Responsabilidad Social Universitaria Un Actor Ignorado: El Personal No Docente

El momento histórico que viven los países en Latinoamérica, está reclamando con urgencia el aporte de la educación superior. En este sentido el presente trabajo muestra los resultados de una investigación llevada a cabo con un grupo de actores universitarios, personal no docente, de cinco universidades de América Latina. El objetivo fue conocer las creencias que sobre el ámbito organizacional de la RSU, tienen 350 personas vinculadas al sector administrativo de cinco universidades de América Latina: Católica de Colombia, Loja de Ecuador, Tecnológica de Paraguay, Yucatán de México y Francisco Gavidia de El Salvador. Se aplicó la encuesta elaborada para tal fin, por Valleys, De la Cruz y Sasia (2009) de cinco dimensiones, ajustada para este propósito. Los resultados muestran que la valoración más positiva de los participantes, se ubica en el componente denominado relaciones interpersonales con 4.71 en la opción de acuerdo. Este proceso básico y fundamental en la vida y construcción socio- afectiva de las personas, da cuenta del grado en que influimos y somos influidos por el comportamiento de los demás, de ahí su importancia para la materialización de los planteamientos de la Responsabilidad social universitaria.

Resultados: la tercera parte de los docentes evaluados conocen sobre riesgo biológico y bioseguridad y en un porcentaje menor se evidenció la aplicación de prácticas de bioseguridad. No se observaron relaciones estadísticamente significativas entre conocimiento en riesgo biológico y bioseguridad y tipo de vinculación y antigüedad docente. Discusión: los docentes reconocen la exposición al riesgo biológico, pero preocupa la baja utilización de medidas de bioseguridad y de procedimientos recomendados para prevenir accidentes. Conclusiones: se espera que los docentes del área de la salud tengan un alto conocimiento sobre riesgo biológico y aplicación de normas de bioseguridad, pero esta investigación demostró las deficiencias en este tema por la población estudiada.

Methodology: a descriptive, cross-sectional study with a sample of 78 professors who were interviewed personally at their workplaces. Variables regarding knowledge of the concept that the teachers have of biological risk and biosafety were evaluated. Likewise, the variable of practices with regards to biosafety regulation compliance was also evaluated. Results: One third of the assessed professors are familiar with biological risks and biosafety. A lesser percentage applies biosafety practices. No statistically significant relationships between knowledge of biological risks and biosafety and the type of contract and seniority were observed. Discussion: professors are aware of their exposure to biological risk; however, the low usage of biosafety measures and procedures recommended to prevent accidents is a matter of concern. Conclusions: Professors working in the field of health are expected to have a deep understanding of biological risks and the application of biosafety standards, yet this study showed a lack of knowledge of this issue among the studied population.
