Evaluación de factores de riesgo psicosocial en las camaroneras de la empresa Ecuamar S.A. en el cantón Naranjal

Abstract

The study carried out in the shrimp company Ecuamar S.A. focused on the evaluation and identification of psychosocial factors using the F-PSICO 3.1 questionnaire as a technical tool. These factors, responsible for generating stress and anxiety, highlight the need for a safe and healthy work environment through the application of appropriate occupational health and safety measures. The research of this study was developed using a mixed methodology, combining qualitative and quantitative approaches, with a non-experimental design. Visits were made to the shrimp farms of Ecuamar S.A., where surveys were applied to the workers of the operational area to identify and evaluate the psychosocial risks present. The results of the analyses indicated that the main risk factors were working time, psychological demands, participation and supervision, as well as relationships and social support. Consequently, control measures were established to improve working conditions and environment, with specific recommendations to minimize the risks identified, especially when exposure levels were moderate, high and very high.
