title: Intervention strategies for the health of university hospital nursing staff in Brazil.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The aim of this study was to propose intervention strategies for the health of hospital-based nursing staff.
  
  
  METHODS
  It was a field study, with a quantitative and qualitative approach, developed from data collected through the Monitoring System of Nursing Workers' Health in seven public and university hospitals of Brazil. Intervention strategies proposed considered regional specificities and the demands presented by professionals in each setting.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The interventions were developed for: each workload to which nursing staff was exposed; processes of strain generated; and intervention strategies at the settings, according to the needs of the national scenario.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Monitoring the health of nursing staff is a beginning point for building strategies directed at the health profile of each reality.
