Abstract

Descriptive, quantitative-qualitative study, which aimed to measure the stress of nurses in public health and
investigate the influence of some individual and situational variables on working conditions. Data were collected through
the application of a job stress range and a questionnaire with five non-structured questions to 11 nurses who work as
coordinators of Family Health Strategy Unit teams or other programs, in Basic Health Units in a city within the state of Rio
Grande do Sul, Brazil. From the analysis of data, subjects perceive adequately the demands of work, not showing significant
levels of work stress. It can be inferred that in the context studied, there are good general working conditions, which has
a positive influence on factors that generate stress.
