Análise dos níveis de estresse no ambiente de trabalho: um estudo com profissionais da área de enfermagem

Abstract

This research focuses on the work environment of a public hospital which, as a health-oriented organization, is supposed to promote the care and health prevention of its own professionals. In this context, it is recognized that nurses and other members of the nursing team often face, in their daily lives, situations that generate stress, due to the urgency of care, or the scarcity of resources in the provision of care. Thus, this study aims to identify, based on the Lipp Stress Symptom Inventory (LSSI), the level of stress of nursing professionals in a public hospital. In this sense, a quantitative approach was carried out using a questionnaire that was applied to a sample of professionals filled in the hospital under study, in this case, Walter Cantídio University Hospital, selected for study because it is considered one of the most used nosocomials in the City of Fortaleza. In summary, the practical applicability of ISSL in a sample of 100 nursing technicians, composed mostly by experienced professionals, but mostly does not exceed the 30 hours worked weekly (6 hours per day), is practicable.
