【 摘 要 】

The specialist literature highlights that the clinical management of pain involves psychological difficulties associated with the pursuit of the alleviation of the suffering of patients. Therefore, an investigation was conducted into the perception of stress and coping strategies of 31 professionals of different categories from a severe burns care center (acute pain) and a pain control and palliative care unit (chronic pain). For this, a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Job Stress Scale (short version) and the Coping Strategies Inventory were applied. Compared to other categories, the nursing technicians indicated more stress factors. In compensation, they reported a greater diversity of coping strategies with significant differences between the services. These results corroborate previous studies, which warn of the adverse conditions that interfere in nursing practice. However, they also reveal the availability of protective factors, indicating perspectives of preventive intervention for the nursing team.
