Factores de riesgo psicosociales que influyen en el comportamiento suicida en las personas privadas de la libertad en Colombia / Psychosocial risk factors that influence suicidal behavior in people deprived of liberty in Colombia

Resumen Objetivo: Identificar los factores de riesgo psicosocial y las características que los componen; que a su vez repercuten en el comportamiento suicida, en los privados de la libertad de Colombia, para mejorar la atención psicológica que se lleva a cabo en los centros penitenciarios. Método: Articulo de revisión documental, de tipo cualitativo, realizado a través de una recolección, revisión y análisis de 55 documentos; de los cuales se seleccionaron 13 artículos que cumplían con los criterios de inclusión y exclusión previamente establecidos. Durante la investigación se tiene en cuenta la elaboración y distinción del documento, de acuerdo a la recolección y organización de la información obtenida a través de bases de datos como Scielo, Scopus, Oxford, Science Direct, Redalyc, Pubmed, entre otros, por lo tanto, se discriminaron las categorías y subcategorías desarrolladas durante la indagación correspondientes al tema a trabajar. Resultados: Se identificaron los factores de riesgo psicosociales fundamentales como: prisionización, vínculo familiar o afectivo, consumo de sustancias psicoactivas, proyecto de vida, problemas psicológicos y tiempo de condena; que presenta la población penitenciaria a nivel mundial, los cuales se tienen en cuenta para reducir las tasas de comportamiento suicida en el ámbito carcelario. Conclusiones: En la revisión documental se logró identificar cuáles son los factores de riesgo que permitan detectar a tiempo el comportamiento suicida en las personas privadas de la libertad, teniendo en cuenta que la población carcelaria a nivel mundial va en aumento y el comportamiento suicida es catalogado como un problema grave de salud pública; se evidenció la falta de existencia de información para la investigación con base a la atención psicosocial que se le brinda a las personas privadas de la libertad alrededor de los factores de riesgos psicosociales que influyen en el comportamiento suicida; por tal razón es importante investigar a profundidad acerca de los factores protectores que pueden prevenir el suicidio en la población.

Abstract Objective: To identify the characteristics that make up the psychosocial risk factors that have an impact on suicidal behavior in Colombian prisoners, in order to improve the psychological care provided in penitentiaries. Method: Documentary review article, of qualitative type, carried out through a collection, review and analysis of 50 documents; of which 13 articles were selected for the elaboration of the results. During the research, the elaboration and distinction of the document is taken into account, according to the collection and organization of information collected through databases such as Scielo, Scopus, Oxford, Science Direct, Redalyc, Pubmed, among others, Therefore, the categories and subcategories developed during the investigation corresponding to the topic to work are discriminated. Results: Key psychosocial risk factors were identified, such as: prison ionization, family or affective bond, use of psychoactive substances, life plan, psychological problems and time of sentence; presented by the prison population worldwide, which are taken into account to reduce suicide rates in prison settings. Conclusions: The documentary review identifies the risk factors and protective factors that allow the timely detection of suicidal behaviour in persons deprived of their liberty, taking into account that some of the risk factors may also be protective factors, such as family ties, the life plan, the process of imprisonment and the time of sentence, and other factors if they are highly relevant because of their risk in suicidal behavior; such as substance use and psychological problems.

Relación entre características sociodemográficas, obstétricas y psicosociales con el desenlace del parto prematuro en un hospital de alta complejidad / Relationship between sociodemographic, obstetric and psychosocial characteristics with the outcome of premature delivery in a highly complex hospital

INTRODUCCIÓN: La prematuridad es un grave problema de salud pública por la morbilidad, la mortalidad y los costos a ella asociados. OBJETIVO: Evaluar la relación entre las características sociodemográficas, obstétricas y psicosociales con el desenlace de parto prematuro frente a partos de término en el Hospital Guillermo Grant Benavente de Concepción, Chile, entre el segundo semestre de 2016 y el primer semestre de 2017. MÉTODO: Estudio cuantitativo, observacional, de tipo caso-control. La muestra la constituyeron 84 mujeres con parto prematuro y 85 con parto de término. Se utilizó un cuestionario de elaboración propia y la escala de Evaluación Psicosocial Abreviada (EPsA). El estudio fue aprobado por el comité ético científico. Se realizó análisis bivariado, con un nivel de significancia a = 0,05. Los datos se analizaron con el software estadístico SPSS v.25.0. RESULTADOS: No hubo diferencias en los antecedentes sociodemográficos (edad, nivel socioeconómico, estado civil y escolaridad) entre ambos grupos. Solo las mujeres con parto prematuro mantenían en mayor porcentaje que las gestantes de término un trabajo remunerado (43,4% vs. 25,9%). El estado nutricional y el antecedente de parto prematuro previo no se asociaron a un nuevo parto antes de las 37 semanas. La interrupción por cesárea fue significativamente más frecuente en las gestaciones de pretérmino que en el grupo control (p = 0,0377). CONCLUSIONES: En la población estudiada, las características sociodemográficas de las gestantes no tuvieron relación con el desenlace prematuro de la gestación. Algunos factores biomédicos se relacionan significativamente con este riesgo. Es necesario evaluar la pertinencia de aplicar escalas psicosociales en esta población y enfocar los esfuerzos para promover el control preconcepcional en mujeres con antecedentes de parto prematuro o comorbilidad.

