- Abstract
Objective: to describe the levels of stress among nursing professionals in the adult intensive care units of some private hospital services. Method: this is a quantitative, analytical and cross-sectional study in three private hospital services. Two questionnaires were applied, analyzing them by means of analytical statistics. The results are presented in the form of tables. Results: it was found that of the 72 participants, the majority (95%) were Nursing technicians, female (52.8%), young adults (27.8%) and married women (54.2%). In addition to the moderate stress score (70.8%), it is more likely that a professional presenting this symptomatology could trigger a high level of work stress. Conclusion: a significant rate of stress and absenteeism was verified, that the working environment exerts frequent tensiogenic situations and that, due to the poor salary, these professionals take on multiple workdays that do not cease at home.
