El uso generalizado del computador en todos los campos de actividad social impone la identificación de aquellos aspectos críticos de su implementación. En este trabajo se elabora una detallada revisión de los factores psicosociales inherentes a la relación entre la salud y el trabajo con computador en las oficinas. Se documentan los factores organizacionales, los ergonómicos, los de las exigencias del trabajo y los de las características personales de los usuarios de computadores.

The generalized use of the computer in all the social activity fields imposes the identification of those critical aspects of their implementation. This paper it's a detailed review of the psychosocial factors inherent to the relationship between the health and the computer work at the office. The factors documented are: organizational, ergonomics, those of the requirements of the work and those of the personal characteristics of the computer users.
