Methods: Cross-sectional study, conducted with nurses of emergency hospital services. The research instrument was a semi-structured questionnaire with sociodemographic variables and psychometric scales for the assessment of depression. For statistics, the Fisher exact test was used. Results: A total of 23 nurses participated, of which 91.3% showed symptoms of depression.

All nurses were advised and sent to specialized care. Conclusion: The majority of nurses working in emergency services reported depression linked to working conditions.

Corroborating the present study's fi ndings, a study conducted by Oliveira, Mazzaia, and Marcolan (2015) of nurses that work in a hospital emergency department found that 90% of the ED professionals had fallen ill due to depression, an extremely signifi cant number. Such data warrant consideration and interventions aimed at improving the working conditions and mental health of such professionals.…”

Factors influencing nurses’ knowledge acquisition of diabetes care and its management: A qualitative study

“…Supportive nursing management was thought likely to result in better diabetes education and care among nurses, while lack of attention to nurses’ own problems (e.g., workload) might have the opposite effect (Farsi, Dehghan, Negarandeh, & Broomand, ).
