“…The staff increase is not considered as ideal solution to the problem, but probably the re-ordering of demand. The results of this study, quantitative (questionnaires) and qualitative (interviews and observation), lean towards the same direction, i.e., the dissatisfaction of nurses on the high patients demand, which also is confirmed by other studies (21)(22)(23) . Another problem that causes serious consequences at healthcare to the population, and also corroborates to nurses' high level of tension, is the lack of training on a regular basis for these professionals, affecting the efficiency and speed of nursing care to the victims of trauma and clinical emergencies that comes to the unit.…”

“…This is a paradoxical situation, since there is an expectation that health workers, at least in theory, should fully exercise the actions of self-care. Quotidian life, however, reveals that complex situations related to the world of work, represented, among others, by low remuneration which implies the need for multiple employment contracts, long hours often marked by stressful routines at an accelerated pace, along with many hours standing, etc., promote a slow and continuous attrition, which directly affects the quality of attention given to self-care (2)(3) . These factors contribute to chronic fatigue which favors, in the process of self-care, options that lead to a practicality that requires less effort, whether in diet, leisure, physical activity, or in various aspects of quotidian life (1) , often consisting of less healthy alternatives.…”
