Resumen
GALARZA IGLESIAS, Ana M.; ZAPATA ALBAN, María P. y ROJAS FAJARDO, Aida J.. Workers with medical restrictions and their perception of free time. Rev. repub. [online]. 2023, n.34, pp.77-90. Epub 05-Oct-2023. ISSN 1909-4450. https://doi.org/10.21017/rev.repub.2023.v34.a138.
Objective:
To explore the perception of the use of free time by a group of workers with medical restrictions.
Methodology:
The analysis was based on interpretative phenomenology with in-depth interviews with 8 workers with medical restrictions.
Results:
Workers perceive the use of their free time in three contexts: health entities, the company and the home-family; where each space is configured as an extension of the medical service to continue with health care. The time they have outside their working day is not used for rest and leisure activities, but for health care activities.
Conclusion:
In the face of a health condition that generates restrictions, the existence of a transition from the activities that are performed in the area of leisure time to those that are focused on the area of self-care is identified, which generates an occupational imbalance and the risk of acquiring a disability.
