“…Under the context already explained, this study supports that gender and work modality are associated with psychosocial risks; in this regard, some antecedents (Fernández-Suárez et al, 2023;Rosario & Amézquita, 2014) have been found that working women have a greater tendency to have a greater workload, added to this domestic task and the inequality that prevents them from being able to have autonomy at work and develop their own lives ideas; furthermore, according to records reported by Ortega (2019), psychosocial risk can also vary depending on working conditions; consequently, the gender and work modality disparity has a significant impact on the psychosocial risks of workers. In this way, this study has identified these risks so that the institution in charge can implement the necessary interventions to protect the mental health and quality of life of health workers, these interventions being an ideal alternative to maintain a good balance between work and personal life (Daniels et al, 2021;Nielsen & Simonsen, 2013).…”

Health service providers are exposed to serious risks of physical and mental illnesses, thus creating an environment prone to psychosocial risks due to the nature of their work and its implications; it is necessary that they enjoy well-being to guarantee the safety and quality of care. care they provide to patients; this study aims to describe the prevalence of psychosocial risks in health workers, as well as to identify if sociodemographic factors are associated with this risk; for this purpose, a descriptive, association, quantitative and non-experimental study was applied to an initial sample of 2158 workers. The results show that age, gender, work modality and level of education are associated with psychosocial risks; in this sense, it is recommended to implement policies led by the human resources department in order to create a culture that values and prioritizes the mental and emotional well-being of employees.

“…Los trastornos músculo-esqueléticos, según el informe de la Agencia Europea para la Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo, son el problema de salud laboral más común en Europa [9]. Situación no ajena a nuestro país, en donde de acuerdo al informe proporcionado por el Ministerio de Trabajo y Seguridad Social [10], los accidentes por sobrecarga física ocupan el segundo lugar, correspondientes a 18.108 accidentes, que representan el 16% del total, fundamentalmente por sobreesfuerzos, manejo manual de cargas y trabajo dinámico.…”

Las lesiones músculo-esqueléticas tienen un costo considerable para el sistema de salud pública [1], es por ello que el objetivo del proyecto fue contribuir al mejoramiento del ambiente de trabajo en las pequeñas y medianas empresas (PYME), por medio de la determinación de los factores que influyen en las lesiones músculo-esqueléticas en las operaciones de manejo manual de cargas. Para ello se hizo uso del método MAC y de equipos de medición como los dinamómetros y relojes polar. Factores como el peso de las cargas, el traslado de éstas a lo largo de distancias mayores a los 150 m, además de la forma y tamaño de las mismas, aumentan la frecuencia cardiaca en los trabajadores. Los resultados obtenidos evidencian que las tareas de transporte, levantamiento y acomodo de los productos, son clasificadas como riesgo crítico, debido a que son realizadas de forma incorrecta por los trabajadores; siendo el principal riesgo el biomecánico, debido a peligros como las posturas inadecuadas y prolongadas, manejo de cargas por espacios reducidos y en locales con dimensiones insuficientes, aunados a las características personales como la escaza actividad física, y la forma en las que se realizan las tareas, en donde predomina el esfuerzo muscular dinámico. Esta información es la base para que, a nivel de locales del Mercado Central de Cartago se realice una evaluación de riesgos a detalle, que permita adoptar medidas necesarias en lo que concierne a la formación de métodos de trabajo y medios técnicos apropiados en el transporte y manejo de carga.

“…They are characterized by concomitant and nonconcomitant symptoms that comprise pain caused by inflammation, paresthesia, strength loss, fatigue, and difficulty or incapacity to perform certain movements [30,31]. This group of injuries occurs more frequently in works that require important physical activity, weight carrying, repetitive movements, application of forces and as a consequence of bad postures sustained over long periods of time [32].…”

It is widely known that students' exposure to poor postures due to inappropriate classroom furniture design may contribute to the increase of the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders symptoms that if not identified on time could lead to severe health issues. In this context, due to the unavailability of scientific studies related to this topic in Ecuador, the aim of this research is twofold. The first aim was to define the classroom furniture design parameters' dimensions for university students according to relevant anthropometric information. The second aim is to conduct a preliminary diagnostic of the appropriateness of classroom furniture currently used in Ecuadorian universities to students' anthropometric characteristics. The obtained results are particularly relevant as the ten design parameters here proposed could be the starting point to the creation of a specific Ecuadorian standard to regulate classroom furniture design for university students. That would ensure domestic and foreign manufacturers could offer furniture more secure and adequate to the anthropometric characteristics of the university population of Ecuador. On the other hand, the preliminary study found evidence that all the examined classroom furniture presented mismatches in at least five design parameters, and students exposed to them over the past twelve months had a high prevalence of symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders in the hips, back, thighs, and neck.