INTRODUCTION: Prematurity is a serious public health problem due to morbidity, mortality and associated costs. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between sociodemographic, obstetric and psychosocial characteristics with the outcome of premature birth versus term births at the Guillermo Grant Benavente Hospital in Concepción, Chile, between the second semester of 2016 and the first semester of 2017. METHOD: Quantitative, observational case-control study. The sample consisted of 85 women with premature delivery and 85 with term delivery. A self-elaborated questionnaire and Abbreviated Psychosocial Assessment scale (EPsA) were used. The study was approved by the scientific ethics committee. Bivariate and multivariate analysis was performed, with a level of significance a = 0.05. The data were analyzed with the statistical software SPSS v.25.0. RESULTS: There were no differences between the sociodemographic antecedents (age, socioeconomic level, marital status and education) between both groups. Only women with preterm birth had a higher percentage of paid work than full-term pregnant women (43.4% vs. 25.9%). Nutritional status and a history of previous preterm birth were not associated with a new delivery before 37 weeks. Interruption by cesarean section was significantly more frequent in preterm pregnancies than in the control group (p = 0.0377). CONCLUSIONS: In the studied population, the sociodemographic characteristics of the pregnant women were not related to the premature outcome of pregnancy. Biomedical factors are significantly related to this risk. It is necessary to evaluate the relevance of applying psychosocial scales in this population and to focus efforts to promote preconception control in women with a history of preterm birth and/or comorbidities.

Autoeficácia ocupacional, fatores de risco psicossocial do trabalho e mal-estar físico e psicológico / Occupational self-efficacy, psychosocial risk factors at work and physical and psychological malaise / Autoeficacia ocupacional, factores de riesgo psicosocial del trabajo y malestar físico e psicológico

Cresce o interesse da gestão de saúde ocupacional em compreender melhor as relações entre fatores de risco psicossociais do trabalho (FRP), o adoecimento e as variáveis que contribuem para esta relação. O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar o efeito mediador da autoeficácia ocupacional (AEO) na relação entre FRP e sintomas de mal-estar físico e psicológico (MFP). Os instrumentos utilizados foram uma versão reduzida do COPSOQ II (Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire) e de uma escala de AEO, ambos com evidências de validade para o contexto brasileiro. Trata-se de um estudo transversal de caráter exploratório, do qual participaram 391 trabalhadores industriais. Os resultados indicaram mediação da AEO na explicação da relação entre FRP e MFP. Foram encontradas diferenças em função do sexo, nível educacional, cargo e status do emprego. Adicionalmente, discutem-se implicações teóricas e práticas.

There is growing interest of the occupational health professionals on the relationships among psychosocial risk factors at work (PRF), sickness and the determinants of this relationship. The aim of this study was to assess the mediating effect of occupational self-efficacy (OSE) on the relationship between PRF and symptoms of physical and psychological malaise (PPM). Instruments were an short version of COPSOQ II (Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire) and an OSE scale, both with evidence of validity for the Brazilian context. This is an exploratory cross-sectional study involving 391 industrial workers. Results indicated the mediation of OSE in the explanation of the relationship between PRF and PPM. Also differences according to gender, educational level, job title and employment status were found. Additionally, theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Factores psicosociales que influyen en el ausentismo: Evaluación de un modelo explicativo / Work psychosocial conditions influencing on absenteeism: Evaluation of an explicative model

