ABSTRACT
El objetivo fue determinar el nivel de estrés laboral en profesionales de enfermería de una unidad de cuidados intensivos de un hospital general universitario y analizar su relación con las distintas variables sociodemográficas y laborales de la muestra estudiada. El diseño de la investigación fue cuantitativo, descriptivo y transversal. La población de estudio fue el personal de enfermería seleccionado mediante muestreo no aleatorio. Como instrumento se utilizó el Job Content Questionnaire. El análisis de datos se realizó con el programa SPSS 20, calculándose media, rango y desviación típica para cada variable, realizándose posteriormente un análisis bivariante respecto a las variables sociolaborales de la muestra. La tasa de participación fue del 80,90% (N = 89). Se registró una media para la dimensión de Apoyo social de 3,13 ± 0,397, para la dimensión de Demandas psicológicas en el trabajo de 3,10 ± 0,384, y para la dimensión de Control sobre el trabajo de 2,96 ± 0,436. En el análisis realizado respecto a las variables sociodemográficas y laborales únicamente resultó significativa la variable categoría profesional, registrando las enfermeras valores superiores en percepción de demandas laborales y control sobre su trabajo en comparación con las auxiliares de enfermería. Como conclusión, resaltamos una percepción moderada de estresores laborales en los profesionales analizados. Entre las fuentes de estrés laboral destacan el escaso control en la toma de decisiones por parte de los profesionales, unido a la exigencia de aprender continuamente cosas nuevas. Por otro lado, el apoyo recibido por los compañeros de trabajo es valorado de manera positiva

The instrument used was the Job Content Questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 20. The mean, ranges and standard deviation for each of the variables were calculated. A bivariate analysis was also performed on the social and occupational variables of the sample. The participation rate was 80.90% (N = 89). The mean of the Social support dimension was 3.13 ± 0.397, for the Psychological demands at work dimension it was 3.10 ± 0.384, with a mean of 2.96 ± 0.436 being obtained for the Control over the work dimension. In the analysis of sociodemographic and work variables of the sample, only the professional category was significant, with nurses recording higher values in perception of job demands and control over their work compared to nursing assistants. In conclusion, there is a moderate perception of work stress in the analysed group of professionals. Among the sources of stress in the workplace was the low control in decision-making by practitioners, as well as the need to continually learn new things.
