Abstract

This integrative review aims to identify the
theoretical approaches mentioned by authors in studies
about the health of nursing workers. The search for
publications between 2008 and 2012 occurred in three
databases, using the descriptors of ‘occupational health’
and ‘nursing’. The sample was made up of 18 ar ticles which
dealt specifically with the occupational health of nursing
workers. Of the studies selected, the vast majority did
not make clear the theoretical framework adopted, and
among those which did, two approaches predominated:
work and subjectivity, and health policies. The different
theoretical approaches enriched the discussion showing
the strong relation between organization, work conditions,
and subjectivity and situations of pleasure and suffering
in the nursing work.
