The purposes of this study were: to identify situations that are considered sources of anxiety in nurse's daily activities and to identify the conscious strategies these nurses use in order to lower the level of anxiety. The sample was composed of 54 nurses from a larger general teaching hospital that answered a questionnaire with open and closed questions. The answers pointed situations, both quotidian and unsuspected, that generate anxiety in the following areas: direct care, management and teaching. Nurses also pointed the activities they usually do in order to cope with stress, during the crisis or in their quotidian life. Findings demonstrate that even though the nurses are exposed to stressing situations that generate anxiety, they also use adequate coping strategies. We observe that more studies are needed, in order to propose new alternatives to improve nurses' quality of life.
确定在护士日常活动中被视为焦虑源的情况，并确定这些护士为降低焦虑水平而采用的有意识策略。样本由一家大型综合教学医院的54名护士组成，她们回答了一份包含开放式和封闭式问题的问卷。答案指出了在以下领域引发焦虑的日常和意想不到的情况：直接护理、管理和教学。护士们还指出了她们在危机期间或日常生活中通常用来应对压力的活动。研究结果表明，尽管护士面临会引发焦虑的压力情况，但她们也会采用适当的应对策略。我们观察到，为了提出改善护士生活质量的新方法，还需要进行更多研究。
