背景:发电厂与许多职业健康和安全风险因素有关,心理社会风险尤其显著。这项研究调查了发电厂员工的工作生活冲突和倦怠,并讨论了与这些问题相关的因素。
方法:这项横断面研究的重点是土耳其三个水力发电厂的员工。纳入标准包括任期至少一年的员工。使用整群抽样,在阿达纳选择了三种植物,安卡拉,还有Samsun.确定样本量为262,201名员工参与,产生76.7%的应答率。数据是通过使用结构化问卷的面对面访谈收集的,包含有效和可靠量表的子维度:哥本哈根社会心理问卷III(COPSOQ-III)的工作-生活冲突和倦怠子维度用于测量因变量。独立变量包括年龄,教育水平,总工作时间和每周工作时间,感知的健康状况,和部门。因变量为工作-生活冲突和倦怠。伦理批准是从加济大学伦理委员会获得的。统计学分析比较皮尔逊卡方检验,费希尔的精确检验,和Yates校正,显著性阈值为p<0.05。
结果:平均年龄为40.83岁,平均任期为11.54年,每周工作时间为43.51小时。大多数参与者(94.5%)是男性;技术单位工人占71.6%。健康问题包括吸烟(39.8%)和慢性病(19.9%)。对工作环境的担忧包括对安全的知识不足(25.4%)和对风险评估的知识不足(32.3%)。许多工人报告缺乏个人防护设备(11.4%)和休息区(15.4%)。31.8%的人注意到工作对健康的负面影响。此外,51.2%的人认为噪声水平超出了可接受的范围。三分之二的员工报告说,针对工作场所身体风险的措施不足。许多参与者经历了工作与生活冲突(13.9%)和倦怠(14.5%)。高工作生活冲突与年轻年龄组显著相关,更少的任期,和消极的感知健康状况。职业倦怠与就业持续时间显著相关,每周工作时间,和感知的健康状况。
结论:该研究强调了水力发电厂工人职业倦怠和工作与生活冲突的严重性,强调需要采取行政和组织干预措施来缓解这些问题。定期进行职业健康安全培训,参与风险评估,公平的工作量分配,支持性的工作环境,建议提供咨询服务以减少职业倦怠并改善工作与生活的平衡。
BACKGROUND: Power plants are associated with numerous occupational health and safety risk factors, with psychosocial risks being particularly significant. This study examines work-life conflict and burnout among power plant employees and discusses the factors associated with these issues.
METHODS: This cross-sectional study focused on employees at three hydroelectric power plants in Turkey. The inclusion criteria included employees with at least one year of tenure. Using cluster sampling, three plants were selected in Adana, Ankara, and Samsun. The sample size was determined to be 262, and 201 employees participated, yielding a 76.7% response rate. Data were collected via face-to-face interviews using a structured questionnaire, which encompasses the sub-dimensions of a valid and reliable scale: The Work-Life Conflict and Burnout sub-dimensions of the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire-III (COPSOQ-III) were used to measure the dependent variables. The independent variables included age, education level, total and weekly working hours, perceived health status, and department. The dependent variables were work-life conflict and burnout. Ethical approval was obtained from the Gazi University Ethics Committee. Statistical analysis compared the Pearson chi-square test, Fisher\'s exact test, and Yates correction with a significance threshold of p < 0.05.
RESULTS: The mean age was 40.83 years, with an average tenure of 11.54 years and a weekly work time of 43.51 hours. Most participants (94.5%) were male; technical unit workers comprised 71.6%. Health issues included smoking (39.8%) and chronic diseases (19.9%). Concerns about the working environment include insufficient knowledge about safety (25.4%) and lack of knowledge about risk assessments (32.3%). Many workers reported lacking personal protective equipment (11.4%) and rest areas (15.4%). Negative health impacts from work were noted by 31.8%. In addition, 51.2% believed that noise levels were outside the acceptable range. Two-thirds of employees reported inadequate measures against physical risks in the workplace. Many participants experienced work-life conflict (13.9%) and burnout (14.5%). High work-life conflict was significantly associated with younger age groups, less tenure, and negative perceived health status. Burnout was significantly related to the duration of employment, weekly working hours, and perceived health status.
CONCLUSIONS: The study highlights the seriousness of burnout and work-life conflict among hydropower plant workers, emphasizing the need for administrative and organizational interventions to alleviate these issues. Regular occupational health and safety training, involvement in risk assessments, fair workload distribution, supportive work environments, and counseling services are recommended to reduce burnout and improve work-life balance.
