“…As in Brazil, low wages and the insecurity of nursing employment contracts also occur in European countries (20) and Asia (21) . International studies (20)(21) show that low pay and little job security may be associated with overload of nursing workers, job dissatisfaction and intention to leave the job.…”

“…On the other hand, for factors assessing suffering at work, such as Professional Exhaustion (items [18][19][20][21][22][23][24] and Lack of recognition (items 25-32), which are considered negative items, the analysis was performed at the following levels: above 4 = more negative and critical assessment; between 3.99 and 2.1 = moderate to critical evaluation; below 2.0 = less negative to satisfactory assessment.…”

Objective:To measure the pleasure and suffering indicators at work and relate them to the socio-demographic and employment characteristics of the nursing staff in a hemodialysis center in southern Brazil. Method: Quantitative research, with 46 workers. We used a self-completed form with demographic and labor data and the Pleasure and Suffering Indicators at Work Scale (PSIWS). We conducted a bivariate and correlation descriptive analysis with significance levels of 5% using the Epi-Info® and PredictiveAnalytics Software programs. Results: Freedom of Speech was considered critical; other factors were evaluated as satisfactory. The results revealed a possible association between sociodemographic characteristics and work, and pleasure and suffering indicators. There was a correlation between the factors evaluated. Conclusion: Despite the satisfactory evaluation, suffering is present in the studied context, expressed mainly by a lack of Freedom of Speech, with the need for interventions to prevent injury to the health of workers.

Pleasure-suffering indicators of nursing work in a hemodialysis nursing serviceIndicadores de prazer e sofrimento no trabalho da enfermagem em um serviço de hemodiálise Indicadores de placer y sufrimiento en el trabajo de la enfermería en un servicio de hemodiálisis INTRODUCTIONWork occupies a position of centrality in the lives of individuals, thus constituting a fundamental operator in the construction of the subject. Thus, work activity is a construction of meaning, the conquest of identity, continuity and historicizing of men (1) .In the same perspective, work activity can promote health with a pivotal role, or contribute to destabilization, leading the subject to imbalance, which reinforces the premise that work is never neutral with regards to workers' health (2) .This research is based on the theoretical framework of the psychodynamics of work, holding the dynamic relations between the labor organization and the employee's subjective processes as its object of study. In these relationships, suffering plays a key role that articulates health and pathology at the same time. Health implies dealing with impositions and pressures at work that cause psychological instability, while pathology is related to failures in the ways of coping with suffering (3) .Thus, on the one hand, suffering operates as a mobilizer of investments in the transformation of reality, and the possibility of transforming reality, and on the other it gives pleasure to the worker. Thus, experiences of pleasure and suffering are dialectical and inherent in all work settings (2) .In this perspective, work can be a health promoter when creativity is used to transform a situation of suffering, which positively affects the worker's identity since it increases their resistance to the risk of mental and somatic destabilization (3) .Nursing workers often forget to take care of themselves and the...

“…Agreeableness is a construct that can be examined through the interpersonal relations (Leary, 1957in McCrae & John, 1992 Regarding agreeableness, researchers found (Mollart, Skinner, Newing, & Foureur, 2013), that besides its benefits, nurses with high agreeableness tend to say yes to a task at work when they are already over worked. At the same time, Canadas-De la Fuente and colleagues found (Cañadas-De la Fuente et al, 2015), that when emotional exhaustion increases in burnout, agreeableness decreases. Conscientiousness means that the individuals respect norms and regulations, are disciplined, plan their actions and are trustworthy (Colomeischi, 2015).…”

In this review study personality characteristics and workplace environment variables (with special attention to classroom conditions) areinvestigated regarding the phenomenon of teacher burnout in order to discover the basis of an effective intervention program. Regardingthe studies, the Maslach Burnout Inventory Educational Survey for burnout measurement(Maslach, Schaufeli, & Leiter, 2001)was applied in all of the researches. Samples have been collected from the USA and several countries of Europe. According to the results, workload and social support turned out to be major influencing factors as much aswork characteristicsare concerned, and positive affectivity, emotional stability and self-efficacy were the major influencing variables as much as personality characteristicsare concerned. As a conclusion of the correlating tendencies, a hypothesized model has been created, in order to explain the process of how an individual responds to his or her environment in the process of burnout, where the steps are: (1) emotional traits (e.g.: emotional stability, positive affectivity, extraversion) -> (2) perceived work environment and work characteristics -> (3) consideration about one’s ability to cope (self-efficacy, self-confidence) -> (4) choice of a coping strategy -> (5) influence on the level of burnout (either increase or decrease).

“…Considerando a particularidade do trabalho da enfermagem, que abarca os processos administrar, assistir, ensinar, pesquisar e participar politicamente, pode-se presumir que será marcado por relevante complexidade e exigirá a mobilização de conhecimentos e habilidades que irão desde a realização de procedimentos até o encontro de subjetividades (14) . Nesse sentido, a prevalência da SB entre os trabalhadores de enfermagem é particularmente elevada, em virtude das consideráveis exigências físicas, emocionais e psicológicas impostas pela própria natureza da atividade profissional, configurando-se como uma preocupação significativa, uma vez que afeta profissionais, usuários e organizações (15) . Embora um número considerável de estudos esteja sendo realizado nesse campo do conhecimento, a necessidade de investigações a respeito alto (≥10 pontos), médio (6 a 9 pontos) e baixo (≤5 pontos).…”
