ABSTRACT

Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between sense of coherence, work engagement, and work environment variables as predictors of the level of psychological distress during the first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic in Chile. Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study collected between April 22 and December 16, 2020, using non-probabilistic snowball sampling. The study variables and instruments were socio-demographic variables, work engagement (UWES-9 scale), sense of coherence (Antonovsky SOC-13 scale), and psychological distress (GHQ-12 scale). Multivariate analysis and binary logistic regression were performed including the scores of the three questionnaires and other variables such as effectiveness, safety, stress, health perception, and sex. Finally, the CHAID technique was applied to create a segmentation tree. Results: 72.7 % of participants had high levels of psychological distress, more predominantly among women, with work stress and low sense of coherence acting as the most influential mediators in generating psychological distress, and even more so when both were combined. Low work engagement and the availability of safe and effective means to prevent infection were predictors of psychological distress among workers. Conclusion: During the first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, factors that contributed to psychological distress in the Chilean population were identified. These included a fair or poor perception of health, being a woman, work-related stress, availability of safety measures, low level of work engagement, and low level of sense of coherence. Identifying these factors may help prevent similar effects in future phases of the current pandemic or in future pandemics.

ABSTRACT

Silicosis is one of the most important occupational respiratory diseases worldwide, hence the importance of making a correct diagnosis. Diagnosis is commonly based on radiological findings according to the ILO International Classification of Radiographs of Pneumoconioses and occupational exposure. High-resolution computed tomography is indicated for differential diagnosis. This article presents two cases with an initial diagnosis of silicosis that ended up being diagnosed as sarcoidosis and siderosis, respectively. The first case was a 42-year-old male who worked as a crushing operator in an underground copper and molybdenum mine for 22 years. He had a history of exposure to silicon dioxide and was asymptomatic. X-rays did not distinguish silicosis or siderosis, but histological findings (open lung biopsy) allowed for a diagnosis of sarcoidosis. The second case was a 50-year-old male who had worked as a welder in a molybdenum filter plant, an open pit mine since 2013; he spent the previous 20 years as a welder in an underground copper mine, with exposure to silicon dioxide and was symptomatic. The first radiograph showed opacities that were compatible with pulmonary silicosis. A subsequent high-resolution computed tomography and lung biopsy showed a pattern of pulmonary siderosis. Due to the similarities in the radiographs of these three diseases, greater emphasis must be placed on the differential diagnosis, for which a complete occupational and clinical history is important in order to provide clues for the performance of complementary tests to avoid misdiagnosing.

ABSTRACT

Young adults and racial/ethnic minorities report the worst mental health outcomes during the COVID19 pandemic, according to the Center for Disease Control (2020). The objectives of this study were (1) to identify common mental health symptoms among Latin American, US Hispanic, and Spanish college students, and (2) to identify clinical features predictive of higher post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) among this population. The study sample included 1,113 college students from the USA, Mexico, Chile, Ecuador, and Spain who completed an online survey containing demographic questions and mental health screeners. Findings revealed higher scores of depression, suicidality, and PTSS compared to pre-pandemic levels and current scores by non-Spanish speaking college students; however, less than 5% of participants endorsed clinical levels of anxiety. After controlling for demographic profiles and sociocultural values, clinical symptoms of depression, loneliness, perceived stress, anxiety, and coping strategies explained 62% of the PTSS variance. Age, history of mental illness, perceived social support, and familism were not significant predictors. This sample of college students revealed higher mental health symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic. The high prevalence of PTSS highlights the need to develop pragmatic, cost-effective, and culturally sensitive prevention and intervention strategies to mitigate these symptoms. Implications for college administrators and clinicians are discussed.

ABSTRACT

The health effects of COVID-19 continue to raise doubts today. In some areas, such as mental health, these doubts have scarcely been addressed. The present study analyses the effects on psychological distress during the first phase of the pandemic in Chile. A cross-sectional descriptive study was performed by using a questionnaire validated in Spain and adapted for Chile. Between 22 April and 16 December 2020, 3227 questionnaires were collected from the 16 regions of Chile, using non-probabilistic snowball sampling. Bivariate analysis and binary logistic regression were performed. The variables that could predict psychological distress during the COVID-19 pandemic in Chile were: having a poor self-perception of health OR = 4.038, 95% CI = (2.831, 5.758); being younger than 29 OR = 2.287, 95% CI = (1.893, 2.762); having diarrhea OR = 2.093, 95% CI = (1.414, 3.098); having headache OR = 2.019, 95% CI = (1.662, 2.453); being a woman OR = 1.638, 95% CI = (1.363, 1.967); having muscle pain OR = 1.439, 95% CI = (1.114, 1.859); and having had casual contact with an infected person OR = 1.410, 95% CI = (1.138, 1.747). In Chile, with a better social, economic, cultural, and health environment compared to neighboring countries, there has been a high percentage of psychological distress. It is time to prioritize measures to safeguard the mental health of Chileans, especially focused on the most vulnerable population according to our results, i.e., young women with poorer health status.

