that he professional complies in a certain shift interfering in his development and professional
performance, generating certain discomfort in health affecting their quality of life causing
stress which is one of the most acute manifestations and generators of physical and emotional
exhaustion; this is consistent and coherent with what is mentioned by the International Labor
Organization (ILO, 2014); said Overwork influences the quality of life, or what is called
Living Conditions
Furthermore, according to Pires (2016), the Work overload is a major problem in the health
sector, especially among nursing staff. This overload is caused by a combination of of factors,
as the lack of resources humans, the conditions labor adverse conditions and work demands,
conducted a study which found that work overload is a major problem in the health sector,
especially among nursing staff.
Lack of human resources refers to the shortage of health workers, which can lead to increased
workload for existing workers. Working conditions adverse they can include factors as the
long hours of job, he job night shifts and rotating shifts. Job demands may include factors such
as the complexity of the the tasks, the pressure for achieve with the deadlines and the need of
work low pressure. To address he problem of the over-demanding labor, is necessary take
measures that reduce the factors that cause it. This includes increasing the number of health
workers, improving working conditions and providing training and support to staff.
Polo (2018) the Work overload is a public health problem that affects health workers and
patients. This overload is caused by a combination of factors, such as the multiple functions
that health workers perform, adverse working conditions and the lack of human resources.
Polo (2018) conducted a study in he that HE found that the overload labor is a problem of
health public that affects to health workers and patients. This overload is caused by a
combination of factors, such as the multiple functions that health workers perform, adverse
working conditions and lack of human resources.
The multiple functions that perform the workers of the health they can include care,
administrative and educational activities. Adverse working conditions may include factors as
the long hours of work, the job nocturnal and the shifts rotary. The lack of human resources is
refers to the shortage of workers of health, what can lead to an increased workload for existing
workers.
Patlán (2013) stated that the physical workload refers to the increase that exceeds physical
performance. (p. 447). The National Institute of Occupational Hygiene (1999) cited by Gil
(2012) established: Working time is one of the conditioning aspects that will have a result in
the quality of life that the worker will have, the number of hours worked and the functions
that he performs will determine his physical and mental state, responding positively or
negatively to his health and the care that he provides, to the extent that the distribution of
work is guaranteed in a fair and timely will determine the well-being of the workers. (p. 1).
Reyes (2004) mentions with respect to the relevant actions of the staff, who should be
considered as part of an organization or entity to which the worker belongs, a recognition

quantification of work that has he professional and has to achieve in a time certain, Increasing
the workload and being subjected to multiple functions and demands of the workplace causes
a risk factor in our functions, increasing exhaustion. physical and emotional decreasing the
quality of life of the worker, the nurse it's a resource human valuable in charge of the careful of
the patient where value, plan and provides patient care in a comprehensive manner.
Likewise (Moncada, Llorens, Navarro and Kristensen, 2005) conceptualizes that the increase
in workload causes pressure at work, constituting the physical and psychological demand
specifically related to the intensity of work, which is related to the quantity and time to carry
it out.
Robbins, (2004) mentions that the efficiency indicator is what leads the professional to the
obtaining of results positives achieving achieve with the goals in his job; (Ugarriza, 2001)
defines coping as the ability that a person has to overcome any event in his or her personal
and work life, responding positively to stress.
The general problem was formulated as follows: What is the relationship between work
overload and the Living Conditions of Health Personnel in a Lima hospital during the period
2022-1?
As a general objective: Determine the influence of the Workplace over-demand and Living
Conditions of Health Personnel at a Lima Hospital during the period 2022-1, all of which is
proposed us carry to the hypothesis general. There is relationship direct between the over-
demanding Labor and Living Conditions of Health Personnel at a Lima hospital during the
period 2022-1 .
II. Methodology

It is observed that, in all the outputs, the value of the significance obtained was lower than the
proposed one (p<0.05), having sufficient evidence to reject all the null hypotheses having to
note the following:
General hypothesis: There is a relationship between the work overload and the quality of life
of nursing staff in the hospitalization service of a Public Hospital, Lima 2022-1, observing
that the relationship was inverse or negative and of moderate level (r = - 0.615;
p=0.000<0.05), indicating that, to elderly over-demanding labor, the conditions of adequate
life outcomes are lower for these professionals.
Besides:
There is relationship between the over-demanding labor and he support executive of the staff
of a Public Hospital, Lima 2022-1, observing that the relationship was negative and at a low
level (r = -0.449, p = 0.000 < 0.05), indicating that, with greater work overload, managerial
support decreases according to the perception of these professionals.
There is a relationship between the Work overload and workloads of staff at a public hospital
in Lima 2022-1, seeing that the relationship was reverse, and of low level (r = -0.378,
p=0.001<0.05), indicating that to elderly overload labor then minor diversity of workload of
these graduates.
There is a relationship between the work overload and intrinsic motivation of the staff of a
Public Hospital, Lima 2022-1, seeing that the relationship was negative or inverse, and of low
level (r = -0.367, p = 0.001 < 0.05), indicating that the greater the work overload, the lower
the intrinsic motivation in these people.
IV. Discussion
On the other hand, regarding the demonstration of the general hypothesis, it was determined
that there was a relationship between the work overload and the living conditions of the
healthcare staff of a Public Hospital in Lima, observing how it affects the Negative workload
in the conditions of life of the worker causing a of the causes further Stress and physical and
mental exhaustion are frequent, increasing the vulnerability to contracting diseases. This
result is consistent with the reality observed within this entity, being also consistent with the
theories referred to in this research (Patlán, 2013; Chiavenato, 2004; Heads, 2000), by it so
much, is current he result and the relationship fulfills with the explanation of this reality. No
However, is accurate to point out that, to weigh of the coherence From the results obtained, the
topic is not yet exhausted and research with a qualitative or mixed approach can be developed
for both variables in similar or analogous contexts.
For an extension of this hypothesis, it was also demonstrated that there was a relationship
between job over-demand and the managerial support of the nursing care staff, seeing that the
relationship was negative and of a low level, which indicates that the worker perceives that
there is no support in this dimension, where their needs are not heard, working in an
environment of pressure due to the overload of functions and patient demand not being
recognized. their efforts by toast a attention comprehensive and keep a quality of life. This is
indeed disturbing, since, in contrast to the observed reality, if the manifesto is true, this
perception, position that he support executive is of addition importance in a institution since it
provides support at all levels to workers within an organization. Thus, Victoria (2003) pointed
out that “Well-being psychological arises from the balance between the expectations and
achievements that the individual acquire in his “work area” for that so much, this aspect No
only is

relevant to the worker, but it is also extremely healthy for the proper functioning of the entity,
since the manager-worker binomial is the key to good management (Chiavenato, 2004). By
other part, going further to the result in Yeah same, this is consistent with it Found by Mejia
and Street band (2019) and with what was indicated by Of the Pink et al (2018), when he
indicated that the support executive No only HE translate in regulations but in a commitment
warned as genuine on the part of the workers.
