Factores de riesgo psicosociales asociados a los trastornos mentales y del comportamiento en trabajadores del sector construcción: revisión documental 2020-2025
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 0021-10-26) Ortiz Meneses, Paula Andrea; Reyes Duarte, Sonia Astrid; Universidad Santo Tomás
This monograph aimed to analyze psychosocial risk factors associated with mental and behavioral disorders among workers in the construction sector, based on scientific literature published between 2020 and 2025. A narrative documentary review was conducted using a qualitative approach and a descriptive-analytical scope. The selected studies were organized through documentary analysis matrices and subsequently coded using ATLAS.ti, based on categories related to psychosocial risk factors, mental health outcomes, and occupations within the sector. The results showed a greater presence of workplace-related psychosocial factors, particularly those associated with job demands and emotional demands, as well as workload and work pace, working hours, job insecurity, leadership, role clarity, and social support. Factors outside the workplace and individual factors were less frequently represented, although they were also part of the relationships identified. Regarding mental health, work-related stress and burnout were the categories most frequently reported in the reviewed literature, followed by anxiety and depression. The findings also showed that these conditions were studied among both operational workers and professional and technical personnel. It was concluded that psychosocial factors are an important component in understanding mental health in the construction sector and that their prevention requires consideration of work organization as well as external and individual conditions, without interpreting the identified associations as direct causal relationships.

This consultancy project aimed to design an improvement proposal for the purchasing and consumption process of the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) line at Incubadora Santander S.A. (Huevos Kikes) during the 2025 - 2026 period. Faced with an unjustified 32.48% increase (approximately $278 million COP) in PPE expenditure, the project began by consolidating order and delivery databases, which allowed for the identification of critical price and quantity deviations. During field visits across operational processes, the actual consumption behavior of each PPE in use was verified, proving that the problem extended beyond the initial purchase price. The main root causes identified were the acquisition of low-quality PPE that required constant replacements, erroneous requisitions by leaders due to the difficult interpretation of the existing PPE matrices (2023 versions), and inventory leakage resulting from not requiring employees to return damaged equipment. As a comprehensive solution and innovative contribution, an interactive visual PPE catalog and a formal delivery and replacement policy were structured, and a digital mobile application was developed using AppSheet. The project concluded with the successful execution of pilot tests in operational control zones, mandatory socialization completed with 100% of national leaders in February 2026, and executive approval for the officialization of deliverables and their national rollout starting March 2026, alongside the establishment of a joint working committee with the purchasing department for continuous indicator monitoring.
Criterios para evaluar la articulación institucional en los procesos de acompañamiento y seguimiento a niños, niñas y adolescentes víctimas del reclutamiento forzado en Ocaña, Norte de Santander
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-10-22) Palacio Rivadeneira, Carlos Andrés; Peñaranda Guerrero, Ana Camila; Anchila Antolinez, Maria Elsa; Universidad Santo Tomás
This article proposes criteria for evaluating institutional coordination in the support and follow-up processes for children and adolescents who are victims of forced recruitment in Ocaña, Norte de Santander, during 2023–2026. Using a qualitative and documentary approach, the study develops a five-dimensional evaluation matrix to guide the assessment of institutional coordination, comprehensive care, and the protection of victims' rights.

(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-11-17) Borda Gómez, Juan David; Pardo Pinzón, Rubby Stella; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001410851; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001838154; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4182-9195; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3820-057X
According to Yunda (2017), more than 55,000 households are formed annually in Bogotá; there is a significant relationship here: if more construction companies dedicated to housing development are established, the supply available to the population will increase, thereby enhancing the ability of lower socioeconomic strata to purchase homes. When a low-income family (socioeconomic stratum 2) purchases a formal housing unit within a real estate development, previously occupied housing becomes available to families from lower socioeconomic strata. Furthermore, as the number of construction companies continues to grow each year, developers are required to improve the quality standards and performance of their projects in order to remain competitive. In 2020, the relationship between constructed and required housing units revealed a deficit of approximately 40% in meeting housing demand, with this shortage increasing progressively each year. By 2025, 60% of the housing projects developed in Bogotá were classified as Priority Interest Housing (VIP) and Social Interest Housing (VIS), resulting in the construction of more than 50,000 housing units. This trend supports the objective of this research project, which focuses on the development of housing solutions for different socioeconomic groups within society (Secretariat del Habitat de Bogotá, 2026). The largest concentration of homebuyers in Colombia is in Bogotá, generating the country's highest real estate flows between Bogotá and the department of Cundinamarca (Camacol, 2026). For this reason, companies such as Capital, a construction firm based in Antioquia, have identified opportunities to develop projects in Cundinamarca, particularly in Bogotá. This expansion reflects the successful socioeconomic growth experienced by the country's capital city.
Caracterización De las Estrategias Pedagógicas Implementadas Por los Docentes Para la Atención De Estudiantes Con Trastorno Del Espectro Autista De Un Colegio De la Ciudad De Tumaco
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-10-22) Villota Vallecilla, Lisbeth; Vergara Estupiñán, Lady Mayerli; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000939765; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=u3gQwM0AAAAJ&hl=es; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8298-4802
Within the framework of inclusive education and given the increase in diagnoses of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in regular classrooms, this research aimed to characterize the pedagogical strategies implemented by elementary school teachers at the Naval School of Tumaco for the support of students with ASD. The focus was on teachers' knowledge, the criteria guiding their decisions, and the institutional conditions related to their implementation. A qualitative study was conducted, using an interpretive paradigm, with a descriptive scope and an instrumental case study design. Participants included elementary school teachers and members of the administrative team who had or had not had contact with children diagnosed with ASD at the school. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews, a checklist, and document review, and analyzed using content analysis. The results indicate that knowledge about ASD is primarily constructed from professional experience and contact with students. The study found that some teachers demonstrated a greater mastery of inclusive strategies while others required specialized training and resources. They identified strategies for making teaching more flexible, including visual aids, adapting activities, organizing routines, and differentiated assessment. In the studied context, these pedagogical strategies exhibit varying levels of adoption and are related to professional knowledge, reflection on practice, and available institutional resources. Institutional support through the Individualized Education Plan (IEP) and the commitment of school leadership are particularly noteworthy.
