Methods: A qualitative, hermeneutic-comprehensive approach was used. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, coded, and thematically analyzed. The findings were compared with similar studies to enhance the discussion.Results: Workers experienced injuries such as lacerations, fractures, low back pain, concussions, sprains, and muscle strains. Reported sequelae included physical, emotional, and psychological effects. Additionally, economic, occupational, and family consequences were identified. Some workers received healthcare and financial compensation from Occupational Risk Administrators, yet these benefits were perceived as insufficient.Conclusions: Workers face multidimensional impacts beyond physical impairments. The current strategies focus on medical rehabilitation and financial compensation but do not ensure comprehensive recovery, including job stability, emotional well-being, and social reintegration. A rehabilitation model integrating mental health services, social support, and vocational reintegration is needed to address system gaps and improve workers’ quality of life. 2024 artículo científico 2322-634X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=733782620006 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/7337/733782620006/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/7337/733782620006/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/7337/733782620006/733782620006.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/7337/733782620006/movil 10.18041/2322-634X/rcso.2.2024.12020 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=7337 Revista Colombiana de Salud Ocupacional application/pdf Universidad Libre Revista Colombiana de Salud Ocupacional (Colombia) Num.2 Vol.14 |
