Abstract

Seeking a better understanding of job stress, auxiliary nurses were evaluated in General Hospitals Belo Horizonte. The emotional stress which accompanies auxiliary nurses caring for the sick and easing physical and mental suffering affects their own mental state and physical health. Elements that cause suffering and diseases can be attenuated or intensified depending on labor relations. However, organizations have not been concerned about working conditions. This paper suggests some protective safety and health measures that can improve labor relations and consequently reduce the suffering of working in hospitals.
