dc.description.abstractAlthough workplace lighting improves employee satisfaction and performance, it may also harm health. It has been established that the lighting in hospitals influences the productivity of the staff. and patient healing ability. This study aimed to assess hospital lighting conditions and determine their impacts. During the first part of the study, lighting measurements were taken and evaluated in compliance with the TS EN 12,464-1: 2021-09 criteria in October and November of 2021. In the second step, 360 people were surveyed to evaluate employee opinions on lighting conditions. The maximum and minimum lighting levels were recorded at different hospital locations. Most participants worked in night shift, with an average age of 36.19 years and an average working time of 9 years. Overall, it was reported that the working and circulation spaces were well-lit. However, falls, cuts, fractures, sprains, bruises, and contusions were the most common lighting-related problems reported by the participants. According to the results, 15.5% of the participants experienced an occupational accident due to lighting. Therefore, modifying hospital lighting standards and implementing steps to protect personnel health are critical.
