Efectos en la salud física y psicológica de trabajadores del sector salud de Centroamérica y Suramérica, expuestos a la rotación de turnos y jornadas extensas de trabajo

Abstract

Exposure to shift rotation and long working hours specifically in the health sector have had negative effects on people's physical health and psychological well-being. The need to have a job, to demonstrate and stand out in a competitive world of work and to meet their own needs and those of their families, become apparent valid justifications for exposing those working days. This monograph compiles a documentary review of the last 20 years to determine what have been the physical and psychological effects that have presented the people who work in the health sector and what have been the intervention measures implemented to mitigate this effect.
