Occupational health and safety (OHS) policies in healthcare institutions must be well managed, because healthcare practice involves many physical, biological, ergonomic, chemical, and psychosocial hazards that can affect the health of healthcare workers. In addition, their work performance may be affected by the so-called organisational myopia. In this context, the aim of our study was to determine how organisational myopia affects OHS practices in healthcare institutions and whether it increases the risk of occupational accidents. The study population consisted of a convenience sample of 420 healthcare professionals working throughout Turkey who completed a questionnaire addressing these three domains: organisational myopia, OHS practices, and risk of occupational accidents. Their responses were analysed with exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, and Spearman's correlation to assess the adequacy of measurement tools and identify relationships between variables, followed by mediation analysis. We found that OHS practices mitigate organisational myopia and the risk of occupational accidents. We also found no significant effect of organisational myopia on the risk of occupational accidents. Our findings underscore the importance of OHS practices in healthcare institutions and that organisational myopia should be evaluated in special contexts such as working time, experience, or routinisation.
医疗机构的职业健康与安全（Occupational health and safety，OHS）政策必须得到妥善管理，因为医疗实践涉及许多物理、生物、人体工程学、化学和社会心理危害因素，这些因素可能会影响医护人员的健康。此外，他们的工作表现可能会受到所谓的“组织近视”的影响。在这种情况下，我们的研究旨在确定组织近视如何影响医疗机构的职业健康与安全实践，以及它是否会增加职业事故的风险。研究对象为来自土耳其各地的 420 名医护专业人员，他们完成了一份调查问卷，涵盖了组织近视、职业健康与安全实践和职业事故风险这三个领域。我们使用探索性因素分析、可靠性分析和斯皮尔曼相关性分析来分析他们的回答，以评估测量工具的充分性并确定变量之间的关系，随后进行中介分析。我们发现，职业健康与安全实践可以减轻组织近视和职业事故风险。此外，我们还发现组织近视对职业事故风险没有显著影响。我们的研究结果强调了职业健康与安全实践在医疗机构中的重要性，并且表明应在工作时间、经验或常规化等特殊情况下评估组织近视。
