Abstract

Objective: To determine the effectiveness of the implementation of psychosocial intervention based on BMI records before and after stimulation in the company SifizSoft S.A., Ecuador. Method: Pre-experimental post-test design of a single observational group. Conclusion: The effectiveness of the implementation of the psychosocial intervention was determined based on the BMI records before and after the stimulation in the company SifizSoft S.A., Ecuador and the research hypothesis was rejected, so the stimulation to this psychosocial prevention program was not related to significant changes in BMI. Occupational diseases and accidents at work cause many pathologies that can lead to occupational diseases or even as a triggering factor for the shortening of life or death.
