Energy sources are not unlimited in the world and energy sources that are not unlimited are consumed rapidly.
Energy is very precious and is an essential tool for our survival. In the globalizing world, thanks to technological
advances, many facilities have been created, but technological pollution is increasing and all living things are
affected, along with humans. If we want to live in a healthy, happy and peaceful life on earth, we must save on
energy use, increase the use of renewable energy and reduce technological pollution by using technological tools
carefully. We can turn this into an advantage by making small changes in our daily life. In this study, Turkey's
major cities, increasing the sensitivity of employees in health care, energy effectively and efficiently to ensure the
use, reduce technological pollution and sustainable to create an environment and was conducted in order to create
the livable world for future generations. 229 healthcare workers participated in the study by random questionnaire
method and face to face questionnaire was applied. Demographic and effective use of energy and technological
pollution scale were used in the survey. The collected data were analyzed with statistical package programs used
in social sciences. Descriptive analyzes, T test and Anova tests were performed. When the efficient use of energy
and technological pollution were compared with gender, no significant difference was found between them except
for the technological pollution sub-dimension. Technological pollution average scores of men are higher than
women. When the efficient use of energy and technological pollution are compared with marital status, there is no
significant difference except for the efficient use of energy. It was observed that the average scores of singles in
efficient use of energy were higher than those who were married. Efficient use of energy and technological pollution were compared with age range, education level and occupation, and a significant difference was found between the effective use of energy and the efficient use of energy, which is a sub-dimension of technological pollution, and education levels. No significant relationship was found in other comparisons. Necessary suggestions were
made at the end of the study.
