Brayan Stiven Rodríguez González; Jhon Francísco Hernández Jiménez; Yeni Piedad Pillimue Cruz; Zudelaine Marval Bermúdez; Diana Derly Bueno Castro
This research was conducted with 20 employees of the Juan Carlos Garzón Educational Center, who completed the FANTASTIC instrument to assess their healthy lifestyles and identify the areas requiring greater improvement. The objective was to develop a proposal for the design of a healthy lifestyle program for the employees. The methodology followed a quantitative approach with a descriptive and cross-sectional scope. The population consisted of 20 employees, representing the entire staff of the institution. The results showed an overall score of 74.9, corresponding to the “adequate, you are doing well” level; however, opportunities for improvement were identified in the areas of physical activity, nutrition, and personality types. Based on these results, the healthy lifestyle program “Caring for Life at the Educational Center” was designed for implementation over a six-month period and included activities, indicators, resources, responsible personnel, and a schedule. As a dissemination strategy, a virtual booklet was developed to present the proposed activities in a clear and organized manner. It is concluded that, although the employees generally demonstrate an adequate level of healthy lifestyles, there are specific areas that require further improvement. Therefore, the proposed program constitutes a preventive strategy aimed at promoting employee participation, strengthening self-care, and encouraging the adoption of healthy habits in the workplace.
Factores biomecánicos asociados a trastornos musculoesqueléticos en trabajadores bajo modalidad de teletrabajo o trabajo híbrido en Colombia: revisión documental 2020-2026 / Biomechanical factors associated with musculoskeletal disorders among teleworkers and hybrid workers in Colombia: a documentary review, 2020–2026
Bonilla Vallejo Jhon Bernardo; Mur Guzmán Katherine Johana; Diana Carolina Rodriguez Romero
This literature review monograph aims to analyze the biomechanical factors associated with musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among Colombian workers engaged in telework or hybrid work arrangements, based on literature published between 2020 and 2026. Interest in this topic arises from the changes in work organization that followed the COVID-19 pandemic, a period characterized by the increased adoption of remote working arrangements supported by information and communication technologies. Although these arrangements facilitated the continuity of work activities, they also transferred part of the working environment to employees’ homes or alternative locations, where suitable workstations for prolonged computer use are not always available. The study will employ a qualitative documentary research approach involving the systematic search, selection, critical appraisal, classification, and interpretation of scientific, technical, regulatory, and institutional sources. The review will focus on workers in Colombia whose job duties, including management and service-related activities, are performed predominantly through the use of computers. The analysis will address biomechanical factors affecting the work environment, such as prolonged sitting, sustained awkward postures, and static muscular load resulting from the intensive use of digital tools. It will also examine the occurrence of musculoskeletal disorders in critical body regions, including the cervical and lumbar areas and the upper limbs. Beyond merely compiling information, this monograph seeks to organize the current body of knowledge, identify patterns and gaps in the Colombian scientific literature, and provide a foundation for strengthening prevention models within the field of Occupational Safety and Health.

Análisis de las Estrategias de Mitigación del Riesgo Psicosocial en Teletrabajadores Administrativos en Colombia (2020–2026)
Lopez Ochoa John Andres; Puentes Paya Maricel; Herrera Ortega Veronica; Nancy Ximena Guevara Guevara
This monograph has as its main objective to analyze the Colombian legislation, technical guides and scientific literature published in a specific period between 2020 and 2026 on the management of psychosocial risk in administrative workers under the modality of telework. The study suggests that after the COVID-19 pandemic, this type of work modality had a significant increase in Colombian workers, leading us to an urgent need to identify strategies that contribute to the protection of mental health and the strengthening of the Occupational Safety Management System (SG-SST). The findings show that, although Colombia has a normative framework regulating telework and psychosocial risk management, gaps persist in the application of specific instruments to assess the risks arising from this type of work, such as self-assessment questionnaires, psychosocial assessments, interviews and remote observation. Some of the main factors are: social isolation, work overload, hyper-connectivity, difficulty with digital disconnection, and work-life imbalance. We conclude that it is necessary to strengthen the implementation of preventive strategies, which allow to promote the co-responsibility between employers, workers, and ARL, adapting assessment tools to the particularities of remote work, favoring healthy working environments, thereby protecting the mental health of Colombian workers

Análisis de la evidencia científica sobre la sobrecarga de rol y la multiplicidad de 1 funciones como condiciones organizacionales asociadas al deterioro de la salud mental del personal administrativo de pequeñas y medianas empresas (PYMES).
