“…ICU work is complex and intense, and nurses should be prepared to deliver care to patients with important hemodynamic alterations at any time, which demand specific knowledge and great skill to make decisions and put them in practice in due time (13)(14) .

This is a descriptive cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 235 nurses from two intensive care units in Porto (Portugal). The purpose of this study was to identify stressors for nurses working in intensive care units. The data was collected using the following: i) a questionnaire (for socio-demographic variables, physical aspects of work and variables related to the work context; ii) Interpersonal Work Relations Scale; iii) Nurse Stress Index.Nurses in the early phase of their career have higher stress levels ( X = 81). An inadequate physical work structure leads to higher stress levels (X = 83). The worse the interpersonal relations are, the higher stress levels nurses feel (Spearman correlation coefficient =-0.331).Nurses who have a bad relationship with their work superiors view the dimension "Support Portugal, e teve como objetivo conhecer alguns fatores geradores de estresse em enfermeiros que trabalham em unidades de terapia intensiva. Na recolha de dados, utilizou-se: i) questionário de autopreenchimento (para as variáveis sociodemográficas, para os aspectos físicos do serviço e para as variáveis relacionadas ao contexto de trabalho); ii) a escala das relações interpessoais no trabalho e iii) a nurse stress index.Pelos resultados, observa-se que enfermeiros, em início de carreira, têm níveis de estresse mais elevados ( X =81); estrutura física não adequada conduz a níveis de estresse mais elevados (X=83); quanto pior é a relação interpessoal maiores são os níveis de estresse (coeficiente de correlação de Spearman=-0,331). Os enfermeiros que estabelecem má relação com as chefias percepcionam a dimensão apoio e envolvimento organizacional como fonte geradora de estresse (teste t de Student, p<0,001).Descritores: Estresse; Enfermagem; Unidades de Terapia Intensiva.

“…Although there is concern about the participation of family members and companions in the transmission of microorganisms, it is the PAS that circulate among patients and, therefore, the main carriers of microorganisms. Nonetheless, health institutions do not always adopt the recommended precautionary measures (13,23) . It is worth mentioning the fact that, although not questioned, 63.15% of respondents said that the reason for hospitalization under TBP is related to multi-resistant microorganisms acquired in the institution and possibly due to non-compliance with the HAI prevention measures.…”