Resumen El objetivo del presente estudio es evaluar un modelo explicativo del ausentismo laboral, con base en la relación entre los factores de riesgo psicosocial y la mediación de la percepción de relaciones sociales y del estrés laboral; este se conformó con base en las predicciones de modelos teóricos como Demandas-Control, Desbalance Esfuerzo-Recompensas y Apoyo Social, implícitos en el instrumento usado, así como en los antecedentes de investigación consultados. Para ello, se lleva a cabo un modelado con ecuaciones estructurales con los datos de medición de riesgo psicosocial y ausentismo hecha con 252 trabajadores de una compañía agroindustrial del departamento del Cesar en Colombia; fue aplicada la Batería de Riesgo Psicosocial de Villalobos, Vargas, Rondón y Felknor (2013a, 2013b). Con base en los indicadores de bondad de ajuste, se descartó el modelo teórico inicial, así como otros dos modelos planteados, por lo que se afirma que solo algunas formas específicas de ausentismo son determinadas por el estrés laboral producto de la conjunción de riesgo ante relaciones interpersonales y demandas laborales, combinado con riesgo proveniente de condiciones extralaborales. La inclusión de las relaciones interpersonales en el modelo es totalmente esperable con base en los hallazgos de diferentes investigaciones precedentes. Por otro lado, la exclusión del factor control sobre el trabajo fue inesperada, pues en estudios antecedentes esta guardó mayor relación con el ausentismo que las demandas del trabajo. Se discute sobre las limitaciones del estudio y sobre la necesidad de complejizar en Colombia la investigación sobre la relación del riesgo psicosocial con otros constructos psicológicos y con las consecuencias organizacionales.

Abstract The purpose of this study is to evaluate an explanatory model of work absenteeism, based on the relationship between psychosocial risk factors and the mediation of the perception of social relationships and work stress. This was based on the predictions of theoretical models such as Demands-Control, Unbalance Effort-Rewards and Social Support, implicit in the instrument used; as well as in the research background consulted. It is justified principally by the impact that absenteeism has on the stability of organizations and the relevance of its prediction for the Psychology of Work and Organizations. For the fulfillment of the objective, a modeling SEM is carried out with the psychosocial risk and absenteeism measurement data made with 252 workers of an agro-industrial company of the department of Cesar in Colombia; 96 % of participants were men, with an average age of 35 years, the majority did not complete secondary studies, 89 % were in operational positions, the majority in indefinite hiring; workers less than 6 months old had been excluded. The Psychosocial Risk Battery of Colombian researchers Villalobos, Vargas, Rondón, y Felknor (2013a, 2013b) was applied. This is one of the few validated and standardized instruments on Colombian population that measures psychosocial risk globally and conforms to the definitions legally accepted in the country regarding such occupational hazards. This battery measures workers' perception of intra-occupational risk factors, in particular, demands for work, control over work, social relations and leadership, as well as rewards and recognition for work; Likewise, it evaluates the extra-labor psychosocial risk associated with working conditions, as well as symptoms of work-related stress. The path analysis was executed using statistical software SPSS v25 and AMOS v24; the goodness-of-fit for the models was verified with indicators CMIN/DF, CFI, TLI y RMSEA; the correlations coefficients between variables and the function "modification Indices" of AMOS was operated to specify the appropriate model to the data. Based on goodness-of-fit measures, the initial theoretical model was discarded. In a second model, the mediating role of the social relations factor is ruled out and Unjustified Absenteeism, Non-Remunerated Absenteeism and Work Accident Absenteeism were excluded, but the adjustment of the model was not adequate either. In a third model, the factors Control on Work and Rewards were also excluded, although the fourth model, that inlayed correlations between de independent variables was the one who had the best goodness of fit; so, it is affirmed that only some specific forms of absenteeism are determined by work-related stress due to the arrangement of risk before interpersonal relationships and labor demands, combined with risk from extra-labor conditions. The inclusion of interpersonal relationships in the model is fully expected based on the findings of different previous investigations. On the other hand, the exclusion of the control factor over work was unexpected, since in previous studies it was more related to absenteeism than the demands of work. It is suggested that the findings should be taken with caution, given the limitations of the research, in particular, the homogeneity of the participants and the lack of comparability with other productive contexts; However, the relevance of the study is sustained in the fact that it is one of the first attempts in the country that uses explanatory models to establish the effects of psychosocial risk factors on organizational outcomes. Complementing the above, the possibility of using the Psychosocial Risk Battery together with the measurement of other important organizational outcomes such as presenteeism, motivation and job satisfaction, job performance and productivity, organizational commitment, accident rate in the workplace, among others, are also considered to empirically validate various models exposed in theory or corroborated in other countries and productive sectors.

