Abstract
Introducción. Los pilares para optimizar la salud, tanto en el entorno público como ambiental de los países a nivel mundial se encuentran en la adecuada gestión residual hospitalaria. Objetivo. Determinar la relación entre el manejo de residuos sólidos hospitalarios y el riesgo laboral en enfermeros de un hospital provincial de Perú. Método. Diseño no experimental, de corte transversal, descriptivo y correlacional. Los participantes fueron enfermeros quienes respondieron a dos instrumentos validados por juicio de expertos con un valor K de Richardson de 0,825 y un alfa de Cronbach de 0,803. Resultados. Los principales resultados identifican un óptimo manejo de los residuos sólidos con un 61.5 % y en el riesgo laboral el 65.4 % de los enfermeros presentan un nivel alto. Según la prueba estadística de R de Pearson se obtuvo un coeficiente de correlación de 0.546 y con un valor de significancia menor al 0.01. Conclusión. Existe un grado de relación directa, alta y significativa entre el manejo de residuos sólidos y el riesgo laboral del enfermero. Por lo tanto, a mejor manejo del uso de los residuos sólidos se reducirá los riesgos de accidentes laborales del enfermero en el servicio de emergencia del hospital.
Introduction The pillars to optimize health both in the public and environmental environment of countries worldwide are found in the adequate hospital residual management. Objective. To determine the relationship between hospital solid waste management and occupational risk in nurses of a provincial hospital in Peru. Method. Non-experimental, cross-sectional, descriptive and correlational design. Participants were nurses who responded to two instruments validated by expert judgment with a Richardson K value of 0.825 and a Cronbach's alpha of 0.803. Results. The main results identify an optimal management of solid waste with 61.5% and in occupational risk 65.4% of nurses have a high level. According to Pearson's R statistical test, a correlation coefficient of 0.546 was obtained and with a significance value of less than 0.01. Conclusion. There is a degree of direct, high and significant relationship between solid waste management and nurses' occupational risk. Therefore, better management of the use of solid waste will reduce the risks of occupational accidents of nurses in the emergency department of the hospital.
