Although the work is essential to human life, the context in which it is done can induct tension, imbalance and consequent illness. Studies indicate nursing as an occupation with high risk for disease, particularly in the hospital environment. The aim of this study was to estimate the occurrence of health problems reported by nursing staff in a hospital in Bahia, Brazil. This is a cross-sectional study, involving 309 nursing professionals. The most frequent health complaints were related to musculoskeletal symptoms such as leg pain 66.4% (192) and back pain 61.8% (178); and to mental health with a predominance of mental fatigue 47% (131) 33 and nervousness 7% (93). The results show that nurses had a higher frequency of postural problems and mental health complaints while respiratory diseases complaints were more prevalent among technicians and assistants. These results highlight the need for greater awareness of the work process and implementation of preventive activities.
尽管工作对人类生活至关重要，但工作的环境可能会引发紧张、失衡并导致疾病。研究表明，护理工作是一项患病风险很高的职业，尤其是在医院环境中。本研究的目的是估计巴西巴伊亚州一家医院护理人员报告的健康问题发生率。这是一项横断面研究，涉及309名护理专业人员。最常见的健康投诉与肌肉骨骼症状有关，如腿痛66.4%（192例）和背痛61.8%（178例）；以及心理健康问题，主要是精神疲劳47%（131例）和紧张7%（93例）。结果表明，护士出现姿势问题和心理健康投诉的频率较高，而呼吸道疾病投诉在技术人员和助理中更为普遍。这些结果凸显了提高对工作过程的认识和开展预防活动的必要性。
