A Study on the Relationship Between Working Hours and Occupational Hazards Among Nurses(Case Study: Yangon General Hospital) ( Theint Thandar Bo, 2024) Theint Thandar Bo This cross-sectional descriptive study examines the correlation between working hours and the incidence of occupational risks among staff nurses at YGH. The study had 221 participants from all wards, including the outpatient department. The research sought to determine the impact of work shifts, shift durations, and rest intervals on nurses' safety and well-being. Chemical and biological threats were recognized as the most significant, with apprehensions over chemical exposure and infection risks. A significant relationship exists between insufficient rest breaks and heightened biological and psychosocial hazards. The report also emphasized the deficiency of personal protective equipment (PPE) and the lack of training on safety protocols. Mitigating these concerns through enhanced PPE accessibility, thorough safety training, and cultivating a supportive reporting culture is crucial for diminishing occupational hazards and improving the safety of nurses at YGH. 2024-10-01 https://meral.edu.mm/records/10567
