Implementation of preventive measures to reduce psychosocial risks causing work-related stress in workers of the Voluntad de Dios Farm, Santo Domingo 2024.

Abstract

This research project aimed to implement preventive measures to reduce psychosocial risks causing work-related stress among the workers at the Voluntad de Dios farm, through the application of the SUSESO/ISTAS 21 Psychosocial Risk Assessment Questionnaire. The research emerged from identifying the activities performed by workers that have the potential to cause work-related stress, as well as from the limited knowledge about these risks and their effects on job performance and personal life. The study was conducted with an exploratory design, using a qualitative and descriptive approach. The questionnaire includes 21 psychosocial dimensions, covering a broad spectrum of potential psychosocial exposures in the current work environment. An analysis was conducted on the data obtained regarding the activities performed by the workers. The results highlight the impact on the farm workers, influenced by their current activities and working conditions. Finally, as part of the research process and results, we propose improvement strategies aimed at minimizing psychosocial risk factors.
