Özet:

 The human factor is the first step in the continuation of productivity or service in todays societies. There fore, well-being in every aspectin cludes parameters that should be examined for alloccupational groups. For some occupational groups, physical fitness is an important point both in preventing loss of work force and in coping with the challenging physical stress of occupations. The lack of highly effective and reliable applications that evaluate the physical capacity of paramedics led us to this study. In our study, it was aimed to determine whether it can determine physical competence for paramedics by examining anthropometric characteristics. The study was carried out with 113 students of First and Emergency Aid program at Giresun University, Sebinkarahisar Vocational School of Health Services, after all necessary permissions were obtained. In this study, the height and body weights of the participants were determined and their body mass indexes were calculated. In the determination of physical performance, Omni Life Support Paramedic Physical Ability Test, which is a physical aptitude test protocol for paramedics, was applied. According to the study, greater height p0.001 and body weight p0.001 positively affectt hephysicalcapacity of the participant. However, there was nosignificant difference between those who are with in the determined anthropometric limits and those who do not meet the anthropometric conditions in terms of physical adequacy test results p0.05. It is thought that the evaluation of anthropometric data alone will not be sufficient to determine occupational physical competence, which requires more precise measurement methods, and that applicable physical adequacy test protocols should be prepared and implemented in our country.

 İnsan faktörü, günümüz toplumlarında üretkenliğin veya hizmetin devam edebilmesinin ilk basamağıdır. Bu yüzden her açıdan iyilik hali tüm meslek grupları için incelenmesi gereken parametreler içerir. Bazı meslek grupları için fiziksel uygunluk, hem iş gücü kaybını önlemede hem de mesleklerin getirdiği zorlu fiziksel stresle başa çıkmada önemli bir noktadır. Paramedikler için de fiziksel uygunluk önemlidir. Paramediklerin çalışma alanında birçok noktada karşılaşılan fiziksel stresle başa çıkabilmesinin ilk adımı iyi bir fiziksel kapasiteye sahip olmaktır. Ülkemizde farklı dönemlerde paramedik adayları için antropometrik kriterler istense de, bu uygulamadan vazgeçilmiştir ve fiziksel kapasiteyi değerlendiren etkinliği ve güvenilirliği yüksek uygulamaların olmayışı bizi bu çalışmaya yöneltmiştir. Çalışmamızda antropometrik özelliklerin incelenerek paramedikler için fiziksel yeterliliği belirleyip belirleyemeyeceğinin tayini amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma Giresun Üniversitesi, Şebinkarahisar Sağlık Hizmetleri Meslek Yüksekokulunda gerekli tüm izinler alındıktan sonra İlk ve Acil Yardım programı öğrencisi olan 113 kişi ile uygulanmıştır. Bu çalışmada katılımcıların boy uzunlukları ve vücut ağırlıkları belirlenmiş ve beden kitle indeksleri hesaplanmıştır. Fiziksel performans tayininde ise, paramedikler için fiziksel yeterlilik testi protokolü olan Omni Life Support Paramedic Physical Ability Test uygulanmıştır. Çalışmaya göre, katılımcı popülasyonunda boy uzunluğunun daha fazla olması p0.001 ve vücut ağırlığının daha fazla olması p0.001 fiziksel kapasiteyi olumlu etkilemektedir. Bununla beraber belirlenen antropometrik sınırlar içerisinde olanlar ile antropometrik şartları sağlamayanlar arasında fiziksel yeterlilik testi sonuçları açısından anlamlı bir fark bulunamamıştır p0,05. Tek başına antropometrik verilerin değerlendirmeye alınmasının mesleki fiziksel yeterliliğin belirlenmesinde yeterli olamayacağı, belirleyiciliği daha hassas ölçüm yöntemlerine ihtiyaç olduğu ve ülkemizde uygulanabilir fiziksel yeterlilik testleri protokollerinin hazırlanması ve uygulanması gerektiği düşünülmektedir.
