“…The highly complex activities and demand of nursing professionals also produces high levels of stress and consequently www.ee.usp.br/reeusp Depression and suicide risk among Nursing professionals: an integrative review correlate with high levels of depression, for example nurses who work in psychiatric nursing, intensive care units and operating rooms (6,9,23) . Work conditions have transformed the stress into something familiar and often normal, with implications on the health of nursing professionals, highlighting the need for the use of internal and external strategies to minimize stress through coping strategies to control, tolerate and reduce the effects of adverse stimuli (20,29,31,(33)(34) .…”

Objective: Discussing the factors associated with major depression and suicide risk among nursing professionals. Method: An integrative review in PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, SciELO and BDENF databases, between 2003 and2015. Results: 20 published articles were selected, mostly from between 2012 and 2014, with significant production in Brazil. Nursing professionals are vulnerable to depression when young, married, performing night work and having several jobs, and when they have a high level of education, low family income, work overload, high stress, insufficient autonomy and a sense of professional insecurity and conflict in the family and work relationship. Suicide risk was correlated with the presence of symptoms of depression, high levels of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and low personal accomplishment; characteristics of Burnout Syndrome. Conclusion: Suicide risk among nursing professionals is associated with symptoms of depression and correlated with Burnout Syndrome, which can affect work performance.

“…The nursing sector has been extensively studied in relation to role overload, high pressure at work, relationships with supervisors and mental health conditions (Perry et al 2015;Schneider et al 2017;Skela-Savic et al 2017). Several studies have also demonstrated how productive decreases in nursing attendance while presenteeism occurs (Aysun & Bayram 2017;Noben et al 2015Noben et al , 2014Umann et al 2014). In Spain, there are studies that reveal the need to continue investigating presenteeism as a phenomenon that has negative repercussions for the company, the employee and the quality of patient care, as well as being considered a predictor of future diseases and absenteeism, and can therefore lead to the establishment of prevention and occupational health policies for professionals (S anchez-Zaballos et al 2018).…”

Aim To develop and psychometrically test the Stanford Presenteeism Scale‐6 to assess presenteeism in the Spanish healthcare population. Background Presenteeism, referring to going to work despite being ill, has been associated with job stress, productivity losses, reduced patient safety and increased health problems among the professionals who suffer from it. Introduction The highest prevalence of presenteeism in the healthcare sector is among nurses. Their decision to attend work while ill has been related to role overload, lack of supervisor support, mental health and physical conditions. Methods A cross‐sectional and validation study was conducted between September 2015 and June 2016 in a hospital in Asturias, Spain. Four hundred and ninety‐five healthcare professionals voluntarily agreed to participate (281 nurses, 122 physicians and 92 nursing assistants). Results Presenteeism prevalence was high; the majority of it being in the nursing category. Bartlett's test and the Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin test indicated that the data meet the conditions for factorial analysis, evidencing a small variability in the median of each sample item and a significant standard deviation. Adjustment rates obtained in the exploratory factor analysis showed adequacy, and reliability rates also showed adequacy for both factors. It was verified by a confirmatory analysis that the factors of presenteeism are positively associated with burnout. Conclusion The Stanford Presenteeism Scale‐6 showed good psychometric properties to study presenteeism in the Spanish healthcare sector. Implications for Nursing and Health Policy Nursing leaders must develop measurements to assess and control psychosocial risks in order to improve the physical and mental health of professionals and reduce patient safety risks.

The study's objective was to report the nurses' self-evaluation of health and quality of life, associated with the socioeconomic characterization. Transversal study, with a sample of 190 nurses, in a state's reference general hospital. For procedures of descriptive analysis and inferences, the Statistical Package for Social Sciences 13.0 used. The comparison of averages was made, using statistical tests: Mann-Whitney, Friedman, t of Student and ANOVA. For the accomplishment of correlation analysis, the Spearman's correlation coefficient was used. The study strictly followed the regulation of national and international research. One observes a population mainly composed of women, with average age of 36.04 years old, working in nursing for 9.05 years, with family income of R$ 8,410.11 and weekly workload of 47.16 hours. The satisfaction with health had a score of 57.50 and the quality of life's self-evaluation, 61.32. Through the findings, it was possible to demonstrate the existing correlation between the workload's increase and a worst self-evaluation regarding the quality of life.
