“…Wilkin and Slevin () agreed and warned that the proliferation of technology may potentially threaten the caring component of critical care nursing. More recently, Kongsuwan and Locsin () revealed that nurse participants, in their phenomenological study, described how using technology diminished their ability to connect with or relate to their patients. McGrath () suggested that nurses favour managing technology and physical aspects of care rather than getting involved with the more personal and psychological care.…”

“…() also highlighted that mastery of technology is essential to the practice of critical care nursing. In addition, Kongsuwan and Locsin () suggested that technological mastery incorporates compassionate caring.

ABSTRACT:The aim of this study was to understand the nursing work organization in long-stay institutions for the elderly and its relationship to pleasure and suffering at work. Data were collected through observation and interviews between April and September 2013 and submitted to content analysis, in light of Dejours' psychodynamics of work theory. Professionals experience suffering as they face physical exertion, a fast-paced work environment and repetitive routines, limited human resources, accumulation of responsibilities and lack of medical service in the institution. Pleasure is experienced through the division of labor among workers, staff's good working relationships, freedom to change the work organization and the possibility of creating a bond with the elderly. The study provides subsidies for planning adequacies in the nursing work organization at these institutions, which will improve the workers' relationship to their work activities. DESCRIPTORS:Nursing. Homes for the aged. Occupational health. Job satisfaction. Stress, psychological. ORGANIZAÇÃO DO TRABALHO DE ENFERMAGEM NAS INSTITUIÇÕES TRABAJO DE ENFERMERIA EM INSTITUCIONES PARA PERSONAS DE EDAD Y EL RELACIÓN SUFRIMIENTO-PLACER DEL TRABAJORESUMEN: Objetivo conocer la organización del trabajo de enfermería en Instituciones para personas de edad y su relación con el placer y el trabajo del dolor. Los datos fueron recolectados por medio de observación y entrevistas, entre abril y septiembre de 2013, y sometidos a análisis de contenido a la luz de la teoría de la Psicodinámica Del Trabajo de Dejours. Los profissionales experiencia el sufrimiento antes de un esfuerzo físico, rutina rápida y repetitiva, escasos recursos humanos, acumulación de responsabilidades y falta de asistencia médica en la institución. El placer se experimenta a través de la división del trabajo entre los trabajadores, las buenas relaciones entre el personal, la libertad de modificar la organización del trabajo y la capacidad para formar enlaces con los ancianos. El estudio apoya la planificación de los ajustes en la organización del trabajo de enfermería en instituciones para personas de edad, la promoción de la mejora de las relaciones entre los trabajadores y sus actividades de trabajo. DESCRIPTORES:Enferméria. Hogares para ancianos. Salud laboral. Satisfacción en el trabajo. Estrés psicológico.
