Resumen

Objetivo: Examinar la relación entre la actividad física medida objetivamente y el estrés ocupacional en diferentes entornos laborales.
Métodos: Las palabras clave relacionadas con los participantes elegibles (adultos y trabajadores), las intervenciones (actividad física medida por objetivo), la comparación (grupo de control o línea de base), el resultado (estrés) y el diseño del estudio (estudios observacionales) se combinaron utilizando términos booleanos.
Resultados: De 1524 registros identificados en diferentes bases de datos, se incluyeron 12 artículos en esta revisión sistemática. La mayoría de los estudios se realizaron en Europa (66,7%) y se examinaron los profesionales de la salud (50,0%) como grupos ocupacionales. Los ítems incluidos sumaron 2.082 trabajadores. Trabajadores manuales (20,7% [n = 430]) y empleados administrativos (18,3% [n = 382]), médico residente (6,5% [n = 135]) y servicios de protección (9,7% [n = 202] ) fueron las ocupaciones más frecuentes. La actividad física fue mayor entre los trabajadores "manuales" que entre los trabajadores "administrativos", y las enfermeras que trabajaban por turnos eran más activas que los trabajadores que no trabajaban por turnos y que trabajaban en oficinas. El aumento de la carga de trabajo mental no se asoció con el tiempo dedicado a actividades físicas en la mayoría (10 [83,3%)]) de los estudios incluidos.
Conclusión: En conclusión, algunos grupos ocupacionales tienen mayor riesgo de altos niveles de estrés, independientemente de la práctica de actividad física en la mayoría de los estudios. Sigue siendo necesario realizar estudios con metodologías sólidas y que cubran diferentes grupos de trabajadores.
