Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence, type and circumstances of occupational injuries among Pula General Hospital nurses and medical technicians as well as the exposure of nurses and technicians to psycho-social stressors. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Material and methods: The research conducted from 1 April 2017 to 1 May 2017 included 191 nurses/medical technicians of the Pula General Hospital. The research instrument was a specially designed questionnaire which consisted of 22 questions. The questionnaire determined the examinees’ age, sex, professional qualification and socio-economic status. It also offered data on the frequency, type and circumstances in which occupational injuries at work occur, as well as on the level of stress incurred by nurses and medical technicians. Results: Among the examinees, there were 17 (8.9%) of those who experienced an occupational injury in the last six months and 48 (25.1%) of them who had the same experience in the last year. Regarding the location of the injury, the most common were stomach injuries followed by injuries to the lower back and pelvis, while regarding the type of injury, the most common ones were stabs done with a sharp object. There is a significant connection between shift work and the frequency of injuries incurred by nurses/medical technicians, but also between the occurrence of injuries and the level of stress found in nurses and medical technicians on their jobs. Conclusion:To diminish the incidence of occupational injuries it would be necessary to minimize shift work which would also diminish the level of stress to which nurses and medical technicians are exposed on their jobs.
