Publication Open Access The relationship between perceived health and psychosocial risk in women in the service sector (cleaning)(IOS Press, 2022) López-Goñi, José Javier; Haro Escribano, Begoña; Fernández Suárez, Iván; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun ZientziakBACKGROUND: Cleaning is considered a female-dominant occupation. Women cleaning workers present a high risk of suffering impaired health probably as a result of performing low-skilled tasks. However, to date, no studies have been found that examine the health status of female cleaning workers in Spain. OBJECTIVE: The objectives were to 1) determine the level of perceived health in a sample of female cleaning workers, 2) evaluate the main psychosocial risks they face, 3) explore the relationship between perceived health and psychosocial risk factors, and 4) compare the perceived health of those women who present some psychosocial risk factor and those who do not. METHODS: This is a multi-centered cross-sectional study carried out in the service sector of a Spanish company. The final sample was composed of 455 female cleaning workers. Sociodemographic variables, perceived health status and psychosocial risk factors were assessed. RESULTS: Women presented a high perception of health status. The main psychosocial risk was lack of acknowledgement by their superiors, which affected 25.2% (n=111) of the sample. Moderate negative correlations (r=-.222 to -.442; p < .01) were identified between perceived health and evident psychosocial risks. Those women who presented some psychosocial risk (n = 174; 38.3%) had a worse state of perceived health in all variables studied. CONCLUSIONS: Presence of psychosocial risk had a relationship with a worse health perception. This article highlights the need to orient preventive actions in the psychosocial field. The COVID-19 pandemic represents a new situation to renew the health promotion between cleaning workers.Publication Open Access Profiles of women who have suffered occupational accidents in cleaning: perceived health, psychosocial risks, and personality variables(Springer, 2022) Fernández Suárez, Iván; López-Goñi, José Javier; Haro Escribano, Begoña; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun Zientziak; Universidad Pública de Navara / Nafarroako Unibertsitate PublikoaPurpose: The main goal was to identify the variables (sociodemographic, work, psychosocial, perceived health, and personality) associated with occupational accidents sufered in the past by women in the cleaning sector. Methods: A sample of 455 women was evaluated. Results: A total of 23.5% of the workers (n=107) had sufered an occupational accident with medical leave. In general, women who had sufered some accident in their life had a worse situation in all areas evaluated. Two subsamples of women had a greater association with accidents. Specifcally, the presence of work accidents was 15.9 times higher among those who presented a worse perception of their physical efort and a greater tendency towards risky behaviours and 13.5 times higher among those who had a moderate perception of physical exertion and a disability. Conclusion: In general, the characteristics of female workers were found to be associated with diferent accident rates. Preventive actions should be designed individually.
