University professors and researchers participate in a variety of economic stimulus programs that reward productivity. In order to receive these payments, they must undergo detailed evaluations of the majority of their job activities. This process has led to a considerable work overload. Evaluations of this type, based on productivity, have caused significant damage to the health of these workers. The objective of this epidemiological survey-based study was to examine adverse health effects associated with the job demands and working conditions of teaching and research faculty at six public universities in Mexico. The survey instrument was derived from the Program for Evaluation and Monitoring of Worker Health (PROESSAT, by its Spanish acronym) and adapted to the needs of the study
population. We applied the DASS-21 inventory, previously validated in a Latino population, to assess anxiety, depression and stress. We also administered the Yoshitake test to measure fatigue, which has been validated in a Mexican population. These instruments were used to explore demographic data, working conditions, consequences of participation in stimulus programs, job requirements and adverse physical and mental health effects. We explored 13 different health disorders, of which the most prevalent were musculoskeletal disorders and dysphonia (at 37% each), followed by distress and low back pain (30% and 28%, respectively. The overall morbidity rate was three disorders per worker.

Para obtenerlos atraviesan por evaluaciones pormenorizadas de la mayoría de actividades laborales que, a la larga, se han constituido en una verdadera sobrecarga laboral. Esta modalidad de trabajo basada en la productividad, ha traído consigo importantes daños en la salud de estos trabajadores. El objetivo de esta investigación es conocer los daños a la salud asociados con las exigencias y condiciones laborales del personal académico y de investigación de seis universidades públicas en México. Para ello se aplicó una encuesta de uso epidemiológico, adaptada del Programa de Evaluación y Seguimiento de la Salud de los Trabajadores (PROESSAT) a las necesidades de cada población. Asimismo, se aplicaron el inventario DASS 21 para valorar ansiedad, depresión y estrés, el cual fue validado con población latina. La prueba Yoshitake para medir fatiga, se validó en población mexicana. Con estos instrumentos se exploraron: datos generales, condiciones del trabajo, consecuencias de la participación en programas de estímulos, exigencias laborales y daños en la salud física y mental. Se indagaron 13 distintos trastornos, los de mayor prevalencia fueron: los músculoesqueléticos y la disfonía con una tasa de 37 por cada 100 trabajadores, seguidos del distrés y la lumbalgia con 30 y28 por cada 100 trabajadores. La tasa general de morbilidad fue de 3 trastornos por cada trabajador.2018text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=6955479(Revista) ISSN 1315-0138Salud de los Trabajadores, ISSN 1315-0138, Vol. 26, Nº. 2, 2018, pags. 98-111spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
