“…The cooperation between the workers becomes motivated by the pursuit of quality, an essential condition for obtaining pleasure in the work. To this end, a flexible management model is necessary to allow the experience of the feeling of recognition from the hierarchy and the peers, which occurs when the organization emphasizes the independence of the employees in an internal structure that allows negotiation in the definition of hierarchical roles, in the standards and the rules (12)(13)15) .…”

“…Despite the possible health injuries arising from the organizational context, the positive significance of the work is being rediscovered as a means of preventing and overcoming these negative effects, through a position that emphasizes the positive subjective experiences in improving the quality of life of the workers and preventing pathologies (9)(10)(11)(12)(13) . These work experiences, when positive, help to enrich the identity of the individual, leading to the maximum development of their potential.…”

The aim of this study was to analyze the causal factors of pleasure and suffering in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) nursing staff and to compare the occurrence of these factors at the beginning and end of the career. This was a cross-sectional descriptive study conducted with 26 nurses and 96 nursing technicians. The previously validated Pleasure and Suffering Scale was used. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics with the SPSS 12.0 software and the Kruskal Wallis test was used to assess the presence of these factors at the beginning and end of the career. The results indicated that, for both the nurses and the nursing technicians, the factors that contribute to feelings of pleasure, professional achievement and freedom of expression, and the factors that cause suffering, professional exhaustion and lack of recognition, were encountered at critical levels.

IntroductionThe recognition is growing that health care workers, especially those of the nursing team, experience stressful situations in the work that lead to suffering.Several studies have indicated the need to identify, in critical areas such as the ICU, the causative factors of the suffering, as well as the defensive strategies to avoid this, in order to maintain the psycho-emotional balance of the worker (1)(2)(3)(4)(5) . Care for critically ill patients requires from the nurses and nursing technicians, hereafter referred to as the nursing team, speed in decision making, a heightened sense of responsibility in the prioritization of actions, the resolution of complex problems, the continuous reorganization of the activities due to frequent interruptions, and the management of a large and variable amount of information due to the diverse interventions required (1)(2)(3)(4)(5) . Furthermore, the nursing team are almost constantly confronted with suffering and death of their fellows, and are exposed to the ambiguous feelings that are transferred to them by both the p...

“…A organização do trabalho geralmente diz respeito a um modo de operar ou a procedimentos a serem executados pelo trabalhador, determinados e decididos em um âmbito hierarquicamente superior e em circunstâncias das quais o trabalhador/ executor não participa (Abrahão & Torres, 2004). Esse modo operatório foi denominado trabalho prescrito por Dejours (1997).…”

O trabalho relata uma experiência de Estágio Supervisionado em Psicodinâmica do Trabalho, realizada com cinco integrantes de uma unidade do Conselho Tutelar de uma cidade do sul de Minas Gerais, em 2007. A intervenção objetivou propiciar melhores condições de trabalho às conselheiras e capacitar profissionalmente estudantes do quinto ano de um curso de Psicologia da região. Utilizou-se o método clínico para a compreensão dos eventos em campo: o triângulo da clínica do trabalho orientou o diagnóstico e a condução do processo terapêutico. Realizaram-se 17 encontros semanais, nos quais as conselheiras apresentaram, discutiram e tentaram encontrar soluções para as principais dificuldades individuais e coletivas do trabalho cotidiano. Os principais fatores indicados como fonte de sofrimento foram: as condições da estrutura física do ambiente de trabalho e as interações sociais entre as componentes da própria equipe e com outros agentes sociais. O sofrimento foi relativamente superado por meio de negociações internas e de um pacto coletivo de enfrentamento dos problemas inerentes à condução de casos atendidos e à interação com outros atores sociais. A intervenção contribuiu, sobretudo, com um espaço de relativa confiança, onde as conselheiras puderam se expressar, refletir e buscar soluções individuais e conjuntas para encarar e superar os elementos relacionados à realidade do trabalho.
