Estudio del riesgo ergonómico en los cirujanos generales del Hospital Clínica San Agustín vs Hospital General Manuel Ygnacio Monteros (IESS-Loja) y su relación con la calidad de atención en los servicios de salud para generar propuestas de mejora desde la administración

Abstract

Abstract:Some surgeons may present musculoskeletal disorders due to the intrinsic characteristics of their procedures (static postures, repetitive movements, among others), many of which are preventable from ergonomics. A specialist with pain can hardly develop his full potential, hence the importance of addressing it, which will determine actions to reduce these risks and improve the quality of care; In addition, there are no similar studies in our city, which strengthens the study. The project was based on an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, nonprobabilistic process, whose purpose was the study of ergonomic risk in surgeons at the Manuel Ygnacio Monteros Hospital and the San Agustín Hospital. Six professionals were studied, subjective (Corlette and EVA) and objective (REBA) tools were applied. It was possible to characterize the subjects and procedures. The results were analyzed in the PSPP software based on the P of significance and chi-square. It was concluded that all have surgical risk in different graduations but there are no significant associations between variables. The results were presented to the authorities in order to implement different strategies to reduce or eliminate these risks.
