“…Research by Korkmaz et al (2018) concluded that the occupational safety perceptions of the participants were at a good level. Altun Uğraş et al (2018) found that the nurses working in the operating room found occupational safety more inadequate as compared to other surgical nurses. Several studies in the literature have also determined that nurses find occupational safety conditions inadequate (Çelikkalp et al, 2016; Çil, 2016; Güzel, 2017; Samur & Seren İntepeler, 2017).…”

No sample was selected in the study, the data collection tool was distributed to all employees who agreed to participate in the study and 195 usable questionnaires have been obtained. According to the correlation analysis results, there are negative and weak relationships between occupational safety and work stress, positive and weak relationships between occupational safety and happiness, and negative and weak relationships between work stress and happiness. According to the regression analysis results, it has been determined that perceived occupational safety explains 4.1% of the total variance on work stress, 8.4% of the total variance on happiness and perceived work stress explains 12.4% of the total variance on happiness. The study also found that the variable affecting perceived happiness the most is work stress.

SARS-CoV-2 is a virus that is easily transmitted by close physical contact and droplets. Healthcare workers, especially midwives and nurses working in environments that require close contact working conditions, such as the emergency room and delivery room, have a high risk of encountering this virus. Healthcare workers can easily carry these viruses into their family environments. This study aimed to present a case study to share the disease experience and clinical features of a midwife who worked in the emergency room and had presented with no indications but received a COVID-19 positive test. When this healthcare worker first learned about the disease, it was found that she had many complex and negative emotions, received hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) 2*200 mg oral tablet treatment for five days at home, had very rare symptoms of dry cough, weakness, and loss of smell and taste, and her life findings were within normal limits, despite the fact that she felt guilty and questioned her profession, had fear of stigmatization, and had limited social support.

Aim: This study aimed to examine the factors affecting nurses' attitudes towards risks in the work environment.Background: Nurses' attitudes towards work environment-associated risks affect both risk management and employee health.Methods: This descriptive study was conducted with 338 nurses working in a public hospital, university hospital and private hospital. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form and the Nurses' Attitudes Towards Work Environment Risks Scale.Results: Nurses were found to have a positive attitude towards risk in the work environment. Regression analysis showed that nurses' attitudes towards risk was affected by institution, gender, access to unit-specific risk management training, past experiences of sharp penetrating tool injuries, acceptance of risks due to the belief that risks are unavoidable, exposure to violence from colleagues, exposure to biological hazards and neglect to take risk precautions.Conclusions: This study's results show that nurses' attitudes towards risk in the work environment are affected by both individual and organizational factors.Implications for Nursing Management: This study's results can help institutions and nurse managers understand the factors affecting nurses' attitudes towards workrelated risks, thereby allowing them to determine the primary strategies that may be used to address these factors.
