Work force aging generates the need to develop studied with the purpose to evaluate work capacity. The objective of this study was to analyze the work capacity of the nursing aides of a public health institute. A cross-sectional study was developed on the work capacity of these professionals regarding their demographic, work and lifestyle characteristics (n=241). A univariate logistic regression analysis was performed with inadequate work capacity (score below 37) as the dependent variable. There was an association with age (the eldest), work time at the institution (the oldest), body mass index (obesity) and item 1 of the work capacities index: present work capacity. This information can be used to create preventive measures and restore work capacity.

RESUMO Objetivo: analisar os artigos que utilizaram o Índice de Capacidade para o Trabalho (ICT) a fim de se identificarem os principais fatores que se relacionam com a capacidade para o trabalho dos profissionais de Enfermagem. Método: trata-se de um estudo bibliográfico, descritivo, do tipo revisão integrativa. Realizou-se a busca nas bases de dados MEDLINE via PUBMED, LILACS, na Biblioteca Virtual SciELO e no portal de Periódicos Capes. Incluíram-se os trabalhos originais na íntegra, produzidos nos últimos cinco anos, nos idiomas inglês, português e espanhol, disponíveis de forma gratuita e on-line. Apresentaram-se os resultados em forma de tabelas. Resultados: aponta-se que a amostra final resultou em 12 artigos, dos quais emergiram três categorias: Relação da carga horária de trabalho; Sobrecarga mental e Associação das doenças crônicas. Conclusão: evidencia-se que a carga horária de trabalho, a sobrecarga mental e as doenças osteomusculares são os principais fatores que interferem na capacidade para o trabalho e sua perda, além de serem determinantes fundamentais para a gênese de doenças ergonômicas. Fazem-se necessárias ações em saúde que auxiliem no desenvolvimento de estratégias a fim de se prevenir a perda da capacidade para o trabalho frente aos diversos contextos em que a Enfermagem está inserida.

Method: this is a descriptive bibliographical study, of the integrative review type. The MEDLINE databases were searched through PUBMED, LILACS, the SciELO Virtual Library and the Capes Periodicals portal. The original works produced in the last five years in the English, Portuguese and Spanish languages, available free of charge and online, have been included. Results were presented in the form of tables. Results: it is pointed out that the final sample resulted in 12 articles, of which three categories emerged: Workload ratio; Mental Overload and Association of Chronic Diseases. Conclusion: it is evident that workload, mental overload and musculoskeletal diseases are the main factors that interfere in the ability to work and its loss, besides being fundamental determinants for the genesis of ergonomic diseases. Health actions are necessary that help in the development of strategies in order to prevent the loss of the capacity to work in the different contexts in which Nursing is inserted.
