Abstract

The aim was to identify which factors lead health professionals to use psychoactive substances, identify the most commonly abused substances and the consequences for the worker’s life. This is an integrative review carried out in the database of virtual health library, which resulted in 88 articles, of which after evaluation there were 12. It was found that triggering factors were related to pressure at work, environmental and individual risks and that centrally acting drugs are used despite they recognized the risks. We concluded that conducting research on the professional profile is important in order to implement preventive health interventions for this population.
