Abstract

Los desórdenes musculoesqueléticos (DME) representan una de las principales causas de enfermedades laborales en el sector salud, especialmente en personal de enfermería, debido a su constante exposición a factores de riesgo biomecánico. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo elaborar una propuesta estratégica de prevención de DME en los enfermeros de la Clínica SINAI (Bosconia, Cesar), a través del diagnóstico de condiciones de trabajo, análisis de sintomatología y diseño de un sistema de vigilancia epidemiológica (SVE). Se utilizó una metodología cuantitativa con enfoque deductivo, mediante encuestas, observación directa y revisión documental. Los resultados evidenciaron una alta prevalencia de síntomas musculoesqueléticos, especialmente en cuello, espalda, cadera y tobillos. El 100% del personal presentó alguna molestia en el último año. Se diseñó e implementó un SVE y se elaboró un programa de capacitaciones ergonómicas. Se concluye que el riesgo biomecánico es significativo en el entorno estudiado y urge adoptar medidas sostenibles de prevención
