ÖZET
Diabetes mellitus; prevalansı gittikçe artan, multifaktöriyel etkilenimi olan bir metabolizma bozukluğudur. Tedavi sürecinin iyi yönetilmemesi hâlinde komplikasyonlar gelişir. Hastanın hem sosyal yaşamı hem de iş yaşamı olumsuz etkilenir. Diyabet gelişimini kolaylaştıran düzeltilebilir faktörlerin bilinmesi, hastanın bu konuda eğitilmesi, hastalığın gelişmesinin geciktirilmesi ve önlenmesi için önemlidir. Son yüzyılda üretim, imalat, işleme, inşaat ve hizmet sektörü gibi birçok iş kolunda çalışan nüfus artmıştır. Artan endüstriyel üretim, aynı zamanda iş yaşamında rekabet ortamı, daha yoğun ve stresli çalışma koşulları, çalışanların kaygı düzeylerinde ve iş streslerinde artışı da beraberinde getirmiştir. Çalışanlar, günlerinin büyük bir kısmını iş yerinde geçirmektedir. Çalışma hayatının tümüyle riskten arındırılması çoğu zaman mümkün değildir; önemli olan, ortamdaki risklerin etkili şekilde kontrol altına alınması, çalışanların sağlığının korunmasıdır. Diyabet gelişimi ve seyri çevresel birçok faktörden etkilenmektedir. Bu nedenle iş yerindeki sağlık ve güvenlik tehlikelerinin (fiziksel risk etmenleri, kimyasal risk etmenleri, stres, vardiyalı çalışma vb.) değerlendirilmesi ve kontrol altına alınması son derece önemlidir. Mesleki maruziyetlerin diyabet hastalığı üzerine etkileri olduğu gibi diyabet hastalığının da çalışanın iş yaşamı üzerinde etkileri vardır. Çalışanın iş gücünde azalmalara, presentizm de artışa neden olabilmekte, ayrıca mikrovasküler ve makrovasküler komplikasyonlara bağlı olarak iş kazaları daha sık görülmektedir. Bunun için diyabetli bir çalışanın yapmakta olduğu işe uygunluğunun belirlenmesi, çalışma koşullarının düzeltilebilmesi için iş ortamında yapılabilecek düzenlemeler ve periyodik muayenelerinde dikkat edilecek hususlar önem taşımaktadır.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Diabetes mellitus; mesleki maruziyetler; iş sağlığı
ABSTRACT
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder with a multifactorial effect, the prevalence of which is increasing gradually. If the treatment process is not managed carefully, complications develop. Both the social and working life of the patients are adversely affected. Learning the correctable factors that facilitate the development of diabetes and educating the patient on this issue are important for delaying and preventing the development of the disease. In the last century, the population working in many employment sectors such as production, manufacturing, processing, construction and service sectors has increased. Increasing industrial production has also brought with the competitive environment in working life, more intense and stressful working conditions, increasing in the anxiety levels and work stress of the employees. Employees spend most of their day at work. It isn't often possible to completely eliminate risks from the working life, the important thing is to effectively control the risks in the environment and to protect the health of the employees. The development and follow-up of diabetes is affected by many environmental factors. For this reason, it is extremely important to evaluate and control health and safety hazards (physical risk factors, chemical risk factors, stress, shift work, etc.) in the workplace. As occupational exposures have effects on diabetes, diabetes also has effects on the working life of the employees. It can cause reductions in the workforce and an increase in presentism, and occupational accidents are more common due to microvascular and macrovascular complications. For this, it is important to determine the suitability of employees with diabetes for the job which they are doing, the arrangements that can be made in the work environment in order to improve the working conditions and the points to be considered in the periodic examinations.
