RESUMEN

INTRODUCCION:

Las Condiciones y Medio Ambiente de Trabajo (CyMAT) han sido reconocidas como un determinante del proceso de salud-enfermedad en los trabajadores sanitarios y cuando estas son inadecuadas, repercuten negativamente en su propia salud y en la calidad de atención brindada.

OBJETIVO:

Caracterizar las CyMAT de los equipos de salud de atención primaria en la ciudad de Córdoba y analizar las categorías a) jornada laboral y b) estabilidad y seguridad en el empleo desde la perspectiva del trabajo decente.

METODOS:

Se diseñó un estudio exploratorio de corte transversal y se aplicó un cuestionario ya validado. Se obtuvo una muestra por conglomerados estratificada por zona sanitaria, que incluyó a 188 trabajadores de atención primaria de Córdoba escogidos por sorteo.

RESULTADOS:

Las condiciones de contratación son generalmente adecuadas. El 77% de los encuestados es de planta permanente, tiene estabilidad laboral y protección social, aunque el resto recibe un menor salario y no posee estabilidad, lo que genera inequidades entre el personal. El pluriempleo está presente en el 28% de los casos, y el 38% de las personas trabaja más de 48 horas semanales, sobrepasando el límite de la Jornada Laboral Decente.

CONCLUSIONES:

El conocimiento adecuado de las CyMAT resulta esencial en el contexto de una política que asume la estrategia de la atención primaria como base de su sistema de salud. Los hallazgos de este estudio son útiles para fundamentar el diseño de programas de mejora de las CyMAT en el primer nivel de atención (AU)
ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

The Conditions and Environment of Work (C&EW) have been recognized as a determinant of health-disease process in health workers and when these are inadequate, adversely affect the health of workers and quality of care provided.

OBJECTIVE:

To characterize the C&EW of primary health care centers and to analyze a) working time and b) job stability and security from the perspective of decent work.

METHODS:

An exploratory cross-sectional study was designed, with an already validated survey. There was a cluster sampling stratified by health area, with 188 workers belonging to primary care centers of Córdoba and selected at random.

RESULTS:

In general, employment conditions are appropriate 77% of the respondents are part of the permanent staff and have stability and social protection, while the rest receives lower pay and lacks stability, which leads to inequities among staff. 28% of the workers have more than one job and 38% work more than 48 hours per week, exceeding the limit of ôdecent working timeö.

CONCLUSIONS:

The adequate know ledge of C&EW is essential for a policy that assumes primary care strategy as the basis for its health system. The findings of this study are useful to design programs improving C&EW in primary care (AU)
