Objective: To estimate the ergonomic risks of the nursing staff of the Neonatology service in Tena hospital, in the month of May 2021. Methods: Descriptive observational study. Results: 70.4% of the cases did not receive pharmacological or physiotherapeutic treatment before the appearance of the complaints. In turn, 90.7% reported that the causes were associated with the work activity. Conclusion: The main ergonomic risks identified were associated with the adoption of postures in which one or more parts of the body remain static, and the assumption of unstable postures. All cases were found to be exposed to medium to high ergonomic risk levels, requiring action in all cases, and immediate action in a smaller number of cases. Musculoskeletal symptoms were mostly in the neck, back, wrists and hands, as well as in the shoulders.
