Abstract
Las personas que se desempeñan en el sector floricultor se encuentran expuestos a diversas amenazas perjudiciales para su salud, como exposición a productos químicos, contaminantes biológicos, cargas físicas y mentales, condiciones ambientales inseguras, y estilos de vida poco saludables. Estos factores afectan la calidad de vida y el estado de salud de los trabajadores de este sector. Por lo tanto, se planteó como objetivo de estudio, describir los determinantes de la salud asociados a los de factores de riesgo en los trabajadores de la finca “Eden Roses” en Cayambe. Esta investigación se basó en una metodología descriptiva de enfoque cuantitativo y transversal. Se seleccionó como población de estudio a 100 jornaleros de cultivo y cosecha de la florícola, mientras que la muestra estuvo compuesta por 81 laburantes, la que se obtuvo mediante un muestreo probabilístico intencional. Previamente a este proceso, se llevó a cabo la socialización del estudio y el consentimiento informado. Como resultado de la investigación realizada en la Finca 'Eden Roses', se destaca que el determinante de salud principal es el estilo y hábitos de vida. La mayoría de los trabajadores cumplen disciplinadamente con las normas y protocolos de la finca, demostrando un compromiso notable con su salud y seguridad laboral. Además, se identificaron determinantes de salud asociados con los factores de riesgo existentes en el entorno de trabajo de este sector, como estar expuesto sustancias químicas, especialmente pesticidas y plaguicidas utilizados en la producción de flores, además de una ergonomía deficiente relacionada con las posturas y movimientos repetitivos. También en la pregunta N° 9 consideramos el resultado puesto que un 75% de la población refiere que como causa de trabajar en el sector florícola han desarrollado enfermedades de piel, respiratorias y TME. Se sugiere continuar con investigaciones más detalladas sobre las repercusiones de trabajar en el campo de la floricultura para asegurar la salud de los floricultores. x iii xiii Además, se recomienda desarrollar más modelos o herramientas de evaluación específicamente diseñados para este sector como medida preventiva y de promoción de la salud.
People who work in the flower sector are exposed to various threats that are harmful to their health, such as exposure to chemicals, biological contaminants, physical and mental burdens, unsafe environmental conditions, and unhealthy lifestyles. These factors affect the quality of life and health status of workers in this sector. Therefore, the objective of the study was to describe the health determinants associated with risk factors in the workers of the Eden Roses” farm in Cayambe. This research was based on a descriptive methodology with a quantitative and transversal approach. 100 floricultural cultivation and harvesting laborers were selected as the study population, while the sample was made up of 81 workers, which was obtained through intentional probabilistic sampling. Prior to this process, socialization of the study and informed consent were carried out. As a result of the research carried out at the Eden Roses Farm, it is highlighted that the main determinant of health is lifestyle and lifestyle habits. The majority of workers disciplinedly comply with the farm's rules and protocols, demonstrating a notable commitment to their health and work safety. In addition, health determinants associated with existing risk factors in the work environment of this sector were identified, such as being exposed to chemical substances, especially pesticides and pesticides used in flower production, in addition to poor ergonomics related to postures and repetitive movements. Also in question No. 9 we consider the result since 75% of the population reports that as a result of working in the flower sector they have developed skin, respiratory and MSD diseases. It is suggested to continue with more detailed research on the repercussions of working in the field of floriculture to ensure the health of flower growers. Furthermore, it is recommended to develop more evaluation models or tools specifically designed for this sector as a preventive and health promotion measure.
