title: [Pleasure-suffering of nursing workers in a hemodialysis service: a qualitative study].
abstract: One of the perspectives on investigations approaching the area of workers' health is the relationship among work, health and sickening. This study aimed to identify the factors which generate pleasure and suffering to nursing workers in a hemodialysis service. It is a qualitative research which was developed with twelve nursing workers. Data collection occurred from March to April of the year 2009. The collections consisted of semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis technique was used for data analysis. It was noted that the factors which generated pleasure at work were: appreciating the job, being valued, helping patients and having no complications on duty. The reported factors of suffering were: witnessing patients' suffering, a sense of helplessness, suffering with patients' anger, and relationship problems with co-workers. The results point to the need of group discussions on the issue of pleasure-suffering factors at work in such services.
