Síntomas musculoesqueléticos y estrés laboral en el personal de enfermería de un hospital militar
description
In order to examine associations between musculoskeletal symptoms and occupational stress among nursing personnel at a military hospital, a descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted in 127 nurses, without regard to age, years of service or history of congenital or acquired musculoskeletal abnormalities. After determining its validity and reliability, the Nordic Questionnaire was administered to the study population. Occupational stress was measured using the Nursing Stress Scale. Results revealed a high prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms in the preceding 12 months; neck pain, upper and lower back pain were most frequently reported. Occupational stress levels were mainly at the lower levels of the stress scale; however, a large number of persons were also at the critical level of this scale, and more frequently reported social labor stressors, problems with their supervisors, and not having the opportunity to speak freely with other job partners. With respect to psychological and physical stressors, lack of support, work overload, and difficulty dealing with patient death and suffering were the most relevant risk factors identified. There was a significant association between musculoskeletal symptoms, occupational stress and body mass index. We conclude that occupational stress is positively and significantly correlated with musculoskeletal symptoms, consistent with previous reports, and underscores the need for individual and organizational strategies to control and mitigate these occupational risk factors.

Para evaluar los referidos síntomas se aplicó el Cuestionario Nórdico, previa validación y determinación de la confiabilidad, para la valoración de estrés se utilizó el The Nursing Stress Scale. Los resultados evidenciaron en los últimos 12 meses un alto índice de síntomas musculoesqueléticos, prevaleciendo el dolor de cuello, espalda superior e inferior. La mayoría de los valores de los niveles de estrés, se ubicaron en el nivel bajo, sin embargo en el nivel crítico se registró un número importante de personas, siendo identificados con mayor frecuencia los estresores laborales sociales y en mayor proporción los referentes a problemas con el supervisor y a no tener ocasión para hablar abiertamente con otros compañeros de trabajo. En relación a los estresores psicológicos y físicos mostraron mayor relevancia la falta de apoyo, la sobrecarga de trabajo, muerte y sufrimiento del paciente. Al establecer la relación entre las variables consideradas se evidenció una correlación significativa entre los síntomas músculoesqueléticos con estrés laboral e índice de masa corporal. En conclusión, el estrés laboral se correlaciona positiva y significativamente con los síntomas musculoesqueleticos, lo que coincide con otros reportes y sugiere el diseño de estrategias individuales y organizacionales a los fines de disminuir y prevenir estos factores de riesgo ocupacionales.Instituto de Altos Estudios en Salud Pública "Dr. Arnaldo Gabaldón"2009text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=3194538(Revista) ISSN 1315-0138Salud de los Trabajadores, ISSN 1315-0138, Vol. 17, Nº. 2, 2009, pags. 85-95spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
