    SITUACIONES DE RIESGO QUE ATRAVIESAN LOS ENFERMEROS QUIRÚRGICOS: UNA REVISIÓN BIBLIOGRÁFICA

    Introduction: Surgical nurses are subject to numerous risk situations that compromise their physical and mental health and are related to the demanding nature of their work. Operating room conditions expose personnel to several hazards, including biological, ergonomic, chemical, physical, and psychosocial risks, which can negatively affect their well-being and performance. Objective: To analyze the risk situations encountered by surgical nurses through a literature review, identifying the primary threats to their healthand the preventive measures that should be adopted. Methodology: A descriptive literature review was carried out using the PRISMA method for article classification. Information was retrieved from databases such as Scielo, Virtual Health Library, WHO, Google Scholar, and PubMed, using keywords related to occupational risks in the surgical environment. A total of 25 articles were selected from 45 reviewed, focusing on publications from the past four years in Spanish and English. Results: The reviewed studiesindicate hat surgical nurses are highly exposed to biological, ergonomic, and psychosocial risks, which significantly impact their health. Conclusions: It is suggested that occupational health policies and biosafety strategies be strengthened to protect surgical nurses from the many threats they face in their work environment.

    USO DE LA MECÁNICA CORPORAL PARA DISMINUIR LESIONES EN LOS ESTUDIANTES DE ENFERMERÍA
    (2025-06-16) Chicaiza Izurieta, Esteban Wladimir; Martínez García, Diana Nancy; Universidad Técnica de Ambato / Facultad de Ciencias de Salud / Carrera de Enfermería
    Introduction: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) represent a significant problem for nursing students and professionals, with a prevalence ranging from 46% to 97%. These disorders not only affect the quality of life of individuals, but also negatively impact the efficiency and quality of patient care. The high prevalence of MSDs in students suggests that risk factors are present from the early stages of training. Objective: To analyze the available evidence on the use of body mechanics to prevent musculoskeletal injuries in nursing students. Methodology: An exhaustive search was carried out in databases such as PubMed, CINAHL and Google Scholar, selecting studies from the last 5 years to ensure the timeliness of the evidence. The review was carried out following the PRISMA guidelines, including the use of the flowchart to document the study selection process and the checklist to ensure a rigorous and transparent methodology. Results: The most affected anatomical regions are the lumbar area, neck and shoulders. Risk factors identified include female sex, older age, poor posture, and repetitive movements. Body mechanics-based interventions, including ergonomic education and specific exercise programs, showed promising results in reducing musculoskeletal symptoms. Discussion: A high prevalence of MSDs in nursing is revealed, mainly affecting the lower back, neck, and shoulders. Body mechanics interventions show preventive potential, although a holistic approach and early integration into training are needed. Conclusion: It is concluded that body mechanics programs have considerable potential to reduce the risk of MSDs in nursing students. The integration of these programs into nursing curricula and addressing the barriers to their implementation in clinical practice is recommended.

    SÍNDROME VISUAL INFORMÁTICO Y PRÁCTICAS ERGONÓMICAS EN ESTUDIANTES DE ENFERMERÍA
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Enfermería, 2024-10-03) Pallo Chicaiza, Lisbeth Estefanía; Mejías de Duarte, Marianela
    Introduction: Computer Visual Syndrome is a group of ocular and visual signs and symptoms related to study, particularly prolonged use of electronic devices. Ergonomic postures are defined as proper body positions and correct alignment of the spine, as dictated by ergonomics which is intended for places, tools and tasks related to the environment where they are performed. Objective: To relate computer visual syndrome and ergonomic practices in nursing students. Methods: The present research is of observational-transversal design and of correlational scope that was applied to 200 students of the Technical University of Ambato and the SVI syndrome and Ergonomics instruments were applied. Results: Where it is found that (97.14%) present symptoms of SVI and 50% suffer moderate and high risk of suffering ergonomic problems. Conclusions: Computer visual syndrome was not significantly related to ergonomics in nursing students. However, it has been reported that most of the students suffer from symptoms of Computer Visual Syndrome, as well as they have a high risk of suffering ergonomic problems.

    “Lesiones musculoesqueléticas detectadas en el personal profesional de enfermería del hospital general de Latacunga y su relación con la aplicación de mecánica corporal”
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato - Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud - Carrera de Enfermería, 2018-10-01) Masapanta Masapanta, Adriana Melissa; Villa Plaza Lic. Mg., Carmen Mercedes
    Globally, musculoskeletal injuries are the main cause of work absenteeism and it is considered that they affect a quarter of the population, being the nurses the main group particularly affected by back pain when compared with other groups of professionals. This is the reason why the research project was developed with the aim of identifying the main musculoskeletal injuries in the professional Nursing staff of the General Hospital Latacunga related to the application of body mechanics. For which an observational, descriptive and correlational methodology was used that included 60 nurses of the General Hospital Latacunga to whom the SIN-DME symptom (Symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders) survey was applied and an observation sheet to establish the level of knowledge and applicability of principles of body mechanics. The study allowed to conclude that the body areas most prone to musculoskeletal injuries in the nursing staff are the back by 63%, 15% in the hands, 12% in the shoulders and 10% in the ankles and feet, due to high exposure in the standing position, when walking and when lifting loads.
