Resumen

ANTECEDENTES: Las condiciones precarias de empleo pueden influir en la salud mental del trabajador; sin embargo, no hay consenso en cuanto a la definición de empleo precario ni a la forma de medirlo. OBJETIVO: El objetivo es identificar las investigaciones existentes sobre el marco conceptual, las formas de medir el empleo precario y su impacto en la salud mental de los trabajadores. MÉTODOS: Revisión sistemática con búsqueda estratégica de estudios observacionales-empíricos y cualitativos publicados entre 2007 y 2020 en Embase, Scopus y PubMed, a texto completo, en inglés y español. Se seleccionaron y excluyeron los estudios, según criterios de elegibilidad. Dos revisores independientes y un árbitro evaluaron la calidad de los trabajos seleccionados con las guías STROBE para los estudios observacionales y SRQR para los cualitativos. RESULTADOS: Se obtuvieron 408 estudios, 21 cumplían los criterios de inclusión, en 14 estudios el empleo precario se midió unidimensionalmente. De ellos, 11 con la dimensión de temporalidad y tres con la de inseguridad. En cuatro estudios se midió de forma multidimensional, con la Escala de Precariedad Laboral (EPRES) y en tres diseños cualitativos, con diferentes categorías de análisis. La salud mental se midió con SF-36 (n = 4), GHQ-12 (n = 3) y CES-D (n = 3). CONCLUSIONES: El concepto de empleo precario requiere un constructo multidimensional, aunque la tendencia a medir el empleo precario es unidimensional. Independientemente de cómo se mida, tiene un impacto negativo en la salud mental de los trabajadores. Los resultados relacionados con este determinante social incluyen depresión, síntomas depresivos, angustia psicológica, estrés y pensamientos suicidas. Los jóvenes, las mujeres, las personas con bajo nivel educativo y los inmigrantes son los grupos que presentan mayor precariedad.
