Özet:

 It is important for the indoor light intensity, sound intensity and air quality of hospitals, which are closed areas providing health services, to be at appropriate standards for both patients and health care workers compliance with their work. Our aim is to compare sound and light intensity and air quality parameters in a university hospital according to the units and campuses of the hospital. The study is of a cross-sectional design. The sample was further divided into four groups as intensive care-operating room, laboratory-medical units-radiology, polyclinic-ward-emergency room, workshops-cafeteria. Temperature, humidity, air flow rate, noise, lighting level, particulate matter and gas in the air were measured at designated locations. In summarizing the data; Median 1.3. quartiles values, numbers and percentages were used. Mann-Whitney-U, Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann-Whitney U test with post hoc Bonferroni correction were used in the analysis of the data. As a result of the measurements, the temperature value was found to be 24.6 C, humidity 37.3, air flow speed 0 mms, light intensity 225 lux, sound 60.8 dB, CO2 400 ppm. As a result of the gas measurements, NO, H2S, CO, SO2 gases were not detected in the indoor air of the hospital. Values outside the limits were detected in some areas. It is important to investigate the reasons for this situation, make the necessary arrangements to eliminate the problems, provide protective equipment and encourage its use.

 Sağlık hizmeti sunan kapalı alanlardan olan hastanelerin iç ortam ışık şiddeti, ses şiddeti ve hava kalitesinin uygun standartlarda olması gerek hastalar gerekse sağlık hizmeti veren çalışanların işe uyumu açısından önem teşkil etmektedir. Amacımız bir üniversite hastanesinde ses ve ışık şiddeti ile hava kalitesi parametrelerinin hastanenin birim ve yerleşkelerine göre karşılaştırılmasıdır. Araştırma kesitsel tiptedir. Örneklem yoğun bakım-ameliyathane, laboratuvar-tıbbi birimler-radyoloji, poliklinik-servis-acil servis, atölyeler-kantin olarak dört gruba ayrıldı. Belirlenen yerlerden sıcaklık, nem, hava akım hızı, gürültü, aydınlatma düzeyi, havada bulunan partiküler maddeler ve gaz ölçümleri yapıldı. Verilerin özetlenmesinde; ortanca 1.3. çeyreklik değerleri ile sayı ve yüzdelikler kullanıldı. Verilerin analizinde Mann-Whitney-U, Kruskal-Wallis testi, post hoc Bonferroni düzeltmeli Mann-Whitney U testi kullanıldı. Ölçümler sonucunda sıcaklık değeri 24,6 C, nem 37,3, hava akım hızı 0 mms, ışık şiddeti 225 lüks, ses 60,8 dB, Karbon dioksit CO2 400 ppm olarak saptandı. Yapılan gaz ölçümleri sonucunda hastane iç ortam havasında NO, H2S, CO, SO2 gazları tespit edilmedi. Bazı alanlarında sınırların dışında değerler tespit edildi. Bu durumun sebeplerinin araştırılması, sorunların giderilmesi için gerekli düzenlemelerin yapılması, koruyucu ekipman verilmesi ve kullanımın teşvik edilmesi önem arz etmektedir.
