We aimed to assess the occupational stress and associated factors among nurses from public hospitals. Cross-sectional study with a sample of 185 nurses from three public hospitals in Paraná. The data were collected between November 2015 and April 2016, using a questionnaire to characterize the participants and the Job Stress Scale. Descriptive analyses and logistic regression were applied. Among the participants, passive and high-demand work was predominant. The negative perception of the care support services (p=0.003), continuing education programs (p=0.007), time and opportunities to solve the care problems (p<0.001) and participation in administrative (p=0.014) increased the chances that the nurses would perceive the work as stressful. On the opposite, longer experience at the institution (p<0.001) and social support (p<0.001) were associated with lesser perceptions of exhausting work. In conclusion, the nurse’s stress was associated with factors from the work environment, mainly factors that hamper high-quality care delivery.