Factores de riesgo psicosocial que afectan el comportamiento de escolares hospitalizados en la unidad de cuidados intermedios del Servicio Desconcentrado Hospital Pediátrico Dr. Agustín Zubillaga / Psychosocial risk factors that affect schoolchildren behavior hospitalized in the intermediate care unit of the Servicio Desconcentrado Hospital Pediatrico Dr. Agustin Zubillaga

El bienestar en niños hospitalizados constituye un reto para las ciencias médicas. Con el objetivo de determinar los factores de riesgo psicosocial que afectan el comportamiento en escolares hospitalizados en la Unidad de Cuidados Intermedios del Servicio Desconcentrado Hospital Pediátrico Dr. Agustín Zubillaga, se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal en 60 pacientes durante el mes de febrero del 2019. Se observó un predominio de escolares femeninos, con una edad alrededor de los 11 años, con enfermedad aguda y un tiempo de hospitalización > 7 días, con temperamento suelto que no cambió durante la hospitalización, nivel medio de autocontrol y con comportamiento de dependencia expresado en temor a la separación filial y a personas desconocidas. Predominó la sobreprotección a pesar del bajo porcentaje de estrés parenteral. Se observó buena interacción con el personal de salud y colaboración durante los procedimientos médicos aunque se mantuvo la reacción de temor; en general, los padres refieren haber recibido suficiente información acerca de la enfermedad de su hijo. Los factores de riesgo psicosocial debes ser reconocidos por los servicios prestadores de salud por su potencial efecto negativo sobre el comportamiento, salud física y mental de los menores hospitalizados(AU)

Welfare in hospitalized children is a challenge for medical sciences. With the aim to determine psychosocial risk factors that affect behavior in schoolchildren hospitalized in the Intermediate Care Unit of the Servicio Desconcentrado Hospital Pediatrico Dr. Agustin Zubillaga, a descriptive transversal study was carried out in 60 schoolchildren hospitalized in February 2019. The sample consisted of predominantly female schoolchildren with an average age of 11 years old, with acute disease and a hospital stay > 7 days, with easy temperament that did not change during hospitalization, medium level of self-control and a dependency behavior expressed as separation anxiety and fear of unknown people. Overprotection with low parental stress was observed. A good interaction with health personnel as well as collaboration (with fear) during medical procedures was present in most children. Parents manifested to be well informed about the health of their child. The presence of psychosocial risk factors during hospitalization should be recognized by health care services for its potential negative effect on behavior, mental and physical health of children(AU)

The Correlation Between Psychosocial Risk Factors And Work Performance In Manufacturing Industry

@#Nature of psychosocial risk as to the unseen hazards in the working population, potentially exposing the workers towards the adverse effect of mental health. Compromising the well- being of mental health could lead to deterioration of work performance. The objective of this study is to analyze the constructed measure of psychosocial risk factors and work performance of manufacturing workers using statistical analysis. Then, the constructed measure is used to find the correlations between the two factors. A set of the questionnaire is administered to 258 manufacturing workers. The questionnaires were adapted and adopted from Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ III), NIOSH Generic Job Stress Questionnaire, and Individual Work Performance Questionnaire (IWPQ 1.0) and the instrument were found to be reliable (Cronbach Alpha value = 0.7 ). After conducting Exploratory Factor Analysis by using Principal Component Analysis, the construct validity to conduct data collection in the manufacturing industry is tested. Using eight factors understudy that already extracted using factor analysis, it is found that there are significant psychosocial risk factors present in the manufacturing industry. As for the association between psychosocial and work performance, it is found that there is a significant association between psychosocial risk factors and work performance. This study is essential to explore the presence of psychosocial risk factors that underlies in the manufacturing industry, which might affect worker performance and well-being. For future research, it is recommended so that this study can be replicated to other manufacturing industry or different types of industries to see the robustness of the developed instruments. At the same time, the issue of psychosocial risk factors and workers' performance also can be identified, and the mitigation can be planned.

Management of psychosocial risks?: An S. O. S in cuban organizations / Gestão de riscos psicossociais?: Um S. O. S em organizações cubanas / ¿Gestión de riesgos psicosociales?: Un S. O. S en organizaciones cubanas

This article aims to motivate reflection on the need to manage risks and psychosocial risk factors within the health and safety systems in Cuban organizations. It is based on the critical analysis of the authors about the Cuban regulatory framework on health and safety, the bibliographic review and the experiences accumulated in consulting work. Several arguments support the need to manage risks and psychosocial risk factors in Cuban organizations. These include: its prevalence as a result of the changes engendered by the organization of work, the harmful consequences for the health of the workers and the organization, the complexity of their management and the lack of knowledge about them displayed by the labor community. All this forces us to give them greater visibility and importance in safety and health management practices, in order to guarantee the sustainability of our organizations.

