Abstract

Objective: To know the experiences of pleasure and suffering of Nursing workers in urgent and emergency services. Methodology: Descriptive qualitative research. Nursing workers from an urgency and emergency unit of a philanthropic hospital and from the Mobile Emergency Care Service of a city in southern Brazil were interviewed. The material was submitted to thematic content analysis. Results: The experiences of pleasure were related to identification with work, satisfaction with successful results, recognition, teamwork and strengthening the meaning of work. The experiences of suffering were attributed to the contact with the population's morbidity and mortality, to conflicts and to the precariousness of work. Conclusion: The experiences of pleasure coexist with those of suffering in the daily work of Nursing in urgency and emergency, being important spaces of speech and listening for the resignification of feelings and protection of mental health at work.
