Objective:to analyze the factors associated with Burnout Syndrome among nursing workers according to work shift. Method:cross-sectional study addressing a representative sample of 502 nursing workers from a philanthropic hospital facility. Data were collected using a characterization instrument, the Maslach Burnout Inventory - Human Service Survey and the Demand-Control-Support Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple binary logistic regression. Results:levels of Burnout Syndrome were significantly higher among those working the day shift and associated factors included: high demand; low control; low social support; dissatisfaction with sleep and financial resources; being a nurse; and sedentariness. Professionals working the night shift, having low social support, being dissatisfied with sleep, having children, not having a religion, having worked for a short period in the institution, and being a nursing technician or aid were significantly more likely to experience high levels of the syndrome. Conclusion:psychosocial factors and factors from the work context, mainly low social support, were associated with the syndrome dimensions among nursing workers of both shifts.

Cultural consonance is the degree to which individuals, in their own beliefs and behaviors, approximate widely shared cultural models. In previous research in Brazil and the United States we found that higher cultural consonance in the cultural domains of lifestyle and social support was associated with lower psychological distress. The aim of this paper is to expand on these results in two ways. First, the measurement of cultural consonance has been improved through a closer link of cultural domain analyses and survey research. Second, the number of domains in which cultural consonance has been examined has been expanded to include-along with lifestyle and social support-family life, national identity, and food. We found that cultural consonance in these five domains can be conceptualized as two latent variables of generalized cultural consonance, and that this generalized cultural consonance is associated with lower psychological distress. These results continue to support the usefulness of cultural consonance as a theoretical construct in the explanation of human social suffering.

A busca incessante pela realização de diferentes atividades provoca no homem um aumento das cargas laborais, levando ao aparecimento de doenças físicas, psíquicas e emocionais. Resolveu-se buscar evidências científicas sobre as formas de adoecimento pelo trabalho da enfermagem, bem como as formas para o enfrentamento e prevenção ao adoecimento e acidentes de trabalho. Utilizou-se a revisão Integrativa e a pesquisa foi realizada em bases de dados eletrônicas na área da saúde. Os descritores utilizados foram: doença ocupacional, prevenção ocupacional, trabalhador da enfermagem. Encontrou-se 27 artigos. Percebeu-se que os trabalhadores da enfermagem apresentam dores lombares, injúrias músculo-esqueléticas, sofrem acidentes com material pérfuro-cortante, estresse e tensão no trabalho, sofrem com poluição ambiental e dermatites.
