Objective:

The present investigation aims to understand the impact of providing care to people with suspected or confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection on nurses' quality of life and psychosocial risk factors and to identify associations with their sociodemographic characteristics.

Methods:

An exploratory-descriptive study was carried out through the World Health Organization Quality of Life Instruments - Bref and Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire scales, with a total of 127 valid responses. Data were processed in SPSS, using descriptive statistics and crosstabs.

Results:

The mean values of quality of life did not reach 70 points and 22 psychosocial risk factors were identified in intermediate and high degree. Some sociodemographic characteristics seem to be associated with these results.

Conclusion:

The nurses of the sample were significantly affected by the provision of care in the context of the pandemic.
