Description
Summary:This integrative review aims to identify the theoretical approaches mentioned by authors in studies about the health of nursing workers. The search for publications between 2008 and 2012 occurred in three databases, using the descriptors of ‘occupational health’ and ‘nursing’. The sample was made up of 18 articles which dealt specifically with the occupational health of nursing workers. Of the studies selected, the vast majority did not make clear the theoretical framework adopted, and among those which did, two approaches predominated: work and subjectivity, and health policies. The different theoretical approaches enriched the discussion showing the strong relation between organization, work conditions, and subjectivity and situations of pleasure and suffering in the nursing work.
