摘要:This is a transversal, descriptive and correlation study done to 120 male miners who work in high altitude geographical conditions. We studied whether there was an association between Acute Mountain Disorder, physical and cognitive fatigue and psychosocial and work related factors. Predictors of cognitive and physical fatigue were measured independently. It was found that the prevalence of cognitive and physical fatigue was 41.7%. Significant associations between Acute Mountain Disorder, physical fatigue, cognitive fatigue and psychosocial factors at work were found at a two-variable level. Acute Mountain Disorder and the number of year at work were found to be a positive predictor for physical fatigue while healthy emotional balance was found to be a negative predictor. Acute Mountain Disorder was found to be a positive predictor for the cognitive fatigue while healthy emotional balance had an inverse impact. Findings allow us to conclude that the Acute Mountain Disorder is the most relevant predictor, compared with the rest of the psychosocial and work related variables studied.
