Desigualdades invisibles: género y riesgos laborales en el entorno sanitario

Abstract

[SPA] Este Trabajo de Fin de Máster se centra en cómo influye la perspectiva de género en la prevención de riesgos laborales dentro del sector sanitario, un ámbito profundamente feminizado, pero donde las políticas preventivas siguen respondiendo, en muchos casos, a un modelo masculino estándar. A través de una metodología mixta, que combina el análisis de documentación institucional y la recogida de datos mediante encuestas, se han identificado carencias importantes en la forma en que se aplican las medidas de prevención desde un enfoque igualitario. La parte empírica del estudio se desarrolló con la participación de 60 profesionales sanitarios de dos hospitales de la Región de Murcia —uno público y otro privado—. Sus respuestas permitieron visibilizar desigualdades que afectan especialmente a las mujeres, como la escasa adaptación de los Equipos de Protección Individual (EPI), la inexistencia o desconocimiento de protocolos para el embarazo o la lactancia, y una carga psicosocial intensificada por la doble jornada y la falta de conciliación. A partir de estos hallazgos, se proponen una serie de medidas para avanzar hacia una prevención más justa y efectiva: rediseño de los EPI con enfoque ergonómico femenino, implementación real de protocolos específicos, coordinación entre planes de igualdad y PRL, y formación que integre la dimensión de género como elemento clave. El trabajo concluye subrayando la necesidad de políticas preventivas más sensibles, que tengan en cuenta las realidades del personal sanitario y promuevan entornos laborales más seguros y equitativos.[ENG] This master’s Thesis focuses on how the gender perspective influences occupational risk prevention in the healthcare sector — a highly feminized field where, in many cases, preventive policies still respond to a standard malecentered model. Using a mixed-methods approach that combines institutional document analysis with data collection through surveys, the study identifies significant shortcomings in how prevention measures are applied from a gender-equal standpoint. The empirical part of the study was carried out with the participation of 60 healthcare professionals from two hospitals in the Region of Murcia — one public and one private. Their responses reveal inequalities that especially affect women, such as the poor adaptation of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), the lack or absence of protocols for pregnancy and breastfeeding and increased psychosocial strain due to the double workload and lack of work-life balance. Based on these findings, the study proposes several measures to move toward fairer and more effective prevention: redesigning PPE with an ergonomic approach tailored to women, real implementation of specific protocols, improved coordination between equality plans and occupational risk prevention strategies, and training that integrates gender as a key dimension. The thesis concludes by emphasizing the need for more sensitive and inclusive preventive policies that reflect the realities of healthcare personnel and promote safer and more equitable work environments.
