The perception that we have about death and dying in our society and the way it is experienced by health professionals can bring important psychic repercussions, especially for those who are closest to patients: the nursing team. Literature often suggests the creation of spaces for speech and/or discussion groups, as a care strategy for these professionals. The present study refers to a qualitative, exploratory and empirical research, whose proposal was to verify, through semi-structured interview, if nursing professionals in a Semi-Intensive Care Center have demands to work on themes related to care of end-of-life patients through an operative group and, according to the results, propose its realization. 21 professionals participated. The interviews were analyzed using the Content Analysis technique, which allowed to list five categories: Frequency; Difficulties; Coping strategies; Established links; Demands for updates and speech spaces. The results showed that the participants considered it necessary a space to talk about their experiences in the context of care for patients at the end of life, however, when it was proposed, it did not have adherence. A number of reasons can be considered about the impediments and difficulties in the implementation of a group with nursing professionals working in intensive care, as the main contingents are issues related to the profession itself, resistance, work overload, the context itself institutional and pandemic, making clear the need for further studies.

OBJECTIVE: to assess the effects of a workplace physical activity (WPA) program on levels of anxiety, depression, burnout, occupational stress and self-perception of health and work-related quality of life of a nursing team in a palliative care unit.METHODS: the WPA was conducted five days per week, lasting ten minutes, during three consecutive months. Twenty-one nursing professionals were evaluated before and after the intervention, with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, the Maslch Burnout Inventory, and the Job Stress Scale. The changes in self-perceived health and work-related quality of life were measured using a semi-structured questionnaire.RESULTS: the WPA did not yield significant results on the levels of anxiety, depression, burnout or occupational stress. However, after the intervention, participants reported improved perceptions of bodily pain and feeling of fatigue at work.CONCLUSION: the WPA did not lead to beneficial effects on occupational stress and psychological variables, but it was well accepted by the nursing professionals, who reported improvement in perceptions of health and work-related quality of life.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to identify the occurrence of Burnout Syndrome (BS) and assess its relationship with different labour-related aspects, among nursing professionals at two medium-sizes hospitals in the city of Cáceres. METHOD: This is a transversal and descriptive study, with a sample totalling 141 subjects. As an instrument of research, we used a questionnaire for the limitation of labour-related aspects, with the addition of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). RESULTS: Out of the 141 professional people considered, 13 had BS, according to the MBI. In relation to the different labour aspects, the professional people most affected were those with: work regime based on pay by the day, a working week of 30 hours, regularly hired, with double employment, lower graduation period, less time spent at the unit, and active in the administrative segment. CONCLUSIONS: Hence, there was the demonstration of the presence of BS within the sample, showing the need for the proposal of organisational changes within the working environment so as to reduce these factors and their interference on the health of the worker.
