Abstract
BOBADILLA SUAREZ, Carlos Alberto; GARZON GONZALEZ, Luisa María and CHARRIA ORTIZ, Víctor Hugo. Identification of psychosocial risk factors at a highly complex clinic. Psicol. caribe [online]. 2018, vol.35, n.2, pp.131-144. ISSN 0123-417X. https://doi.org/10.14482/psdc.35.2.7650.
The purpose of this research study was to identify the psychosocial in-workplace and out-of-workplace risk factors in the workers of a health sector institution that provides high complexity services (level III) in the city of Cali, Colombia. This was a study with a descriptive cross-sectional research design. Form A and B of the Questionnaire of Psychosocial Risk Factors In-workplace and the Questionnaire of Factors of Psychosocial and Out-of-workplace Risk (Ministry of Social Protection & Pontificia Universidad Javeriana Bogotá, 2010) were applied to a sample of 183 workers. The results show that the domains where psychosocial risk is most prevalent are labor demands and control over work. At the out-of-workplace level, the conditions that represent the greatest risk are: time away from work, financial situation of the family group, characteristics of the home and its environment, and commuting. We concluded that the clinic is at a high level of psychosocial risk, for which the implementation of an Epidemiological Surveillance Program for Psychosocial Risk is required to prevent stress responses and associated diseases.
