Análisis de la Percepción de Riesgos Psicosociales en Personas con Trastorno Mental Grave en el Contexto Laboral

A component in the rehabilitation and community integration of the person with a severe mental disorder is the one aimed at favoring the finding and maintenance of their job. Within work environments, the analysis of psychosocial risks is essential. The objective of this work is to identify the factors that contribute to psychosocial risks. The sample was 175 workers (70% males), mostly schizophrenia-diagnosis (45.7%) and working as a laborer (49.1%). It is a multi-center study, transversal design, with a single sample. The variables measured were sociodemographic, labor, clinical and psychosocial risk (DECORE). Psychosocial risks are detected in issues such as reward and control. There are significant differences in the perception of psychosocial risks between the people who work in CEE and in the regular company in the scales of cognitive demands (t = -3.268, gl = 173, p < 0.05) and reward (t = 2.479, gl = 173, p < 0.05). The results have implications for companies, workers, Public Administrations and the CRL themselves.
