Abstract

Abstract: This research aimed to identify psychosocial risk factors in workers in the public and private health sector of the city of Quito during 2021. The methodology used is descriptive, cross-sectional, non-experimental, quantitative and exploratory. The participants were a total of 40 individuals working in public and private hospitals, specifically, 20 national professionals and 20 foreigners, to whom the following instruments were applied virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic: Ad Hoc Questionnaire, Maslach Chronic Work Stress Inventory [MBI-GS], Copenhagen Psycho social Questionnaire (CoPsoQ-III), Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ), Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales (DASS 21), UCLA Loneliness Scale, and the Resilience Scale (RS). The results allowed to identify as main psychosocial risk factors psychological demands, compensation at work and high perception of loneliness, being the variables that most predominate in the sample investigated. In addition, control over work, resilience and psychological capital were evidenced as positive variables. It is important to carry out future research such as the present one for greater knowledge and intervention.
