Objective: Systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of pre-employment evaluations in preventing occupational diseases in workers. Materials and Methods: A systematic review of international research was conducted, obtained through databases: Epistemonikos, NCBI, PubMed, Elsevier, Google Scholar, and Scielo, which were analyzed using the GRADE system to assess the level of evidence. The search was carried out using DECS and MESH descriptors for searches in Spanish and English, respectively. 40% of the reviewed articles are from the USA, 30% from Australia, and the remaining 30% from England, Nigeria, and the Netherlands, respectively. Results: 100% of the evidence indicates that pre-employment evaluations are effective in preventing occupational diseases in workers. Conclusions: 10 out of 10 pieces of evidence demonstrate the effectiveness of pre-employment evaluations in preventing occupational diseases in workers.

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2023-09-25) Saenz Cazorla, Katherine Dilet; Puma Chombo, Jorge Eloy
The objective of the research is to determine the relationship between ergonomic risk and musculoskeletal injuries in administrative personnel at a public institution in Lima, 2023. Materials and methods: Non-experimental, correlational, cross-sectional, and prospective research. The technique for the ergonomic risk variable was observation, and for musculoskeletal injuries, a survey was used.

The sample consisted of 80 administrative employees working at the Anti-Drug Directorate of the National Police of Peru. Results: Musculoskeletal disorders in administrative staff showed that 63.7% were male, with the predominant age range being 20 to 30 years. Ergonomic risk according to RULA showed a 70% need for further study, and musculoskeletal injuries were found in only 16.2%. Inferential statistics: Spearman’s correlation test showed a p-value of 0.055. Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between ergonomic risk and musculoskeletal injuries in administrative staff, as the p-value obtained is greater than the 5% significance level (0.055 > 0.050).

(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2017) Vargas Chicoma, Lucila Estela; Vásquez Bazán, Denys Lizeth; Gómez Gonzales, Walter Edgar
Objective: To determine the occupational risks to which nurses working in sterilization centers are exposed. Materials and Methods: Systematic Reviews are an observational and retrospective research design that synthesizes the results of multiple primary studies. They are an essential part of evidence-based nursing due to their rigorous methodology, identifying relevant studies to answer specific clinical practice questions. The review was systematic, observational, and retrospective, with a search limited to 8 full-text articles. It was found that 50% of the articles came from Brazil, 25% from Peru, and 12.5% from Spain and Honduras. Results: Occupational risks faced by nurses include: Biological Risks, with contamination from injuries and/or needle punctures being the most frequent cause at 69% and the non-use of personal protective equipment (PPE) at 60%; Chemical Risks, due to exposure to sterilizing agents and toxic gases, at 35.9%; Physical Risks, from inadequate lighting (50%), mechanical, vibrations, noise, and thermal risks at 33.3%; Ergonomic Risks, present in 38.3% to 57.3%, with improper postures (18%), falls (22%), and standing for prolonged periods; Psychological Risks, from verbal and physical abuse (61.54%), job insecurity (23.8%), and work overload. Conclusions: The greatest occupational risk for nursing staff working in the Sterilization Center is ergonomic risk, with additional exposure to biological, physical, chemical, and psychosocial risks.

Work environment and its relationship with job performance in workers of a public institution, Huánuco – 2022
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-09-25) Gonzales Caldas, Guisella Nerissa; Cárdenas de Fernández, María Hilda
In 2021, 234 cases of workers with occupational diseases were reported in Peru, while 214 fatal accidents and 27,767 work accidents were reported (5); which is likely due to different risk factors found in the work environment and its influence on the worker's work performance. Understanding the particularities of the work environment and its relationship with the worker will help implement policies for the prevention of occupational diseases and accidents, as well as the promotion of healthy lifestyles at work (6). Its objective is to determine the relationship that exists between the work environment and the work performance of the workers of the public institution - Huánuco. Having as a design: correlational type of research, transversal descriptive type, deductive method, with a quantitative approach, research design is non-experimental. Which will take place in the public institution Huánuco-Peru. With a total of 100 workers who simultaneously represent the study sample. To collect the data, the questionnaires from the worker's work environment scale - WEIS will be applied and at the same time the results of the evaluation of the workers' work performance, which is carried out monthly, evaluating their transversal competencies, will be received. To carry out the data analysis, a matrix will be created in Microsoft Excel 2013 where the data that will be extracted will be poured into. To carry out the statistical analysis of the data, the frequency distribution will be used, calculating measures of central tendency, such as median, mean and percentages, measures of dispersion, in the same way the range and standard deviation in quantitative variables.

Working conditions and work stress of emollient microentrepreneurs of a district in Lima - 2021
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2021-10-31) López Soriano, Angie De la Paz; Gonzales Saldaña, Susan Haydee
The emolientero microentrepreneur is a form of independent work, it is organized in associations and its presence in the streets is part of the Peruvian culture. Despite being legally recognized in the country as microentrepreneurs, the working conditions in the public streets and the precariousness of self-employment are factors that affect the general imbalance of their health. This type of occupation is usually exposed to various safety and health risks, including harassment or physical abuse as part of street vending, where the lack of information and organization on occupational health is evident. This study aims to determine the relationship between work stress and the working conditions of emolientero workers. The results will allow us to examine preventive interventions by nursing professionals in this occupational group, as well as the self-care of the microentrepreneur. The contribution of this new knowledge will also help municipal managers who will have the opportunity to improve some of the conditions of the public streets in formal sales, such as emolientero workers, and allow them to work safely, dignified and healthily.