DAHIANA SOLER MONTAÑO; NANCY XIMENA GUEVARA GUEVARA
Contemporary work dynamics have undergone significant transformations as a result of globalization, the digitalization of processes, business competitiveness, and the need to optimize organizational resources. In this context, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have adopted more flexible management models, characterized by leaner organizational structures, redistribution of responsibilities, and the simultaneous assignment of multiple functions to a single employee. While these strategies can promote productivity and organizational efficiency, they also alter certain conditions in the performance of work activities, increasing exposure to factors that can affect the physical and psychological well-being of workers. With regard to Occupational Safety and Health (OSH), these changes have generated an increased interest in understanding how the organization influences the mental health of workers. Initially, in recent years, research has shown that organizational conditions go beyond the administrative dimension and constitute a relevant determinant in the appearance of work stress, emotional exhaustion, burnout syndrome, and other alterations related to psychological well-being. With this, mental health has ceased to be considered an exclusively individual matter and is now recognized as a result linked to the way in which organizations design, distribute, and manage work. Among the organizational conditions that have aroused the greatest interest are role overload and multiplicity of functions, both of which reflect particular forms of work in which the same worker assumes diverse responsibilities, simultaneous expectations, and activities that in many cases correspond to different processes or positions in the organization. However, the information provided indicates that these concepts are not always addressed in a differentiated way. While some studies analyze them as manifestations of work overload, others react to them with role ambiguity, role conflict, or organizational demands, thus generating conceptual differences that hinder the integration of available knowledge and the formulation of specific preventive strategies. Therefore, it acquires special relevance in small and medium-sized enterprises, where structural and budgetary limitations favor the assignment of multiple responsibilities to administrative staff, which means that the same worker performs functions related to administrative management, human talent processes, customer service, purchasing, document management, payroll or the implementation of Occupational Safety and Health activities, without necessarily having a formal redefinition of the position or a proportional redistribution of the workload and without taking into account that these conditions can increase cognitive and emotional demands, affect the perception of control over the work and progressively compromise psychological well-being.
Análisis biomecánico con la herramienta ROSA en los trabajadores de la empresa Seidor, Bogotá, 2026
Neira Dulcey Jhonhattan Andrés; Ovalle Tunjano Mireya; Diana Carolina Rodríguez Romero
Using the Rapid Office Strain Assessment tool, the current thesis examines the degree of biomechanical risk in administrative workers at Seidor Colombia in Bogotá during 2026; the study originates from the extensive hours spent in front of computer equipment, which increases the likelihood of suffering from musculoskeletal disorders such as carpal tunnel syndrome and lower back pain. The methodology employed consisted of a quantitative and cross-sectional analysis carried out with 57 employes, using ergonomic checklists, surveys on perceived morbidity, and sociodemographic records. The study showed that workers experience constant pain in their hands, neck, and shoulders, worsened by factors such as poorly adjusted chairs, backrests, and screens. The ROSA evaluation revealed that 98.2% of the positions have a "needing improvement" risk and that 1.8% present a "high" risk, requiring adjustments due to the lack of adjustable furniture and the inconvenient placement of work equipment. On the other hand, lifestyle and habits indicated that the pressure on joints and the spine is significantly aggravated due to the high rate of sedentarism 40.5% and overweight over 46%. Regarding the factor of seniority in the job, it demonstrated that continuous exposure to these conditions causes pain to become chronic and symptoms to worsen significantly between 6 and 10 years in the company.
CULTURA DE PREVENCIÓN Y SU INFLUENCIA EN EL COMPORTAMIENTO SEGURO DE LOS TRABAJADORES DEL SECTOR DE LA CONSTRUCCIÓN EN LOS ÚLTIMOS 10 AÑOS A NIVEL GLOBAL
JHOSSIMAR POLO VIDES
The objective of this monograph is to analyze the influence of a culture of prevention on the safe behavior of construction workers over the last 10 years, based on the compilation and analysis of legal and academic contributions from around the world. A descriptive research approach with a qualitative focus was adopted. Data was collected through a review of 25 selected academic works from databases of recognized scientific prestige such as Scopus, Scielo, and Redalyc. Documents were selected that provided both global information and specific data on sample countries such as Colombia, Ecuador, Chile, Brazil, Peru, Argentina, Germany, Spain, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, Nigeria, South Korea, Japan, and China. To organize the collected information, an Excel matrix was designed using the categories and variables outlined in the monograph. The results demonstrate the construction sector's contribution to the economic development of countries globally and its role in reducing unemployment rates. The high rates of risk, hazards, and accidents in the sector, as well as the lack of a culture of prevention and safe behavior among workers, were also observed.
