Özet:

It is seen that occupational accidents, occupational disease, and health problems occurring due to conditions of the work environment in the health sector gradually increase. In this sector, which is classified as very dangerous based on the workplace hazard classification, personnel encounter biological, physical, and chemical hazards and various occupational risks and hazards such as ergonomic, radiation, and psychosocial dangers in their work environments. One of the most important units in the hospital is the delivery room. Personnel working here may encounter several ergonomic problems caused by both work environments and the job. Standing for a long time, somatic pains such as waist, shoulder caused as a result of movements while intervening in vaginal delivery, and factors such as  ambient temperature, hygiene, infections etc., have great importance. Providing  ergonomic working conditions is the most important condition to increase work  productivity and effectiveness. Ergonomics aim to provide the adjustment of work  according to humans by investigating the human characteristics and abilities.  Therefore, good work environments will also increase occupational health and  productivity. In this context, the purpose of this study is to determine the  ergonomic risks and hazards in delivery rooms, as well as the measures to be  taken.
