DE MELO BATISTA, Karla    FERRAZ BIANCHI, Estela Regina. The relationship stress, hardiness and turn of nurses working in a teaching hospital. []. , 12, 29, pp.274-280. ISSN 1695-6141.

This exploratory study aimed at determining the level of stress, Hardin and its correlation with the shift among 72 nurses at a teaching hospital in Vitória-Espírito Santo. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire. The results indicated that nurses who work the night shift show high levels of stress and lower values for hardiness and control challenge. Despite the impossibility of generalizing the results, they serve to alert the nurses to the level of stress and the impact on the life of the night shift worker. They also allow a glimpse of hardiness as a proposal for intervention by the nurse to insert a greater capacity for tolerance to stress.
