Nocividad del proceso de trabajo en un hospital público de la ciudad de México
description
Hospitals are an essential component of health care systems and social life. Despite their importance, in Mexico health care institutions and companies ignore their own occupational health actions, and give little importance to hazards associated with their internal work processes. An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional survey was conducted to study work processes in four departments of a hospital from Mexico City, to assess the state of occupational health and develop an intervention proposal. The Verification, Diagnosis and Surveillance in Occupational Health at Companies Model (PROVERIFICA for its acronym in Spanish) was applied. Most of the health care workers included in the survey were female (745 = 82%). The main hazards to which they were exposed were poor ventilation; noise; and miscellaneous accidents due to the poor state of the facilities, equipment, work conditions and working environment in general. The most frequent hazardous workplace demands were forced and awkward positions; difficult physical demands; and long, intense workdays. Some of the critical failures identified were the lack of orientation and training programs for workers and little involvement by management in occupational health-related matters. The overall Hospital Effectiveness Percentage was highly deficient (31.9%), due to multiple failures in complying with occupational health-related regulations.

A pesar de ello, en nuestro país, las instituciones sanitarias y las empresas soslayan las actividades relativas a la salud en el trabajo: dan poca importancia a la nocividad de los procesos laborales. Se realizó una investigación observacional, descriptiva y transversal. El objetivo fue estudiar los procesos de trabajo de cuatro servicios de un hospital de la ciudad de México, para evaluar el estado de la salud laboral y elaborar una propuesta de intervención. Se aplicó el modelo para la Verificación, Diagnóstico y Vigilancia de la Salud Laboral en las Empresas (PROVERIFICA). Gran parte del personal de salud incluido en el estudio corresponde al sexo femenino (745 = 82%), cuyos principales riesgos a los que se expone son: ventilación deficiente, ruido y accidentes diversos debidos al mal estado de las instalaciones, equipos, condiciones y medio ambiente de trabajo en general; respecto a las exigencias laborales, las posiciones forzadas e incómodas, esfuerzo físico y jornadas de trabajo intensas son las más frecuentes. Algunas de las fallas críticas detectadas fueron la falta de programas de inducción, capacitación para los trabajadores y la pobre intervención de los niveles directivos en materia de salud laboral. El Porcentaje de Eficacia del hospital resultó por completo deficiente (31,9%), dado el incumplimiento de múltiples aspectos normativos en materia de salud en el trabajo.2015text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=6335997(Revista) ISSN 1315-0138Salud de los Trabajadores, ISSN 1315-0138, Vol. 23, Nº. 1, 2015, pags. 39-48spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