ABSTRACT

Se realizó un estudio de caso para conocer las vivencias de un trabajador minero con silicosis a través del método fenomenológico, en el último trimestre del año 2016. El criterio de inclusión más importante fue el diagnóstico de silicosis categoría 1. Se aplicó entrevista en profundidad basada en una guía de entrevista. El análisis se enfocó en los cuatro existenciales fenomenológicos. En los resultados se encontró que el trabajador describió de forma profunda sus relaciones familiares, sociales y laborales («de mi familia recibí todo el apoyo en cuanto se supo de mi enfermedad»). Percibió el apoyo de su jefatura y de sus compañeros de trabajo. Sobre la reubicación laboral manifestó: «no es solo que te cambien de lugar para trabajar, sino donde tú puedas aportar para el desarrollo de la empresa y donde tú puedas desarrollarte profesionalmente». El trabajador mostró conciencia de su enfermedad, refiriéndose a una buena cobertura de salud otorgada por la Unidad de Salud Ocupacional de la Clínica Río Blanco de la ciudad de Los Andes - Chile. Es importante continuar explorando otros casos de reubicación laboral por silicosis para comprender el fenómeno con mayor profundidad (AU)


In the last quarter of 2016 a case study was conducted to learn the experience of a mining worker with silicosis through the phenomenological method. The most important criterion for inclusion was the silicosis diagnosis of category 1. A deep interview was carried out based on an interview guide. The analysis was focused on the four phenomenological existentialisms. The results showed that the worker described in a profound way his family, social and work relations ('from my family I received all the support as soon as my illness was known'). He sensed the support of his employers and co-workers. About the job relocation he said: 'it is not just about changing the working place, but as well the place where you can contribute to the company´s development and improve professionally.' The worker was aware of his illness, referring to a good health coverage granted by the Occupational Health Unit of the Río Blanco Clinic in the city of Los Andes - Chile. In order to gain a deeper understanding of this phenomenon it is important to continue exploring other silicosis labor relocation cases (AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: analizar la construcción teórica del concepto de satisfacción laboral a través de la percepción de la adaptación al puesto de trabajo en médicos de salud ocupacional. MÉTODO: se aplicó la teoría fundamentada, utilizando el muestreo teórico propositivo hasta la saturación teórica. La muestra se integró con diez médicos dedicados a la salud ocupacional en la ciudad de México, durante el 2014. Se aplicaron entrevistas a profundidad y los datos obtenidos fueron analizados con el software Atlas-ti, dando como resultado códigos que se integraron en categorías, con las cuales se generó la teoría. RESULTADOS: Mis motivos de elección, Cambié de vida, y Oportunidades y proyectos fueron las categorías emergentes con las cuales se integró la dimensión de Adaptación al puesto de trabajo como elemento básico de la construcción teórica de la satisfacción laboral de los médicos de salud ocupacional. CONCLUSIONES: La satisfacción laboral en los médicos de salud ocupacional se presenta conforme se da su adaptación al puesto de trabajo, pues no existe desde el inicio de su vida laboral en el área, sino que se va generando conforme van aprendiendo y cambiando de actitud con respecto al trabajo.


