Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze nurses'perception regarding their work in a burn unit of a public hospital in the state of Rio Grande do Sul Brazil. This is a study with a qualitative approach, developed from semi-structured interviews with 20 professionals of the hospital's nursing staff. From the data analysis three categories emerged. The meaning of work in a burn unit, Difficulties encountered in daily work; Strategies used by nurses in their work performance. We conclude that it is the duty of the institutions where Burn Units are located to provide spaces for psychological support in attending the demands of professionals who assist victims of thermal trauma. We emphasize the need for educational institutions to place a greater emphasis in this area during the training of future professionals.
