The object of this study was to gather a group of trainees in occupational health, and promote in them the use of bioethics as a tool for their empowerment in the basic principles needed to solve various problems as members of a community.
Methods
Active research, with qualitative and quantitative actions to define values; with deconstruction, analysis and reflections on the various policy instruments available. The piece of art, “an allegory of culture” was used as a symbolic frame of reference.
Results
1- The importance of the application of the strategy of empowerment in improving health in the population at large and especially in the work areas has been shown. 2- A fragmented and biologicist paradigm in the approach to health care still persists. 3- There are ethical problems that have to be dealt with by the area professionals in managing their work. 4- Current legislation, especially ethical codes, are mostly unknown and insufficient, for the practice of occupational health. 5- The methods used allowed for the analysis of the personal situation of the participants, their work environment, and compare results with the existing norms and regulations. 6- The use of bioethics has been accepted as a good addition to improving the mere scientific approach and adding a humanistic touch to medical practice. 7- Motivation and expectations were strengthened when empowerment was seen as a way to promote positive changes in all areas of the professional practice. 8- The acquisition of knowledge (empowerment) is attained through the application of bioethics, with its inherent critical analysis, reflective, and pluralistic thinking.
Discussion
Promote a permanent review of the problems, by means of the bioethical deliberation method; the convergence of their sources and origins, whether they originate in management, safety services or in occupational health professionals
