The resistencia eticaordica of the human factor to a mental health programme

Abstract

Mental health organizations are undergoing changes that demand a transformation of services for the population. Resistencia Eticaórdica is a theoretical concept formed by the union of the words ethics, chaos, and order to identify the activity or behavior of the human factor in resisting an order stipulated in a work programme or policy that represents organizational change. Therefore, this research aims to determine the statistical association between Resistencia Eticaórdica in the human factor and the lack of implementation of a mental health work programme. The methodology consists of a quantitative, observational, and descriptive approach, through the statistical analysis of measures of central tendency and cross-tabulations of the data obtained from the questionnaire on attitudes toward a mental health work programme. This questionnaire was used to identify associations with the variables of basic functioning factors, chaotic organization, and organizational ethics, as well as with the human factor's attitude variables of profession, sex, and age group. Results were obtained with high level of association between the presence of resistance to change in healthcare professionals and problems related to functioning, status, and ethics. It is concluded that the human factor presents Resistencia Eticaórdica to the implementation of the mental health work programme, associated with problematic individual factors, problematic activity planning, flawed strategy, inadequate organizational structure, and internal processes disconnected from organizational objectives, explaining a lack of implementation of the mental health work programme.