OBJECTIVE: to analyze the theoretical construction of job satisfaction's concept through the adaptation to the job's perception in occupational health physicians. METHOD: it was applied the grounded theory, using proactive until theoretical saturation theoretical sampling. The sample was composed of ten physicians dedicated to occupational health in Mexico city, during the 2014. In-depth interviews were applied and the data obtained were analyzed with the software Atlas-ti, giving as a result: codes, which were integrated into categories, with which the theory was generated. RESULTS: My reasons for choice, I changed my life, and Opportunities and projects were the emerging categories with which joined the dimension of Adaptation to the post, as a basic element of the theoretical construction of the job satisfaction of occupational health physicians. CONCLUSIONS: Job satisfaction in occupational health physicians is presented as its adaptation to the job. It did not exist since the beginning of their working lives in the area, but it was generated as they learned and changed the attitude towards the work.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Comprender las experiencias de la despedida laboral para la jubilación en académicos universitarios mexicanos. Material y método: Investigación cualitativa con diseño de estudio de casos descriptivos. Participaron ocho profesores, seleccionados por muestreo teórico no probabilístico por conveniencia. T res profesores estaban próximos a jubilarse y cinco eran jubilados. Sus edades oscilaron entre 54 y 64 años. La mayoría estaban casados, tenían hijos y nietos. Los datos se recolectaron con entrevistas individuales en profundida. El análisis de los datos se fundamentó en la fenomenología de la percepción. Resultados: Se halló heterogeneidad en las experiencias de la despedida laboral. Las experiencias estuvieron centradas en la vivencia corporal en relación con las emociones y los contextos familiares y laborales. Conclusiones: La mayorías de los a cadémicos tuvieron mala salud y autopercepción corporal, emociones y entornos negativos. Las mayorías de las mujeres describieron expectativas de vida y salud pobres, y desempeño de roles tradicionales. En los jubilados se halló la creencia de que una vez jubilados mejoraría la salud, pero en la mayoría empeoró. Las d ecisiones de vida fueron importantes en la despedida laboral. En la institución no existen lineamientos claros y trasparentes sobre los trámites para jubilarse. Los jefes de departamento apoyaron solamente a los varones(AU)

ABSTRACT

CONTEXTO: Al ser considerada la ergonomía como una disciplina de carácter científico, que evalúa los riesgos ergonómicos en el medio ambiente laboral, puede evitar enfermedades ocupacionales y accidentes del trabajo, contribuyendo a mejorar las condiciones laborales en una organización. OBJETIVO: Determinar la prevalencia de síntomas músculo-esqueléticos en trabajadores operativos del puesto de trabajo mantenimiento de una Empresa Petrolera Ecuatoriana. METODOLOGÍA: Se llevó a cabo un estudio transversal en 102 trabajadores de sexo masculino, correspondientes al puesto de trabajo de mantenimiento de una empresa petrolera, situada en una locación de la Provincia de Sucumbíos, durante el año 2013; la edad comprendida estuvo entre 18 y 49 años. Para la recolección de datos a cada uno de los trabajadores, previo consentimiento informado se aplicó: un Cuestionario Socio-Demográfico, una Historia Médica Ocupacional y el Cuestionario Nórdico Estandarizado. RESULTADOS: La mayor prevalencia de síntomas músculo-esqueléticos, se encuentra en el grupo de trabajadores de entre 30 y 40 años de edad, en las regiones anatómicas: espalda baja 66 (64,7%), seguido de espalda alta 44 (43,1%), cuello 38 (37,3%) y hombro 27 (26,5%), siendo los más afectados los puestos de trabajo técnico-eléctrico y técnico-mecánico. La regresión logística binaria determinó que las variables no son estadísticamente significativas y, por lo tanto, por sí solas no explican la aparición de síntomas Músculo-Esqueléticos. CONCLUSIÓN: Se concluye que existe una elevada prevalencia de síntomas músculo-esqueléticos en la población estudiada, por lo que se recomienda efectuar una evaluación ergonómica exhaustiva de los puestos de trabajo y posteriormente buscar mecanismos y estrategias de control y prevención de riesgos ergonómicos, con la finalidad de minimizar el desarrollo de lesiones músculo-esqueléticos en la población de estudio.


