoća ili preopterećenja na radnom mjestu. Usprkos određenim ograničenjima studije, vjerujemo da rezultati mogu pružiti smjernice za implementaciju mjera za poboljšanje zdravstvenog stanja i radnih uvjeta profesora tjelesne i zdravstvene kulture u Hrvatskoj. ----- A cross-sectional study was carried out to get an insight into the health status, psychosomatic characteristics, life-style habits, as well as workplace conditions and satisfaction of the physical education (PE) teachers in the Republic of Croatia. In order to assess the abovementioned, a questionnaire was designed and sent to the subjects directly or via schools with the support of the Ministry of Science, Education and Sport. The questionnaire comprised 93 questions on personal/demographic data, health status, psychosomatic characteristics during the year prior to the investigation, life-style habits (nutrition and leisure-time physical activity), and workplace satisfaction. Four-hundred-ninety-one PE teachers [295 (60.08%) men and 196 (39.92%) women] returned the filled in questionnaire. The teachers were aged 23-66 years (46.16± ; 11.15 years). The participants represented all parts of Croatia: 24.44% were from Eastern Croatia, 16.29% from Northern Croatia, 14.66% from Central Croatia, 11.81% from Western Croatia, 20.37% from Southern Croatia, and 12.43% from the City of Zagreb. Four-hundred-eighty-one teachers were employed either in primary or secondary schools, or faculties. Eleven teachers worked in physical recreation centres. Number of years of employment ranged from 0.5 to 46 years (19.54± ; 12.34 years). RESULTS Health disturbances during their work life were reported by 62.32% subjects. The most often affected was the musculoskeletal system (46.84% subjects reported difficulties), followed by cardiovascular (10.79%), digestive (7.74%), urinary (6.31%), and respiratory system (4.89%). As for individual diagnoses, 45.42% participants reported low back pain, 17.11% high blood lipids, 16.50% arterial hypertension, 14.46% suffered from difficulties with tortuous veins of lower extremities, and 14.05% participants reported rheumatism. Hundred-thirty-nine participants suffered from acute and/or chronic musculoskeletal disturbances that could be attributed to overuse injuries, 40.53% subjects were very or rather unsatisfied with workplace conditions, 35.64% were satisfied, and 18.53% expressed being very satisfied with workplace conditions, 12.02% reported willingness to change workplace, and 17.92% reported they would consider earlier retirement due to health disturbances or overload in workplace. Despite the limitations of a self-reported study, we believe the findings can provide directions for the implementation of measures to improve health status and work conditions of PE teachers in Croatia.