Diseño de un programa de gestión ambiental para el manejo de residuos en una empresa del sector de postres: caso Dulce Jesús Mío
Centeno-Plata, Juan Ernesto; Taquez-Bueno, Luz Ayda ; Bueno-Castro, Diana Derly
This project focuses on designing an environmental management program for the comprehensive management of solid waste at the Dulce Jesús Mío dessert company in Bogotá. The main objective is to strengthen regulatory compliance (ISO 14001 and ISO 45001), optimize environmental performance, and mitigate occupational risks such as falls and injuries caused by inadequate waste management. A census conducted at its five locations identified critical issues such as deficiencies in source separation, a lack of technical storage areas, and the absence of metrics or generation records. Furthermore, a lack of formal environmental policies and a management approach based on empirical practices were evident. The proposed intervention uses the PDCA cycle (Plan, Do, Check, Act) to structure a systemic solution. The key elements include the provision of recycling points in accordance with Resolution 2184 of 2019, the upgrading of storage units, staff training programs, and the implementation of a digital system of key performance indicators (KPIs) to ensure traceability. In conclusion, this program will facilitate operational efficiency, reduce accidents, and ensure the organization's sustainability and legal compliance.

Síndrome de Burnout en médicos de Latinoamérica Una mirada de los últimos 10 años
Agamez-Fuentes, Jorge Elian; Arellano-Navarro, Luis Carlos; Bueno-Castro, Diana Derly
Burnout syndrome among Latin American physicians is a structural and growing occupational health problem, worsened by chronic work overload, precarious health systems, and the COVID-19 pandemic. This monograph describes its impact based on scientific production from the last ten years (2016-2026). A qualitative descriptive bibliographic review was conducted in SciELO, Redalyc, Dialnet, Scopus, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Elsevier databases. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 26 studies with specific data on physicians and residents were analyzed using a documentary review matrix., Results reveal high prevalence of the syndrome. The most frequent symptoms are chronic fatigue (92 % of articles), depression (81 %), and anxiety (77 %). The most affected specialties are emergency medicine, intensive care, general surgery, internal medicine, and medical residents. Brazil leads with 6 studies, followed by Peru and Argentina (3 each), Mexico, Colombia, and Ecuador. Burnout is linked to extended shifts, limited institutional support, and high emotional exposure, resulting in medical errors, absenteeism, staff turnover, and professional migration. It is concluded that burnout is not an individual but a systemic phenomenon. Comprehensive prevention and occupational well-being strategies at institutional and public policy levels are urgently needed to protect physicians’ mental health and strengthen health system sustainability in Latin America

Accidentalidad durante el izaje de cargas en el sector de la construcción. Una mirada mundial de los últimos 10 años Accidents during lifting operations in the construction sector: a global overview of the last 10 years.
Rosas Tovar Maria Fernanda; Diana Derly Bueno Castro
The study analyzes the high rate of accidents in the construction sector, particularly in lifting operations, where the use of equipment, the handling of heavy materials, and the interaction among workers increase risks if not properly managed. Based on a review of scientific literature from the past ten years, it was found that the most common accidents include falling loads, impacts from moving objects, entrapments, and equipment collapse, all resulting from a combination of human, technical, organizational, and environmental factors. These incidents not only cause serious or fatal injuries but also lead to economic losses, project delays, and legal issues. In conclusion, the most effective prevention strategies rely on a comprehensive approach that includes proper equipment maintenance, personnel training, careful planning, constant supervision, and the use of technology, recognizing that safety depends on the integration of all these elements.
Desórdenes musculoesqueléticos en trabajadores de call center una mirada desde la prevalencia y los factores de riesgo. Musculoskeletal disorders in call center workers: a look at prevalence and risk factors.
Durango-Petro Jorge Francisco; Díaz-Parodi, Johanna Lucía; Mendoza-Parada, Yesica Yibet; Bueno-Castro, Diana Derly
The document analyzes musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among call center workers, highlighting them as a frequent issue linked to working conditions such as prolonged postures, repetitive movements, continuous computer use, and high organizational demands. A literature review identifies neck pain and lower back pain as the most common disorders—primarily affecting the neck and back—with a high prevalence of symptoms in this population. The study concludes that the origin of these disorders is multifactorial, involving ergonomic, organizational, technological, and psychosocial factors; consequently, it emphasizes the importance of implementing occupational health and safety preventive measures—such as ergonomic workstation improvements, the promotion of active breaks, and self-care strategies—to reduce their impact on health and work performance.
