Evaluación de los riesgos psicosociales en los docentes de una Unidad Educativa en el sector rural de la ciudad de Guayaquil, República del Ecuador : protocolos de intervención.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate psychosocial risk factors in a population of 40 individuals within an educational unit, comprising 29 teachers and 11 administrative staff. A mixed methodology was employed, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches to achieve a comprehensive understanding of working conditions and their effects. Quantitative data collection involved the application of two psychosocial risk assessment questionnaires: one from the Ministry of Labor and the INSST's FPSICO 4.1. The F-Psico method assesses nine key factors, including working time, workload, autonomy, psychological demands, job content variety, participation, worker interest, role performance, and social relationships and support. To complement and deepen the information, eight focused interviews were conducted. This qualitative technique is essential for capturing subjective perceptions, lived experiences, and specific details that structured questionnaires cannot reveal. This approach enabled the identification of predominant factors affecting staff well-being and health, providing a solid foundation for developing preventive strategies and improving working conditions.
