Changes in Nursing Work and Repercussions for Worker Health
Work is configured as one of the determinants of the health situation of individuals. At the same time that it contributes to the construction of subjectivity, producing meaning for the existence and meaning of life, it can trigger the illness of the worker. Health care, as well as the organization of nursing work, has been changing over the years, generating several occupational risks, which can have serious consequences for the physical and mental health of the worker. This study is a small review of changes in the world of nursing work, from the period of modern nursing to the present, considering factors such as the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the pandemic of COVID 19. Emphasizes and reflects on the increase of involvement on psychosocial risks. Our intention with this brief article is to provoke professionals to think about a new way of working seeking health for the nursing team. Maintaining healthy environments in places where we work with the pain of others is not an easy task. We need to create a habit of taking care and strengthening ourselves, to assist others with quality.
