Saúde mental dos profissionais de enfermagem dos serviços hospitalares

Abstract

This study aims to identify the mental health conditions of the nursing team in hospital services, as well as the promotion strategies applied to mental health care for professionals. This is an integrative review of studies published in the last 10 years, available in full, in Portuguese, English and Spanish. The literature search took place in November 2023 in the MEDLINE, BDENF and LILACS databases, through the Virtual Health Library (BVS) and Scielo (Scientific Electronic Library Online). The results were presented descriptively and distributed in tables and figures. Of the 1,901 studies retrieved, eight were included in this review, which revealed that the mental health condition of nursing professionals was positive symptoms for burnout, stress, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, common mental disorder and well-being. Most studies applied a health promotion and/or disease prevention strategy to nursing professionals, obtaining positive results. Given the mental illness of nursing professionals and the effectiveness of applying care strategies, we emphasize the importance of promoting mental health among nursing workers in the workplace.
