Factores de riesgo laboral que afectan al personal docente de la Unidad Educativa Miguel de Cervantes.

Abstract

Occupational health in teachers is a topic that is talked about very little, however, there are several factors that could be altering different aspects of their health. In the development of this research, it was possible to identify what types of elements could cause a negative effect on the health of teachers. For this it was necessary to carry out the respective research on occupational health and how good care of it generates a positive impact on your workspace. Likewise, it was evident that teachers who do not enjoy a good state of health, especially mental and physical, cannot provide an excellent educational service. To obtain information, a survey designed by Rabadá (2006) was used. The application of this instrument allowed us to identify which factors had the greatest negative impact on the health of the teachers of the “Miguel de Cervantes” Educational Unit and, after this, to be able to design an action plan that would result in the improvement of health in the teachers of the institution. The contagion of diseases such as the flu and maintaining inappropriate postures were factors that had a higher incidence and that directly affect the physical health of the teacher. In the action plan, various strategies were designed in order to contain each of these aspects.