Este artigo tem como objetivo incentivar a reflexão sobre a necessidade de gerenciar riscos e fatores de risco psicossociais no âmbito dos sistemas de segurança e saúde em organizações cubanas. Baseia-se na análise crítica dos autores sobre o quadro regulamentar cubano para a segurança e a saúde, revisão da literatura e experiência acumulada no trabalho de consultoria. Vários argumentos sustentam a necessidade de gerenciar riscos e fatores de risco psicossociais nas organizações cubanas, incluindo sua prevalência, produto das modificações engendradas pela organização do trabalho, as consequências nefastas para a saúde dos trabalhadores e da organização, a complexidade de sua gestão e a falta de conhecimento sobre eles mostrado pela comunidade de trabalho. Tudo isso requer dar-lhes maior visibilidade e importância nas práticas de gestão de segurança e saúde, a fim de garantir a sustentabilidade das nossas organizações.

Se basa en el análisis crítico de los autores acerca del marco regulatorio cubano en materia de seguridad y salud, la revisión bibliográfica y las experiencias acumuladas en labores de consultoría. Varios argumentos sostienen la necesidad de gestionar los factores y riesgos psicosociales en las organizaciones cubanas. Entre ellos: su prevalencia producto de las modificaciones engendradas por la organización del trabajo, las consecuencias nocivas que conllevan para la salud de los trabajadores y la organización, la complejidad de su gestión y el desconocimiento sobre ellos mostrado por la comunidad laboral. Todo ello obliga a otorgarles mayor visibilidad e importancia en las prácticas de gestión de seguridad y salud, en aras de garantizar la sostenibilidad de nuestras organizaciones.

The Third Version of the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire

INTRODUCTION: A new third version of the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ III) has been developed in response to trends in working life, theoretical concepts, and international experience. A key component of the COPSOQ III is a defined set of mandatory core items to be included in national short, middle, and long versions of the questionnaire. The aim of the present article is to present and test the reliability of the new international middle version of the COPSOQ III.METHODS: The questionnaire was tested among 23,361 employees during 2016–2017 in Canada, Spain, France, Germany, Sweden, and Turkey. A total of 26 dimensions (measured through scales or single items) of the middle version and two from the long version were tested. Psychometric properties of the dimensions were assessed regarding reliability (Cronbach α), ceiling and floor effects (fractions with extreme answers), and distinctiveness (correlations with other dimensions).RESULTS: Most international middle dimensions had satisfactory reliability in most countries, though some ceiling and floor effects were present. Dimensions with missing values were rare. Most dimensions had low to medium intercorrelations.CONCLUSIONS: The COPSOQ III offers reliable and distinct measures of a wide range of psychosocial dimensions of modern working life in different countries; although a few measures could be improved. Future testing should focus on validation of the COPSOQ items and dimensions using both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Such investigations would enhance the basis for recommendations using the COPSOQ III.

Riesgos psicosociales en trabajadores de una escuela de bioanálisis de una universidad pública venezolana / Psychosocial risk factors in workers at a bioanalysis school in a venezuelan public university

Se identificó y evaluó los Riesgos Psicosociales en trabajadores de una Escuela de Bioanálisis de una universidad pública venezolana. La investigación realizada fue descriptiva y de corte transversal. El diseño del estudio se llevó a cabo considerando la metodología CoPsoQ-istas21 (versión 2.0, año 2010). La muestra estuvo constituida por 75 trabajadores, el 85,3% de la población fueron Mujeres y el 14,7% Hombres. Los Riesgos Psicosociales identificados en general en la Situación más Desfavorable (Peligro) para la salud fueron: Ritmo de trabajo (80,8% de la población), Inseguridad en las condiciones de trabajo (54,9%) e Inseguridad sobre el empleo (38%), en Situación Intermedia (Alarma) principalmente la Doble presencia (52,7%), y en la Situación más Favorable al Reconocimiento (98,6%). Se observó en las Mujeres la mayor prevalencia en la Situación más Desfavorable, al igual que los Empleados Administrativos. En relación al Estrés laboral, fueron las Mujeres (3,2%) y los Empleados Administrativos (5,8%) quienes se encontraron en la Situación más Desfavorable. El 29% de los trabajadores consideró su salud buena, muy buena (40%), y excelente el 19%. El 64% de la población se halló satisfecha con su trabajo, y 27% muy satisfecha. En general la gran mayoría de las dimensiones estudiadas para determinar los Riesgos Psicosociales se encontraron en una Situación Favorable (Segura) para la salud. Para minimizar y prevenir los Riesgos Psicosociales en la Escuela se hace necesario implementar acciones basadas en el mejoramiento del Modelo de Gestión que pudieran ayudar a mejorar el ambiente y las condiciones de trabajo(AU)