CONTEXT: When considered ergonomics as a scientific discipline that evaluates ergonomic hazards in the working environment, you can prevent occupational diseases and industrial accidents, helping to improve working conditions in an organization. OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms in workers operating as a maintenance work Ecuadorian Oil Company. METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 102 male workers, job for the maintenance of an oil company, situated in a location in the province of Sucumbíos, in 2013, the age range was between 18 and 49. To collect data for each worker, informed consent was applied: A Socio-Demographic Questionnaire an Occupational Medical History and the Standardized Nordic Questionnaire. RESULTS: The highest prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms are in the group of workers between 30 and 40 years old, in the anatomical regions: lower back 66 (64,7%), followed by upper back 44 (43,1% ), neck 38 (37,3%) and shoulder 27 (26,5%) being the most affected stations mechanical technician and electrician work. Binary logistic regression determined that the variables are not statistically significant, and thus alone do not explain the occurrence of musculoskeletal symptoms. CONCLUSION: We conclude that there is a high prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms in the study population, so it is recommended that a comprehensive ergonomic evaluation of jobs and then find mechanisms and strategies for control and prevention of ergonomic hazards, with the aim minimize the development of musculoskeletal injuries in the study population.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to examine the correlation and predictive value between the Academic Stress Inventory (ASI) and the Stress Symptom Inventory (SSI) in university students and its association with age and gender in both inventories. We evaluated a representative and random sample of 527 students at a public university in 2012. A multiple regression analysis was carried out. The results showed that IEA situations that correspond to classroom intervention, mandatory work, and doing an exam predict highlevel chronic stress; being a female and 18, 23, and 25 years old were associated mostly to stress. We conclude that accurate identification of stressors could help understand stress and its harmful effects on college students


El objetivo de este estudio fue examinar la correlación y el valor predictivo entre el Inventario de Estrés Académico (IEA) y el Inventario de Síntomas de Estrés (ISE) en estudiantes universitarios, así como su asociación con la edad y género en ambos inventarios. Se evaluó una muestra representativa y aleatoria de 527 estudiantes de una universidad pública en el año 2012. Se usó análisis de regresión múltiple. Los resultados mostraron que las situaciones del IEA que corresponden a intervención en clase, trabajos obligatorios y la realización de un examen predicen un nivel elevado de estrés crónico; el género femenino y las edades de 18, 23 y 25 años se asociaron mayormente con el estrés. Se concluye que la identificación exacta de estresores podría ayudar a entender el estrés y sus efectos dañinos en estudiantes universitarios

ABSTRACT

In many countries, the work of mining, quarrying, construction of tunnels and galleries, abrasive jet cleaning and smelting continue to present significant risks of silica exposure and silicosis epidemics still occur, even in developed countries. Patients with silicosis are particularly susceptible to opportunistic lung infections such as aspergillosis and tuberculosis. Occasionally silicosis is associated with scleroderma, systemic lupus erythematosus, nephritis and cancer. Early detection of silicosis is made by chest X-ray method, being the presence of rounded opacities the main sign of illness. However, no systematic information is available that allows use as a standard method of evaluation because their interpretation remains operator dependent both conventional radiological technique, digital and interpretation of computed tomography with high resolution


En muchos países del mundo, los trabajos de minería, canteras, construcción de túneles y galerías, limpieza por abrasión a chorro y fundición continúan presentando riesgos importantes de exposición al sílice, y siguen produciéndose epidemias de silicosis, incluso en los países desarrollados. Los pacientes con silicosis son particularmente susceptibles a infecciones oportunistas del pulmón como la aspergilosis y la tuberculosis. Ocasionalmente la silicosis se asocia a esclerodermia, lupus eritematoso sistémico, nefritis y cáncer. La detección precoz de la silicosis se realiza mediante el método radiológico de tórax, constituyendo la presencia de opacidades redondas el principal signo de enfermedad. Sin embargo no se dispone de información sistemática que permita utilizarla como método estándar de evaluación debido a que su interpretación sigue siendo operador dependiente tanto en la técnica radiológica convencional, digital y en la interpretación de la tomografía axial computarizada con alta resolución

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Identificar un constructo sobre la calidad de vida en el trabajo de los médicos/as y enfermeros/as de Clínica Río Blanco y Centro de Especialidades Médicas. Métodos y Materiales: Estudio transversal y analítico. Se aplicó un cuestionario de datos socio-laborales integrados por 10 ítems y el instrumento CVT-GOHISALO, el cual consta de 74 ítems y mide la calidad de vida en el trabajo en siete dimensiones. Resultados: En un grupo de 20 trabajadores entre médicos/as y enfermeros/as, el 40% cuenta con dos trabajos, el 20% reporta ausentismo por enfermedad el año previo. El 60% se desempeñan principalmente en turno mixto. El 40% tiene una antigüedad de dos a cinco años y el 30% menos de dos años. El número de horas semanales que dedican al descanso es menor a 20 horas en un 50% de los trabajadores. Las siete dimensiones evaluadas: soporte institucional para el trabajo, seguridad en el trabajo, integración al puesto de trabajo, satisfacción por el trabajo, bienestar a través del trabajo, desarrollo personal y administración del tiempo libre, reflejan grados de insatisfacción en la calidad de vida en el trabajo. Conclusiones: Los trabajadores de la salud evaluados muestran una serie de percepciones subjetivas que reflejan una realidad de su medio laboral (AU)


