Abstract

Background: Green management is a way for healthcare institutions to lessen their impact on the environment and occupational hazards. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of implementing a green management program on nursing staff' knowledge, attitudes, and green management practices toward occupational safety. Research design: The goal of this study was accomplished using a quasi-experimental design. Setting: This study was carried out in Damanhour University Hospital in these selected departments for general medicine, general surgery, specialized surgery, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, general intensive care, and cardiac care. Sample: By using a convenience sampling technique, a total of 100 nursing staff, from the previously mentioned setting, who accepted to participate in the study were recruited in the study. Tools: Three tools were used: Tool I: Structured interviewing questionnaire: It consists of two parts as the following: Part I is concerned with the demographic data of the studied nursing staff and Part II is concerned nursing staff' knowledge, Tool II: Green management practices questionnaire, and Tool III: The Occupational Safety Scale (OSS). Results: Green management was low among the majority of nursing staff before the intervention; after the intervention, most of them improved to a high level, which they maintained for 78.0% of the time. Comparably, of the nursing staff, less than 75% had low levels of occupational safety before the intervention, and most of them improved to high levels after it. Conclusion: Green management practices, knowledge, and attitudes of nursing staff about occupational safety are positively correlated with the implementation of green management programs. Recommendations: Hospitals should offer a safe environment for staff by supporting the green management system and continuing to provide green management programs for nursing staff to improve their knowledge and attitudes. Encouraging all healthcare facilities to embrace occupational safety regulations and green management practices to decrease waste, protect the environment, and make the workplace safer for healthcare workers.