We identified and evaluation psychosocial risk factors in a collective of workers at a Bioanalysis School in a Venezuelan public university, using a descriptive, cross-sectional study design.. The psychosocial risk factor profile was assessed using the CoPsoQ-ISTAS21 method (version 2.0, 2010). Seventy-five workers were assessed;85.3% were women and 14.7% were men. The main psychosocial risk factors leading to an unsafe ("Danger") situation we identified were fast work pace(80.8%), unsafe working conditions (54.9%), and job insecurity (38%). The main risk factor leading to an intermediate ("Alarm") situation was dual job roles (52.7%), and recognition (98.6%) represented a favorable situation. Women and administrative personnel had a higher prevalence of being in an unfavorable situation. With regards to work stress, women (3.2%) and administrative personnel (5.8%) were also more likely to be in an unfavorable situation. Twenty-nine per cent of workers considered their health to be good or very good (40%), and another 19% considered it to be excellent. In terms of work, 64% of respondents were satisfied with their work, and 27% were very satisfied. In general, most of the dimensions studied in relation to selfreported health were in the Favorable Situation (Safe) category. To minimize and prevent psychosocial risk factors, and improve the work environment and conditions in this type of academic environment, it is necessary to implement actions based on better use of the management model(AU)

Tailoring Psychosocial Risk Assessment in the Oil and Gas Industry by Exploring Specific and Common Psychosocial Risks

BACKGROUND: Psychosocial risk management [Psychosocial Risk Management Approach (PRIMA)] has, through the years, been applied in several organizations in various industries and countries globally. PRIMA principles have also been translated into international frameworks, such as PRIMA-EF (European framework) and the World Health Organization Healthy Workplace Framework. Over the past 10 years, an oil and gas company has put efforts into adopting and implementing international frameworks and standards for psychosocial risk management. More specifically, the company uses a PRIMA. METHODS: This study explores available quantitative and qualitative risk data collected through the PRIMA method over the past 8 years in order to explore specific and common psychosocial risks in the petroleum industry. RESULTS: The analyses showed a significant correlation between job resources and symptoms of workrelated stress, there was a significant correlation between job demands and symptoms of work-related stress, and there were differences in psychosocial risk factors and symptoms of work-related stress onshore and offshore. The study also offers recommendations on how the results can further be utilized in building a robust system for managing psychosocial risks in the industry. CONCLUSION: The results from the analyses have provided meaningful and important information about the company-specific psychosocial risk factors and their impact on health and well-being.

Potencialidades e desafios no trabalho com crianças em situação de risco: reflexões Winnicottianas / Potentialities and challenges in working with children at risk: thoughts based on Winnicott's theory / Posibilidades y desafíos en el trabajo con niños en situación de riesgo: reflexiones desde las aportaciones de Winnicott

O artigo apresenta reflexões com base na teoria winnicottiana, que puderam ser realizadas a partir da atuação de uma das autoras como psicóloga no Núcleo Integrado de Apoio Psicossocial das Varas da Infância e Juventude (NIAPVIJ) do Foro Central da Comarca da Região Metropolitana de Curitiba. Além disso, o trabalho repercute algumas das conclusões alcançadas com a pesquisa de Mestrado da mesma autora. Inicialmente, é oferecido um panorama da proposta municipal de atendimento às crianças e aos adolescentes em situação de risco, assim como a legislação que sustenta essa proposta. Na sequência, é realizada uma reflexão sobre a função do ambiente no desenvolvimento emocional primitivo e, com base no método psicanalítico - que propõe um pensamento singular sobre cada caso -, são expostas algumas inquietações despertadas pelo acompanhamento de crianças e suas famílias em tais situações e também as reverberações teóricas que elas provocam. Destaca-se que as reflexões aqui propostas colocam em evidência o posicionamento profissional que, como é sabido, deve ser sustentado por uma teoria, ainda que não se prenda a ela de forma mecanicista. Ainda a esse respeito, propõe-se que essa práxis tenha como pressuposto básico a ideia de que o ambiente é facilitador do desenvolvimento emocional, tal como disposto por Winnicott. Nesse sentido, ele não se restringe a um rígido estabelecimento de padrões impostos com o propósito de sobrepor etapas a serem atingidas pelas crianças, em seu processo de desenvolvimento, e pelos seus pais. Ao contrário, esse ambiente é entendido a partir da ideia de que deve oferecer um espaço confiável no qual os potenciais das crianças possam se desenvolver e sua subjetividade emergir.

