Analysis was descriptive and analytical with a 5% significance level.
Results: during the day shift, the variables that most influenced nursing professionals' health were body pain, headache, back pain, legs pain, and sleep disorders. When comparing the shifts, it was identified that daytime influences the studied variables more than nighttime. Job tenure was correlated with psychological damage.
Conclusions: the results showed a greater influence of the day shift on the health of professionals who work in a hospital environment. Job tenure influences psychological damage.
