[en] The objective was to analyze the association between psychosocial risk factors, organizational dimensions, workplace violence, and indicators of mental health problems in three Chilean hospitals. A total of 1,023 workers answered a questionnaire, and descriptive, bivariate (chi-square), and multivariate (logistic regression with odds ratio as the measure of association) analyses were performed. Of all the interviewees, 14.7% reported workplace violence. Increased odds of workplace violence were associated with exposure to ISOSTRAIN (OR = 2.32, p = 0.001), effort-reward imbalance (OR = 5.52, p ≤ 0.001), tyrannical leadership (OR = 3.02, p ≤ 0.001), and vulnerability (OR = 1.97, p = 0.010). Workers exposed to ISOSTRAIN (OR = 1.78, p = 0.024), effort-reward imbalance (OR = 2.49, p = 0.001), workplace violence (OR = 2.13, p = 0.003), and vulnerability (OR = 2.29, p = 0.001) showed increased odds of high stress when compared to unexposed workers. Workers exposed to effort-reward imbalance (OR = 2.84, p ≤ 0.001) and workplace violence (OR = 1.76, p = 0.041) showed higher odds of reporting depressive symptoms. Those exposed to effort-reward imbalance (OR = 2.07, p ≤ 0.001) and work vulnerability (OR = 1.96, p = 0.001) showed higher odds of consuming psychoactive drugs. Work contexts with psychosocial risk factors, adverse organizational dimensions, and work vulnerability were associated with higher odds of workplace violence. Workers exposed to workplace violence, psychosocial risks, and vulnerability have higher odds of reporting mental health problems.

[es] El objetivo fue analizar la asociación entre factores de riesgos psicosociales, dimensiones organizacionales, violencia laboral e indicadores de problemas de salud mental en tres hospitales chilenos. Mil veintitrés trabajadores respondieron una encuesta, se realizó análisis descriptivos, bivariados (chi-cuadrado) y multivariados (regresión logística con odds ratio como medida de asociación). El 14,7% de los encuestados reporta violencia laboral. Tienen más oportunidad de reportar violencia laboral los/as trabajadores/as expuestos a ISOSTRAIN (OR = 2,32, p = 0,001); desequilibrio esfuerzo-recompensa (OR = 5,52, p ≤ 0,001); liderazgo tiránico (OR = 3,02, p ≤ 0,001) y vulnerabilidad (OR = 1,97, p = 0,010), respecto a los no expuestos. Los expuestos a ISOSTRAIN (OR = 1,78, p = 0,024); desequilibrio esfuerzo-recompensa (OR = 2,49, p = 0,001); violencia laboral (OR = 2,13, p = 0,003) y vulnerabilidad (OR = 2,29, p = 0,001) tienen más oportunidad de reportar distrés elevado, en relación a los no expuestos. Los expuestos a desequilibrio esfuerzo-recompensa (OR = 2,84, p ≤ 0,001) y violencia laboral (OR = 1,76, p = 0,041) tienen más oportunidad de reportar síntomas depresivos que los no expuestos. Los expuestos a desequilibrio esfuerzo-recompensa (OR = 2,07, p ≤ 0,001) y vulnerabilidad laboral (OR = 1,96, p = 0,001) tienen más oportunidad de consumir psicotrópicos. Los contextos laborales con factores de riesgos psicosociales, dimensiones organizacionales adversas y vulnerabilidad laboral se asocian a una mayor oportunidad de violencia laboral. Asimismo, trabajadores expuestos a violencia laboral, riesgos psicosociales y vulnerabilidad tienen mayor oportunidad de reportar problemas de salud mental.
