Abstract

This study aimed to identify the effects of workloads on the health status of nursing workers. The search was conducted in November 2016, at four databases, and inclusion and exclusion criteria were established. At the end, 50 studies were selected. The results highlight work concepts, types and conditions, demonstrating their effects on the health status of the nursing team, which is manifested through illnesses that result in temporary absence from work (sick leaves) and absenteeism, stress, physical and emotional fatigue, risks of occupational accidents, among others. It is concluded that the identification of these effects allows the implementation of organizational actions targeted to the prevention of occupational accidents and diseases.