The text presents a professional experience held in the Psychosocial Support Unit for Children and Adolescents (NIAPVIJ) of Central Court of Curitiba and also some thoughts that came into view from that practice as well as echoes some of the conclusions achieved with the Master's research by the same author, based on Winnicott's theory. Initially, it is presented an overview of the municipal proposal of care to children and adolescents at risk, as well as the legislation that supports this proposal. Following on, thoughts on the environmental function on the emotional development are exposed and, based on the psychoanalytical method - which proposes a singular thought about each case - the concerns aroused by accompanying children and their families in such situations and also the theoretical reverberations they cause are discussed. The reflections proposed here put in evidence the professional positioning, which must be supported by a theory, though not cling to it mechanically. In that matter, it is proposed that this practice has as basic premise the idea that the environment is facilitating to emotional development, as provided by Winnicott. In this sense, it is not restricted to a rigid setting of standards to be followed by children, in the course of their development, and by their parents. On the contrary, it should rather provide them a reliable space where their potential can be developed and subjectivity can emerge.

El artículo presenta reflexiones basadas en la teoría de Winnicott que se pueden realizar a partir del trabajo de una de las autoras como psicóloga de la Unidad de Apoyo Psicosocial de las Jurísdicciones para Niños y Jóvenes (NIAPVIJ) del Foro Central de la Comarca de la Región metropolitana de Curitiba. Además de eso, el trabajo refleja algunas conclusiones obtenidas en la investigación de Maestría por la misma autora. Inicialmente, esofrecida una visión general de la propuesta municipal de atención a los niños y adolescentes en situación de riesgo, así como la legislación que apoya esta propuesta. Después, se hace una reflexión sobre la función ambiental en el desarrollo emocional primitivo y, con base en el método psicoanalítico - que propone un pensamiento singular en cada caso - se exponen algunas de las preocupaciones suscitadas por el acompañamientoa de los niños y sus familias en este tipo de situaciones y también las reverberaciones teóricas que causan. Es de destacar que las reflexiones que aquí se proponen ponen en evidencia el posicionamiento profesional que, como es sabido, deben ser apoyadas por una teoría, aunque no ajuste a ella de forma mecanicista. Incluso en este sentido, se propone que esta práctica tenga como premisa básica la idea de que el medio ambiente está facilitando el desarrollo emocional, según lo dispuesto por Winnicott. En ese sentido, no se limita a unas rígidas normas de estándares impuestas con el propósito de sobreponer estapas a ser alcanzadas por los niños, en su proceso de desarrollo, y por sus padres. Al contrario, ese ambiente es entendido a partir de la idea que debe ofrecer un espacio confiable en el cual los potenciales de los niños puedan desarrollarse y su subjetividad emerger.

Estandarización de una batería para la evaluación de factores de riesgo psicosociales laborales en trabajadores colombianos / Standardization of a battery of tests to assess psychosocial risk factors at the workplace among Colombian workers / Padronização de uma bateria para a avaliação de fatores de risco psicossociais trabalhistas em trabalhadores colombianos

En 2010 se desarrolló una batería de instrumentos para evaluar factores psicosociales laborales de riesgo para la salud, en respuesta a la Resolución 2646 de 2008 del Ministerio de la Protección Social de Colombia. Sin embargo, esta cuenta con algunas limitaciones que, a partir de la construcción y validación de una nueva batería, en el presente estudio se buscan superar. La nueva batería ofrece, recursos adicionales para la evaluación de estos factores: incorpora los instrumentos e indicadores centrales de los modelos demanda-control-apoyo social y desequilibrio esfuerzo-recompensa, y los factores intralaborales no contemplados en dichos modelos, pero que la Resolución considera necesarios, se midieron con pruebas preexistentes o desarrolladas por los autores. Con los datos recolectados es posible calcular indicadores globales de demanda, control y apoyo social; además de condiciones familiares y sociales de riesgo, afrontamiento, personalidad e indicadores de salud y bienestar. Para la validación, la batería se aplicó a una muestra de 16.095 trabajadores de diferentes ocupaciones y municipios colombianos. Los análisis de consistencia interna y validez permiten afirmar que la batería es sencilla de aplicar en papel o por computador, permitirá comparar ocupaciones, obtener puntuaciones unificadas por variable, ofrecer un diagnóstico de un número importante de las variables sugeridas en la Resolución y comparar los resultados de los trabajadores colombianos con los de otros países.

