Abstract

The following research has investigated the possible aspects that cause psychic suffering related to nurse workers in a hospital environment, with the intent to get to know the profile of these workers, and also signals and symptoms they may be showing. It is about a study with a quantitative and qualitative approach, interviewing 20 nurses from different sectors inside a hospital, and to be collecting data it was utilized a quiz with 11 open-ended questions that were recorded and transcribed for analysis. Five tables were created to trace the profile of the interviewees, the occupational history of the nurses, to ascertain psychic aspects related to the previous and current work of these professionals as well as to reflect on activities to promote mental health and work, where the suggestions came from the needs that The professional nurse observes in their daily work and that can reduce the illness or suffering in their psychic work environment. In the analysis it is evident that work is often a generator of psychic suffering and is often not associated with pleasure but with a need. We also note that mental health and work are very little seen in institutions and we can observe that many of the professionals have no real knowledge of what this subject is about, where many can not identify signs or symptoms that can lead to illness and psychic suffering as well Activities that the institution brings or could bring as a form of prevention to the psychic illness of its workers. Thus, much is seen about mental health and work, but knowledge about the subject is limited and actions to prevent and promote mental health are scarce and many professionals do not seek information on the subject or how to promote their mental health at work.
