Abstract
Sustainability is a global issue appearing in every aspect and work environment around us. Food
and water scarcity, water and air pollution, medication scarcity are just some of the topics
connected with it. While often looked for solutions and improvements on different levels, it is
rarely looked at how our behaviour contributes to the global problem.
This research aimed to explore sustainability from a different angle in a unique environment. The
focus was on looking if there is a medication waste issue on the ICU floor to begin with and
what could be the contributing factors. Examining the behaviour connected with this issue and
looking for limitations and reasons behind them was the goal of the research.
The research looks into a very specific work environment, where this issue has not been looked
at this angle before. Therefore, it answers questions, previously unasked for a very specific
situation. It also shows that sustainability is a huge concept that concerns everything and
everyone and can be applied to any field.
In the end, the results from the practical part of the research were analysed with the help of the
chosen theoretical model and gave answers to the research question and recommendations.
