Abstract

Objective: to identify the workloads to which these professionals are exposed to manage the health problems and illnesses caused by exposure. Method: descriptive study with a quantitative cross-sectional design, demonstrating the degree of agreement of 90 nurses related to the workloads: psychological, biological, physiological, chemical and physical, in addition to the institutional conducts of the cities of Curitiba and Almirante Tamandaré, between April and August 2024. Results: psychological workloads showed a high level of agreement, followed by biological and physiological workloads; the use and provision of Personal Protective Equipment also showed a high level of agreement among participants; on the other hand, psychological and emotional support programs proved to be unsatisfactory on the part of public entities. Conclusions: identifying the degree of agreement on workloads becomes necessary for the implementation of improvements related to the promotion and prevention of health problems for workers, increasing quality and professional satisfaction.
