Abstract
The health problems that affect nursing personnel in the hospital environment are directly related, to the occupational risks they are exposed dai-ly, resulting in occupational accidents and diseases for nursing personnel. Objecti-ve: To analyze the influence of ergonomic risks on the health status of the nursing staff of the Central de Esterilización of the Hospital de Especialidades Guaya-quil Dr. Abel Gilbert Pontón 2019. Metho-dology: the design was quantitative. The study was descriptive, observational and cross-sectional. The population consis-ted of 24 individuals corresponding to the Central de Esterilización, the information collection techniques were the survey and the instrument was the questionnaire.Results: 54% of the respondents stated that the environment is irregular, and only 33% expressed that it was good. Showing that in the work environment there are no adequate conditions for the optimal per-formance of their daily tasks due to the lack of lighting, sudden changes in tem-perature, poor air quality. In addition, to the injuries shown by the nurses, 29% have pain in the back and shoulders, 13% have pain in the waist, arms and neck and only 4% pain in the legs, indicating that all of these workers are exposed to muscle problems. Conclusions: ergono-mic risks interfere with productivity since they cause physical and mental damage to nursing personnel, due to the overload of the skeletal muscle apparatus and the cognitive function of the worker
