Abstract
La seguridad y salud en el trabajo constituyen un componente esencial en la
sostenibilidad de los servicios de salud, especialmente en áreas asistenciales donde los
profesionales están expuestos a riesgos físicos y ergonómicos derivados de las exigencias
laborales. En este contexto, la presente investigación tuvo como propósito identificar los peligros
ergonómicos asociados a las actividades de fisioterapia en el Centro Clínico IPS SERINTSA
LTDA, mediante el diseño de una herramienta digital tipo Dashboard en Google Sheets,
orientada al fortalecimiento de la gestión preventiva y al apoyo de la toma de decisiones
institucionales.
El estudio adoptó un enfoque cuantitativo de tipo descriptivo, complementado con
elementos cualitativos para la validación del instrumento. La población estuvo conformada por
los fisioterapeutas activos en la institución, quienes participaron en la aplicación de una encuesta
estructurada digital fundamentada en los lineamientos de la GTC-45:2012, con el fin de
identificar factores de riesgo ergonómico relacionados con posturas forzadas, movimientos
repetitivos y manipulación manual de pacientes. Los datos obtenidos fueron analizados mediante
estadística descriptiva, determinando los niveles de exposición y la magnitud del riesgo en cada
actividad asistencial.
Como resultado, se evidenció una alta prevalencia de posturas mantenidas, esfuerzos
físicos y sobrecarga de extremidades superiores, lo cual incrementa el riesgo de desarrollar
trastornos musculoesqueléticos. Con base en estos hallazgos, se diseñó un DASHBOARD
Digital propuesto que permite procesar y visualizar los resultados de la evaluación ergonómica
mediante un sistema de clasificación tipo semáforo (verde, amarillo, rojo), facilitando la
priorización de riesgos y la planificación de intervenciones preventivas.
Finalmente, se formularon medidas específicas, prácticas y sostenibles de mejora
ergonómica, clasificadas en acciones preventivas, correctivas y administrativas, dirigidas a la
reducción de la carga física, la promoción del autocuidado y la integración del monitoreo digital
dentro del Sistema de Gestión de Seguridad y Salud en el Trabajo (SG-SST). La investigación
demuestra que la incorporación de herramientas digitales en la gestión ergonómica representa
una estrategia innovadora y viable para mejorar la seguridad laboral del talento humano en salud
y contribuir al fortalecimiento de la cultura preventiva en el ámbito clínico.
Occupational health and safety are essential components of sustainability in healthcare services, particularly in clinical areas where professionals are exposed to physical and ergonomic risks due to the demands of their work. In this context, the present research aimed to identify ergonomic hazards associated with physiotherapy activities at the Centro Clínico IPS SERINTSA LTDA through the design of a digital Dashboard tool in Google Sheets, intended to strengthen preventive management and support institutional decision-making. The study adopted a quantitative descriptive approach, complemented by qualitative elements for instrument validation. The target population consisted of physiotherapists working in the institution, who participated in the application of a structured digital survey based on the guidelines of GTC-45:2012, aimed at identifying ergonomic risk factors related to awkward postures, repetitive movements, and manual patient handling. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to determine exposure levels and the magnitude of risk in each clinical activity. Results revealed a high prevalence of sustained postures, physical exertion, and upper limb overload, increasing the likelihood of developing musculoskeletal disorders. Based on these findings, a proposed Digital Dashboard was designed to process and visualize ergonomic risk results through a traffic light classification system (green, yellow, red), allowing for risk prioritization and the planning of preventive interventions. Finally, specific, practical, and sustainable ergonomic improvement measures were proposed, grouped into preventive, corrective, and administrative actions aimed at reducing physical workload, promoting self-care, and integrating digital monitoring within the Occupational Health and Safety Management System (SG-SST). This research demonstrates that incorporating digital tools into ergonomic management represents an innovative and feasible strategy to enhance occupational safety among healthcare professionals and strengthen the preventive culture in clinical environments.
