A influência do trabalho no processo de envelhecimento dos profissionais de enfermagem

Abstract

This is a theoretical work, motivated by previous experience as a nurse and the observation of the pace of work of professionals in this area. The nursing is deeply involved in the promotion, protection and health recovery, however, in many situations suffers by external stressful factors. Often professionals find themselves compelled to work more than one job and suffer from work overload. As times goes by the signs of the human aging are accentuated and many are not prepared to this stage of life. For additional information on the subject was conducted a bibliographical survey from the collection available at the University of Passo Fundo and also articles and journals available electronically, from these readings was elaborated a theoretical article. In the first reading were identified relevant subjects to the topic. After, it was performed a detailed reading of the selected material. Some factors were identified that influence the quality of life and the subsequent aging of these professionals such as: the constant need to upgrade, the valuation or not of the professional in the institution, the pace of life of the individual and self-perception of aging.