A battery of questionnaires to assess psychosocial risk factors at work was developed in 2010 in response to Resolution 2646 created by the Colombian Ministry of Social Protection. However, this battery presents some theoretical and practical limitations. A new battery of instruments has been designed and validated that includes instruments and risk indicators of the demand-control-social support and the effort-reward imbalance models. Other factors, not included in these models, but that Resolution 2646 suggests should be assessed, have also been added, and with this additional information, the new battery allows us to also calculate a "global indicator" of demand, control, and social support; family and social risk conditions, coping and personality; and health and wellbeing. The new battery was administered to a sample of 16,095 workers from different occupations and representative Colombian regions. An analysis of the various domains indicates that internal consistency of the various scales is high. The new battery has the following properties: it is simple to use in paper format or when administered by computer, it enables comparison between occupations, it offers unified scores for each variable, and provides information to assess the risk factors suggested by resolution 2646. In addition, it will make it possible to compare the results obtained when analyzing Colombian workers with those obtained from studies of workers from other countries.

Em 2010, desenvolveu-se uma bateria de instrumentos para avaliar fatores psicossociais trabalhistas de risco para a saúde, em resposta à Resolução 2 646 do Ministério da Proteção Social da Colômbia. Contudo, esta conta com algumas limitações que, a partir da construção e da validação de uma nova bateria, neste estudo se pretendem superar. Além disso, a nova bateria oferece recursos adicionais para a avaliação desses fatores: a presente bateria incorpora os instrumentos e os indicadores centrais dos modelos demanda-controle-apoio social e desiquilíbrio esforço-recompensa e os fatores internos do trabalho não considerados nesses modelos, mas que a Resolução considera necessários, mediram-se com testes preexistentes ou desenvolvidos pelos autores. Com os dados coletados, é possível calcular indicadores globais de demanda, controle e apoio social; além de condições familiares e sociais de risco, enfrentamento, personalidade e indicadores de saúde e bem-estar. Para a validação, a bateria foi aplicada a uma amostra de 16 095 trabalhadores de diferentes cargos e municípios colombianos. As análises de consistência interna e validade permitem afirmar que a bateria é simples de aplicar em papel ou digital, permitirá comparar cargos, obter pontuações unificadas por variável, oferecer um diagnóstico de um número importante das variáveis sugeridas na Resolução bem como permitirá comparar os resultados dos trabalhadores colombianos com os de outros países.

Factores de riesgo psicosocial y satisfacción laboral en una empresa chilena del área de la minería / Psychosocial risk factors and job satisfaction in a Chilean company mining area

El objetivo de esta investigación es identificar la relación entre Factores de Riesgo Psicosocial y Satisfacción Laboral en trabajadores de una empresa subcontratista del sector minero en Chile. Se utilizó el cuestionario SUSESO-ISTAS 21, adaptación a la población chilena y el Cuestionario de Satisfacción Laboral S20/23 (Meliá y Peiró, 1989), aplicados a una muestra de 100 trabajadores. Los resultados dan cuenta de que existe una relación significativa y negativa entre factores de riesgo y satisfacción laboral; en las dimensiones trabajo activo y posibilidades del desarrollo, apoyo social en la empresa y calidad de liderazgo, compensaciones y doble presencia, indicando que a mayor riesgo psicosocial percibido menor es la satisfacción laboral. Para la dimensión trabajo activo y posibilidades de desarrollo, se encontró que operarios/ayudantes poseen un rango de exposición alto y los demás en un rango medio, además de una relación significativa entre la dimensión exigencias psicológicas según la sección donde trabajan. Se discuten las implican del estudio para futuras investigaciones e intervenciones organizacionales.

The objective of this research is to identify wether a relationship exists between Psychosocial Risk factors and Job satisfaction in a subcontractor workers in the mining sector in Chile. Questionnaire was used SUSESO-ISTAS 21, adapted to the Chilean population and the Job Satisfaction Questionnaire S20/23 (Meliá & Peiró, 1989), applied to a sample of 100 workers. The results show that there is a significant negative correlation between risk factors and job satisfaction in active labor dimensions and possibilities of development, social support and quality in the company leadership, compensation and dual presence, indicating that greater psychosocial risk lower perceived job satisfaction. For the dimension active work and development opportunities, it was found that operators/attendants have a high exposure range and the other on a mid-range, others in a meaningful relationship between the psychological demands dimension according to the section where they work. We discuss the study's implications to future research and organizational interventions.
