(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-06-23) Contreras Balaguera, Cristhians Yorkanys; Monsalve Franco, Ingri Tatiana; Cepeda Buena, Viviana Alexandra; Universidad Santo Tomás
General Objective To analyze the risk factors associated with the development of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) among office workers, as reported in the scientific literature published between 2020 and 2025. Specific Objectives -To identify the primary occupational risk factors associated with the development of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome among office workers based on scientific literature published during the last five years. -To examine the physical consequences of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in office workers according to scientific evidence published between 2020 and 2025. -To propose evidence-based intervention and prevention strategies aimed at reducing the occurrence of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in office work environments. Scoping reviews are designed to map key concepts and synthesize the available evidence on a specific topic without being restricted to the critical appraisal of individual studies. Consequently, they constitute an appropriate methodological approach for examining multifactorial health conditions such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome in office-based occupations. A systematic literature review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines (Page et al., 2021), considering publications from 2020 to 2025. Through this process, the variables and indicators relevant to the present study were identified in 19 scientific articles, enabling the research questions to be addressed comprehensively. A pathophysiological analysis is essential for understanding the mechanisms underlying injury development. The reviewed studies indicate that maintaining the wrist in extreme flexion or extension positions leads to a substantial increase in intracarpal hydrostatic pressure. Consequently, office furniture and workstation designs that fail to support a neutral wrist posture may contribute directly to neural ischemia and subsequent neurological damage. The physical consequences of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome among administrative personnel encompass a progressive spectrum of impairment, evolving from sensory dysfunction to motor deficits that adversely affect functional independence, work performance, and overall productivity.

(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-06-23) López Soto, Allison Michelle; Poveda Ortega, Laura Sofia; Fuentes Arias, Jorge Emilio; Ayala Sarasty, Juliana; Universidad Santo Tomas
The objective of this monograph is to analyze the available evidence on biomechanical risk factors associated with the development of musculoskeletal injuries in call center workers. It was conducted using a qualitative approach through the analysis of 16 scientific articles published between 2015 and 2025. The results allowed the identification of three biomechanical risk factors: posture as the most relevant factor, repetitive movements with greater impact on the upper limbs, and muscle load related to sustained physical effort, which act simultaneously increasing the risk of injury to the worker. On the other hand, it was found that the neck (90%) and the lumbar region (78%) are the most affected body segments, followed by the upper limbs, especially wrists and shoulders. Likewise, sedentary activities, continuous use of screens, and the absence of active breaks increase biomechanical load, raising the risk of developing musculoskeletal injuries. These findings are related to theoretical models that determine the accumulation of mechanical load in tissues and its impact on workers' health. Keywords: biomechanical risk factor, musculoskeletal injuries, ergonomics, call center, physical load.

(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-06-22) Diandra Marcela Urbina Daza; Santiago Tamayo Escobar; Yolicette Bolívar Cabarcas ; Universidad Santo Tomas
This research aimed to analyze biomechanical risk factors and their effects on the health of workers in the manufacturing sector in Colombia, based on scientific literature published between 2020 and 2025. The study was conducted using a qualitative approach and a documentary review design in the form of a scoping monograph, following the guidelines established by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). Ergonomics was addressed as a discipline focused on adapting working conditions to human capabilities in order to promote safety, health, and productivity. From the biomechanical model perspective, continuous exposure to physical forces, repetitive movements, awkward postures, and manual material handling can lead to musculoskeletal disorders due to the accumulation of microtrauma in muscles, tendons, and joints. Information was collected through a systematic review of scientific articles, books, technical reports, and national and international regulations. The selected studies were organized into a documentary review matrix to facilitate analysis. Findings were classified into categories related to ergonomics, biomechanical risks, musculoskeletal disorders, working conditions, productivity, and preventive measures. The results showed that the main biomechanical risks in manufacturing microenterprises are awkward postures, repetitive movements, and manual handling of loads. These factors are significantly associated with occupational diseases such as low back pain, tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and neck pain, negatively affecting workers’ health, increasing absenteeism, and reducing productivity. The review also identified the most commonly reported preventive measures, including ergonomic workstation redesign, active break programs, and the application of ergonomic assessment methods. However, their implementation remains limited due to economic, technical, and training constraints. Consequently, biomechanical risks continue to represent a significant occupational health challenge in Colombia’s manufacturing sector.

(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-06-18) Osorio Gómez, Johana Carolina; Salas Perdomo, María Daniela; Alvarado Polo, Lucy Fernanda; Cortés Zabala, Zuly Janeth; Universidad Santo Tomás
This research is a qualitative, documentary study that involved a literature review on the impacts of psychosocial risk factors on call center workers. It analyzed the main consequences of these factors, their effects on service quality, and identified strategies and recommendations for improving the mental health of this workforce. The review revealed that call center workers, due to constant exposure to conditions of mental and emotional overload, face a high risk of experiencing work-related stress, anxiety disorders, depression, sleep disorders, physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion, or burnout syndrome (referred to in this document as "burned-out worker syndrome"). They also experience job demotivation, irritability, frustration, and low job performance. These issues impact not only the mental health and job performance of the workers but also the organizations themselves, resulting in low productivity, decreased service quality, absenteeism, employee turnover, high staff turnover, increased accidents and occupational illnesses, and a deteriorating organizational climate. Finally, it is concluded that beyond compliance with existing regulations in Colombia, it is important to strengthen strategies for the prevention and promotion of mental health among call center workers. This can be achieved through motivational campaigns, wellness programs, emotional support strategies, flexible work schedules, promotion of healthy lifestyles, resilience building, training in stress management and assertive communication, as well as actions aimed at preventing work overload and improving working conditions. These measures contribute to the well-being of workers and the sustainability of organizations.

