Abstrakt		Izvajalci zdravstvene nege z zmanjšano delovno zmožnostjo so bolj dovzetni za negativne vplive delovnega okolja ter podvrženi tveganju za bolniško odsotnost, invalidnost in predčasno upokojevanje. Namen raziskave je oceniti delovno zmožnost izvajalcev zdravstvene nege starih 50 let in več, zaposlenih v hospitalni dejavnosti v Sloveniji, s ciljem raziskati povezavo med oceno delovne zmožnosti in trenutno delovno zmožnostjo ter demografskimi dejavniki. V raziskavi, ki je potekala od aprila do decembra 2016 je sodelovalo 433 izvajalcev zdravstvene nege 50 let in več, iz 13 bolnišnic na sekundarnem nivoju v Sloveniji. Uporabljen je standardiziran merski instrument za merjenje delovne zmožnosti (WAI), kratke verzije. Izračunana aritmetična srednja vrednost WAI je znašala 36,98+-6,46 ter mediana 38. Ob predpostavki p=0.05 je bilo ugotovljeno, da starost in WAI nista povezani (p= - 0.034, p=0.475). Izkazalo se je, da sta oceni WAI in "trenutna delovna zmožnost" močno pozitivno povezani (p=0,726, p<0.001). Demografske spremenljivke kot so višja izobrazba, polni delovni čas, enoizmenski ali triizmenski turnus so v naši raziskavi povezane z višjo oceno WAI. Izračunani WAI pri medicinskih sestrah, starejših od petdeset let, kaže na potrebo po sistemskih spremembah v okolju zdravstvene nege, tako da da bodo zaposleni v zdravstveni negi lahko ohranjali dobro delovno sposobnost vse do upokojitvene starosti in dlje.Nurses with reduced work ability are highly susceptible to the deleterious effects of their working environments, and their rates of sick leave, disability, and early retirement are higher than average. The aim of this study was to evaluate work ability in 433 Slovenian hospital nurses aged over fifty years providing secondary care in thirteen hospitals across Slovenia. To do that we used a standardised instrument known as work ability index (WAI). Mean WAI was 36.98 +- 6.46 and median 38. WAI was not associated with age (Spearman's p=-0.034, p=0.475). Total WAI score strongly correlated with the 1st item of the WAI questionnaire "current work ability" (p=0.726, p<0.001). Higher WAI scores were also associated with academic education, full-time employment, and working in a single (morning) or three shifts. Our WAI findings in nurses over fifty call for systemic changes in the nursing environment to maintain good work ability among nurses until the retirement age and beyond.
