Abstract

This is a literature review in order to identify publications that take stress as a research topic and conduct its relation to occupational health. It was performed in the catalogs of the Center for Teaching and Research in Nursing (Epen) in the period from 1979 to 2007, and included theses and dissertations and excluded the review work of literature or interactive or studies that had patients and their families as subjects. Thus, we selected 30 works. It was found that in the last ten years there have been many productions with this subject. It is concluded that the studies are recent, mostly descriptive, with the identification of stressors and withdrawal of the causal relationship. The need for further studies involving situations and feelings of health professionals and health-related work is stressed.
