Resumen

Introducción: El accidente laboral según la Organización Internacional del Trabajo se define como hecho enhorario laboral o en relación con este que cause una lesión mortal o no (1). Estos se clasifican en biológicos y no biológicos. Previo a la pandemia, el sector salud erael de mayor riesgo para accidentalidad laboral. Para el 2021 los factores de riesgo en el trabajo ocasionaron una pérdida de 90 millones de años de vida ajustados por discapacidad. El objetivo de este estudio es caracterizar la accidentalidad laboral de los trabajadores de una entidad hospitalaria de cuarto nivel en Bogotá D.C durante el periodo 2020 -2022. Metodología: Se realizó un análisis secundario de las bases de datos de reporte de accidentes laborales entre el periodo de enero de 2020 -junio de 2022, retrospectivo descriptivo de una cohorte.Se obtuvieron 652 registros, de los cuales se excluyeron 21 por falta de información. El análisis se realizó en EPI INFO 7®y Excel®. Resultados: El sexo femenino presenta más accidentes (78,92 %). El mayor reporte es entre los 20-39 años (media de 32.7 años). El 2020 fue el año con más accidentes. El accidente de mayor frecuencia fue no biológico (53,41 %), luego lesiones en piel (28,84 %) ybiológico (17,75 %). El servicio de urgencias fue el de mayor accidentalidad (19,97 %). El cargo más afectado fue auxiliar de enfermería (49,13 %). El tipo de lesión más frecuente fue la herida (25,67 %), seguido por contusión, golpe o aplastamiento (21,7 %). El principal agente fue el uso de materiales y sustancias (27,26 %) y la parte del cuerpo más reportada fue la mano (37,58 %).Conclusiones:La mayoría de los estudiosen el área identifican accidentes de tipo biológico, sin embargo, en este caso el riesgo no biológico fue el más frecuente. Así mismo, se reportaron lesiones en piel como nueva clasificación, debido al usode elementos de protección personal durante la pandemia de COVID-19. Se confirma la necesidad de establecer políticas que velen por la salud y la seguridad en el trabajo del personal sanitario.

abstract = "Introduction: Occupational accident according to the International Labor Organization is defined as an event during working hours or in connection with work that causes fatal or non-fatal injury (1). These are classified as biological and non-biological. Prior to the pandemic, the health sector was the most at risk for occupational accidents. By 2021, occupational risk factors caused a loss of 90 million disability-adjusted life years. The objective of this study is to characterize the occupational accident rate of workers in a fourth level hospital in Bogot{\'a} D.C. during the period 2020 - 2022. Methodology: A secondary analysis of the databases reporting occupational accidents between January 2020 - June 2022, retrospective descriptive cohort analysis was performed. A total of 652 records were obtained, of which 21 were excluded due to lack of information. The analysis was performed in EPI INFO 7{\textregistered} and Excel{\textregistered}. Results: The female sex presented more accidents (78.92%). The highest reporting is between 20-39 years of age (mean 32.7 years). The year 2020 was the year with the most accidents. The most frequent accident was non-biological (53.41 %), followed by skin injuries (28.84 %) and biological (17.75 %). The emergency department had the highest accident rate (19.97 %). The most affected position was nursing assistant (49.13 %). The most frequent type of injury was wound (25.67%), followed by contusion, blow or crushing (21.7%). The main agent was the use of materials and substances (27.26 %) and the most reported body part was the hand (37.58 %). Conclusions: Most studies in the area identify biological type accidents, however, in this case non-biological risk was the most frequent. Likewise, skin injuries were reported as a new classification, due to the use of personal protection elements during the COVID-19 pandemic. This confirms the need to establish policies to ensure the health and safety of healthcare personnel at work.",