Objective: To identify a construct on quality of life in the work of doctors and nurses Clínica Río Blanco and Center Especialidades Médicas. Methods and Materials: Cross-sectional and analytical. A questionnaire was social and labor data consisting of 10 question and CVT-GOHISALO instrument, which consists of 74 question and measures the quality of life at work in seven dimensions. Results: In a group of 20 workers among doctors and nurses, 40% have two jobs, 20% reported absenteeism due to illness the previous year. 60% work mainly in mixed shift. 40% have a length of two to five years and 30% less than two years. The number of hours per week devoted to rest is less than 20 hours in 50% of workers. The seven dimensions assessed: institutional support for work, job security, integration into the workplace, job satisfaction, well-being through work, personal development and leisure management, reflect a degree of dissatisfaction in the quality of work life. Conclusions: The health workers evaluated show a series of subjective perceptions that reflect a reality of their workplace (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Los países industrializados están sufriendo importantes transformaciones en su evolución demográfica, caracterizado por el envejecimiento de la población (disminución de la tasa de natalidad, incremento de la población adulta y aumento de la esperanza de vida). En España el decremento de la tasa pensionista/cotizante conlleva a que en la actualidad se esté discutiendo en el gobierno el retraso en la edad de jubilación. Objetivo: Determinar los efectos en el tiempo de la reubicación laboral y la calidad de vida de los trabajadores mineros con diagnóstico de silicosis de la División Andina, Codelco Chile. Materiales y Método: Estudio cuantitativo de series temporales en un solo grupo, se aplicó el cuestionario SF 36 a cinco trabajadores con diagnóstico de silicosis, tres meses antes de la reubicación y tres meses después de la reubicación, las mediciones fueron mensuales, para el análisis estadístico se utilizó el ANOVA para medidas repetidas en SPSS y se complementó con el test de Friedman. Resultados: Se observó que en las tres mediciones antes de la reubicación laboral las 8 dimensiones del cuestionario SF 36 disminuyeron sostenidamente, no existiendo diferencia significativa (f > 0.05) entre los sujetos del estudio. Sin embargo después de la reubicación laboral la dimensión de dolor corporal, vitalidad y función social presentaron diferencia significativa (f < 0.05) entre los sujetos del estudio. Conclusiones: Los trabajadores mostraron cambios en el tiempo en la calidad de vida, respecto a la reubicación laboral, a pesar que no hubo significancia estadística en la mayoría de las dimensiones que se midieron durante el proceso de reubicación (AU)


Objective: To determine the effects over time of work relocation and the quality of life of mine workers diagnosed with silicosis in the Andean division of Codelco, Chile Materials and Method: Quantitative study of temporal series in a single group. The SF36 questionnaire was applied to five workers diagnosed with silicosis, three months before relocation and three months after job relocation. The evaluations were monthly. The statistical analysis was done using ANOVA for repeated measures in SPSS and complemented with the Friedman test. Results: We observed that in all three measurements before the job relocation, the 8 dimensions of the SF36 declined steadily, with no significant difference (f> 0.05) among the study subjects. However, after the redeployment, the dimension of body pain, vitality and social function showed significant differences (f <0.05) among the study subjects. Conclusions: Workers showed changes over time in quality of life, with respect to job relocation, although there was no statistical significance in most of the dimensions that were measured during the relocation process (AU)

We conducted a qualitative study to learn from the experiences of jobrelocation in workers with silicosis by describing, the ming and interpret the experiences, from October to December 2009 at a mining company in Chile.There were 3 case studies where the most important inclusion criterion was the diagnosis of silicosis category 1. In-depth interviews were applied on the basis of an interview guide. The analysis focused on the four existential phenomenological. The results found that a profound workers described their family relationships, social and labor "My family got as much support as soon as he learned of my disease." Perceived support from their leadership and their colleagues. Expressed on job relocation "is not just that they will change fromplace to work, but where you can make to the development of the company and where you can develop professionally. They showed awareness of his illness, referring to good health coverage issued by the Occupational Health Unit Clínica Río Blanco SA It is important tocontinue exploring other job relocation cases of silicosis to understand more deeply the phenomenon.
