Abstract

HERNANDEZ HERNANDEZ, Hanna et al. Characteristics of pregnant workers and maternity protection procedures: multicenter study. Rev Asoc Esp Espec Med Trab [online]. 2020, vol.29, n.4, pp.340-350.  Epub Feb 08, 2021. ISSN 3020-1160.

Objectives:

Describe and compare the characteristics of the workers who requested the risk assessment during pregnancy to the participating Occupational Risk Prevention Services. Identify the association between the response time and the request for risk assessment during the pregnancy.

Material and Methods:

Descriptive/analytical and multicenter study of female workers who reported their pregnancy between January 2017 and December 2018. The information was obtained from the clinical-occupational history and risk sheet.

Results:

959 workers were studied. When comparing the variables: age, body mass index, smoking, workplace and profession, significant differences were obtained, as well as in the mean response time.

Conclusions:

The average age of the pregnant workers was high. Most were nurses from hospital and specialized care centers. The response time of the risk assessment during pregnancy should be improved.
