Abstract

Cilj ovog rada bio je ispitati učestalost seksualnog uznemiravanja među medicinskim sestrama i tehničarima te istražiti povezanost sociodemografskih karakteristika i obilježja radnog mjesta s iskustvom seksualnog uznemiravanja. Od ukupno 538 sudionika, njih je 240 izjavilo da su tijekom karijere doživjeli seksualno uznemiravanje, što čini 44% (CI 95% [40, 49]) uzorka, odnosno gotovo pola medicinskih sestara i tehničara u uzorku. Nadalje, 10% je (n = 45; CI 95% [6, 11])) doživjelo seksualno uznemiravanje na radnom mjestu u posljednjih 12 mjeseci. Prema rezultatima multivarijatne analize, spol i dob su jedini prediktori iskustva seksualnog uznemiravanja. Točnije, mlađe osobe i žene imaju veće šanse doživjeti seksualno uznemiravanje u odnosu starije osobe i muškarce.. Počinitelji su u više od 60% slučajeva bili pacijenti. Unatoč poražavajućoj učestalosti seksualnog uznemiravanja na radnom mjestu, samo je 18% slučajeva prijavljeno unazad godinu dana. Naši su nalazi u skladu s dosadašnjim istraživanjima, što ih ne čini ništa manje zabrinjavajućim.

Abstract (english)

This study aimed to examine the frequency of sexual harassment among nurses and nursing technicians, as well as to assess associations between sociodemographic characteristics, workplace characteristics and sexual harassment. Out of 538 participants, 240 of them reported sexual harassment during their career (44%; CI 95% [40, 49]), i.e., almost half of the sample. Furthermore, 10% (n = 45; CI 95% [6, 11]) had experienced workplace sexual harassment in the past year. According to the results of multivariate analysis, gender, and age are the only significant predictors of sexual harassment. Younger participants and women had increased odds of experiencing sexual harassment, compared to older participants and men. In more than 60% of cases, the perpetrators were patients. Despite the worrying prevalence of workplace sexual harassment, only 18% of cases have been reported in the past year. Even though our findings align with previous research, that does not make them any less disquieting.
