Most occupational accidents are evidenced by a loss of worker control over the procedures they carry out.
Objective:
To establish the neuropsychological tests used to assess the cognitive profile of workers as a measure to prevent workplace accidents.Method:
An advanced and manual systematic search of databases (PubMed / MedLine, Web of Science, Scopus, Science Direct, Cochrane Library) was performed to evaluate the neuropsychological tests used in work settings.Results:
The systematic review yielded 1777 articles, of which 150 were pre-selected according to what was reported in the abstract and 57 validated for complete reading. 21 articles were used for the narrative synthesis with a sample of two thousand eight hundred and fifty-four (2,854) subjects; and a range of 18 to 60 years.Conclusion:
The limited number of investigations that establish the neuropsychological profiles associated with occupational accidents are evident.
Los accidentes laborales en su gran mayoría se evidencian por una pérdida del control del trabajador sobre los procedimientos que desarrolla.
