The specialist literature highlights that the clinical management of pain involves psychological difficulties associated with the pursuit of the alleviation of the suffering of patients. Therefore, an investigation was conducted into the perception of stress and coping strategies of 31 professionals of different categories from a severe burns care center (acute pain) and a pain control and palliative care unit (chronic pain). For this, a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Job Stress Scale (short version) and the Coping Strategies Inventory were applied.Compared to other categories, the nursing technicians indicated more stress factors.In compensation, they reported a greater diversity of coping strategies with significant differences between the services. These results corroborate previous studies, which warn of the adverse conditions that interfere in nursing practice. However, they also reveal the availability of protective factors, indicating perspectives of preventive intervention for the nursing team.Descriptors: Pain; Bernout, Professional; Health Personnel. Impacto del manejo clínico del dolor en los profesionales de la salud: evaluación de estrés y enfrentamientoLa literatura especializada destaca que el manejo clínico del dolor produce dificultades psicológicas asociadas a las actividades realizadas para aliviar el sufrimiento de los pacientes. Siendo así, se investigaron la percepción del estrés y las estrategias para enfrentarlo en 31 profesionales de diferentes categorías en un centro de atención a quemaduras de gran tamaño (dolor agudo) y una unidad de control del dolor y cuidados paliativos (dolor crónico). Para esto, se aplicó un cuestionario sociodemográfico, la Job Stress Scale (versión resumida) y el Inventario de Estrategias de Coping. Comparado con las demás categorías, los técnicos de enfermería indicaron más factores de estrés.En compensación, informaron mayor diversidad de estrategias de enfrentamiento con diferencias significativas entre los servicios. Estos resultados corroboran estudios anteriores, los cuales alertan sobre las condiciones adversas que interfieren en la actuación en enfermería. Sin embargo, también revelan la disponibilidad de factores de protección, apuntando perspectivas de intervención preventiva destinadas al equipo de enfermería.Descriptores: Dolor; Agotamiento Profesional; Personal de Salud.
