a cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out, the study population consisted of fifty-seven workers in the health care area, a battery of instruments was used for the evaluation of psychosocial risk factors designed by the Ministry of Social Protection of Colombia.
Results.
the average age is 34.2 years, 52% belongs to the technical education level, with a predominance of the female gender. The predominant civil status with 46% is single, 44% live in stratum 2. The majority (74%) of the workers consider that their boss always provides or almost the possibility of having contact with him. Always have good relationship and support from their peers, 61% feel they have no control over the time and amount of work they do. The payment of the salary is not punctual and the workers have very little possibility of promotion and also feel that the company very rarely worries about their well-being. The prevalence of the highest level of risk corresponded to 76% due to an excess of workload, due to a high mental stress requirement of 75% and related to poor control over work by 57%. Workers are exposed to long hours of work, little rest time, tiredness and lack of sleep for nightly hours, poor interaction with the family and constant contact with situations of extreme suffering and pain.
