ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of sick building syndrome (SBS), and its relationship with indoor environmental quality in hospital settings. This cross-sectional study was carried out on 300 hospital staff in Sivas. MM 040 NA Hospital questionnaire was applied. In the hospital indoor environments, air quality (carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO₂), oxygen (O₂), methane (CH₄), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), nitrogen oxides (NO_x)), lighting, noise, respirable dust and thermal comfort measurements were made. The prevalence of SBS was determined as 64.7–74.1% in the hospitals. It was found that the risk of SBS was 4.31 times higher for those who complained about variable room temperature and 3.11 times higher for those who complained about noise, and decreased 1.01 times with the increase in lighting level. In order to minimize the risk of SBS, it is thought that all healthcare administrators should be informed about SBS.

摘要

本研究的目的是确定病态建筑综合征 (SBS) 的患病率，及其与医院环境中室内环境质量的关系。这项横断面研究是在锡瓦斯的 300 名医院工作人员中进行的。应用了 MM 040 NA 医院问卷。在医院室内环境中，空气质量（一氧化碳（CO）、二氧化碳（CO ₂）、氧气（O ₂）、甲烷（CH ₄）、硫化氢（H ₂ S）、氮氧化物（NO _x))、照明、噪音、可吸入粉尘和热舒适度测量。SBS 的患病率在医院确定为 64.7-74.1%。结果发现，抱怨室温变化的人患 SBS 的风险高出 4.31 倍，抱怨噪音的人高出 3.11 倍，并随着照明水平的增加而降低 1.01 倍。为了将 SBS 的风险降至最低，认为所有医疗保健管理者都应该了解 SBS。