Desórdenes musculoesqueléticos en trabajadores del sector de la construcción: revisión de alcance de factores de riesgo ergonómicos y estrategias de intervención
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-06-05) Echeverri Silva, Devyani k´mila; Gutierrez Carrillo, Valentina; Gonzalez Pabon, Liceth Alexandra; Universidad Santo Tomas
usculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) represent one of the leading causes of occupational disease in the construction sector due to their impact on workers’ health, functional capacity, and productivity. In this context, the present study aimed to analyze and map the available scientific evidence related to ergonomic risk factors and intervention strategies associated with MSDs among construction workers. This research was conducted through a Scoping Review developed under the PRISMA-ScR methodological guidelines, internationally recognized for the systematic organization and reporting of this type of review. The bibliographic search was carried out in different scientific databases and included publications between 2010 and 2025. This time frame was selected due to the growing number of studies related to occupational ergonomics, epidemiological surveillance, and biomechanical risk management in the construction sector. Initially, 93 potentially relevant studies were identified. After applying the previously established inclusion and exclusion criteria and conducting the evaluation process through a checklist, 29 studies were selected for the final analysis. The excluded studies did not meet the eligibility criteria, mainly because they were not directly related to the construction sector or did not address ergonomic risk factors associated with musculoskeletal disorders. The findings showed that the main ergonomic risk factors were manual material handling, awkward postures, repetitive movements, and prolonged exposure to high biomechanical loads. To a lesser extent, factors related to work organization were also identified. Likewise, frequent use of ergonomic assessment methods such as REBA, RULA, and OWAS was identified. These methods were used to quantify biomechanical exposure and support preventive intervention strategies focused on reducing MSDs. Overall, the results indicate that although there is consolidated scientific evidence regarding ergonomic risk factors in the construction sector, limitations persist in the effective implementation of preventive interventions within occupational environments. Therefore, the study highlights the need to strengthen ergonomic risk management within the framework of Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems (OHSMS), especially through the design and implementation of musculoskeletal epidemiological surveillance programs

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) management has traditionally focused on reactive actions, which limits the ability to anticipate workplace accidents. In this context, artificial intelligence emerges as an alternative that can strengthen prevention through the use of predictive analysis models. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to analyze the use of these tools in predicting workplace accidents as a strategy to support and improve the Occupational Health and Safety Management System, based on a review of scientific evidence published between 2019 and 2025. A scoping review was conducted through a systematic search of information in international academic databases such as Scopus and ScienceDirect, complemented by academic search engines like Google Scholar and university institutional repositories. The search included research articles, review papers, technical documents, and relevant regulations in both Spanish and English. The collected information was organized according to application sectors, techniques used, and reported results. The findings show an increase in scientific production on the use of artificial intelligence in OHS, with a predominance of machine learning techniques such as Random Forest and Support Vector Machines. These tools contribute to risk anticipation and decision-making processes; however, they also present limitations related to data quality, technological requirements, and ethical considerations. Overall, their application can support the strengthening of OHS management systems, provided that appropriate technical and organizational conditions are in place.

The promotion of healthy lifestyles in the workplace represents a priority strategy for workers' well-being and organizational sustainability. This study aimed to analyze the strategies, benefits, and limitations of this promotion based on the scientific evidence available between 2020 and 2025, through a scoping review that followed the methodological framework proposed by Arksey and O'Malley (2005), updated by the Joanna Briggs Institute (Peters et al., 2020). The search was conducted in five databases: Scopus, PubMed, SciELO, Redalyc, and Google Scholar, using search equations built under the PCC methodology in both Spanish and English. Out of a total of 6,700 identified records, 40 studies that met the established eligibility criteria were selected. The findings showed that multicomponent interventions, combining educational, environmental transformation, and organizational approaches, are the most effective in promoting sustained changes in workers' habits. Documented benefits included improvements in physical and mental health indicators, reductions in absenteeism of up to 28%, and returns on investment exceeding 2.7 dollars for every dollar invested. The main limitations identified were low sustained participation among workers, lack of managerial support, insufficient resources in small and medium-sized enterprises, and labor informality, which in Colombia reaches 57.2% of the employed population. It is concluded that, while the evidence supports the effectiveness of these programs, their implementation in contexts of high informality such as Colombia requires adapted strategies and organizational policies that integrate well-being as a genuine institutional priority.

(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-05-25) Hernández Tunarrosa, Wendy Karina; Bustamante Cruz, Isabel Sofia; Valbuena Mogollón, Laura Camila; Cepeda Buenahora, Viviana Alexandra; Universidad Santo Tomas
The purpose of this study was to analyze the ergonomic risks present among remote workers in Colombia after the COVID-19 pandemic, providing insights to strengthen preventive strategies in teleworking contexts. Using a qualitative approach and an applied documentary design, scientific articles, institutional reports, technical documents, and Colombian regulations published between 2019 and 2024 were reviewed. The content analysis was organized into categories such as posture, furniture, lighting, screen exposure time, and domestic work conditions. Findings showed that the most frequent ergonomic risks were prolonged static postures, non-adjustable furniture, inadequate lighting, and continuous screen exposure. These factors increased musculoskeletal disorders in the neck, back, shoulders, and upper limbs, as well as visual fatigue. Evidence also indicated that many Colombian households lack proper ergonomic conditions and that organizations do not always provide ergonomic guidance, training, or preventive measures for remote work. The discussion revealed that these results are consistent with national and international studies, while contributing novelty by examining the persistence of risks in the post-pandemic period. Recommendations include improving workstation setup, reorganizing work schedules, and strengthening institutional support within the Occupational Health and Safety Management System. In conclusion, remote work continues to pose ergonomic challenges that require timely interventions and further research through direct evaluations in home environments.
