Abstract

Nursing professionals working in hospital units are exposed to many occupational risks which may mean work accidents of most varied types. This study is a literature review on these types of damages caused to those professionals. Characteristically, these professionals devote themselves to the care of patients and are required to have identical care given to their own health. Preventive strategies are a challenge for managers and workers, whose greatest gain is in the promotion of these professionals’ health.
