Objective:
To identify and determine the factors that affect the onset of noncommunicable mental disorders in the area of public and/or occupational health in people who work in a healthcare service provider (EPS in Spanish) in the city of Bogotá D.C Colombia.
Methods:
This is a descriptive study with a random sample of 50 employees. The survey Factor de Riesgo Psicosocial (Psychosocial Risk Factor) developed by Guillermo Bocanument was applied as a research tool.
Result:
The main variables identified include the significant effects of psychosocial risk factors, such as the increased likelihood of suffering from a noncommunicable disease due to workload and/or working under pressure, as well as the incidence in the onset of occupational diseases and stress.
Discussion:
Several actions have been proposed to mitigate the identified risks associated with the spread of no communicable and/or work-related illnesses. In fact, their implementation has contributed to reduce excessive workloads or improve the quality of life of the workers.
