Impact of Psychosocial Stress on the Morbidity of Healthcare Professionals

We have analysed the impact of psychosocial risks on the health of hospital staff, in an attempt to determine whether there is a correlation between the risk level assessed and the number of days of medical absenteeism through diseases with psychosocial stress as a contributory or aggravating factor. There is a strong correlation between the risk level assessed by sectors of activity and the number of days of medical absenteeism through diseases caused or favoured, potentially aggravated by occupational psychosocial stress.
