Accidente laboral y estresores de la organización del trabajo en el personal de salud: una mirada desde la seguridad y la salud en el trabajo: revisión narrativa

Resumen

Workplace accidents in health personnel occur as a consequence of work organization stressors. These stressors affect job satisfaction and productivity. The objective of this review is to report the scientific evidence on the relationship between workplace accidents and work organization stressors in health personnel, from the perspective of safety and health at work. In the collection of information, 190 articles were initially identified, of which seven were excluded due to duplication; 183 titles and abstracts were reviewed, discarding 139 of them. Then, 44 complete studies were reviewed, discarding 17. Finally, 27 studies that met the eligibility criteria were included in the review. In the health sector, workplace accidents are linked to factors such as overload, long work hours and night shifts, which negatively affect the health and well-being of health workers. The stressors of work organization, specifically work overload, the lack or insufficiency of human resources and extended working hours, are the main cause of work-related accidents in health personnel. Therefore, it is necessary to implement prevention and control management strategies aimed at improving the health and well-being of health workers.
