ABSTRACT

Objective: to analyze the psychosocial risk factors at work of family physicians assigned to a Family Medicine Unit. Methods: analytical cross-sectional study, where 50 physicians, from the Family Medicine Unit No. 49 of the Mexican Institute of Social Security in Celaya, Guanajuato Mexico, participated. The Official Mexican Standard NOM-035- STPS-2018, “Psychosocial Risk Factors at Work-Identification, Analysis and Prevention” was applied. Descriptive statistics, t-test for difference of two means, and one-factor anova were performed for the comparison of the factors in the sociodemographic variables. Results: 60% of the total sample was represented by women; the average age was 40.1±6 years, 72% were married, and the average working time was 12.9±7.1 years. Eleven participants reported severe traumatic events; the psychosocial risk was 56% medium, 34% high and 6% very high; activity factors were the highest level of risk category, with 72% at very high risk; the domains with the highest psychosocial risk were workload with 84% at very high risk, lack of control over work with 52% at very high risk and leadership with 8% at very high risk. Women had a higher psychosocial risk in work organization than men (p=0.014), with nine years or less seniority. In leadership and relationships at work, those between ten and nineteen years had lower psychosocial risk compared to those with more than twenty years (p=0.001, 0.036, respectively). Conclusions: in accordance with NOM-035-STPS-2018, the FMU No. 49 requires for its family physicians to review the psychosocial risk prevention policy and the development of programs to address them, as well as the promotion of a favorable organizational environment.
