Identificación de factores de riesgo psicosocial en una clínica de alta complejidad

The purpose of this research study was to identify the psychosocial in-workplace and outof-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-ofworkplace 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 outof-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
