This is qualitative research using ConvergentAssistential Research as the design, aiming to investigate
the strain of nursing staff in the care for onco-hematological
patients receiving inpatient treatment. Data collection was
undertaken with 29 participants, through interviews and
focus groups, in 2012. The analysis was thematic, supported
by the state of the art and conceptual framework. The
results show the striking presence of the strain, resulting
from the daily and continuous exposure of the worker to
the workloads, both of external materiality and internal
materiality, with emphasis on the psychological burdens.
It is concluded that the strain is inherent to the work, but
that it is not isolated, it being the case that the personal
characteristics and the choices which the worker makes
for her life can influence it. Strain produces effects on the
worker’s health, on the work team, on the institution and
on the patient herself; thus, it is necessary to use strategies
in order to minimize it.
