Abstract
Aims: to evaluate the working ability of a hospital nursing team. Method: this is a descriptive and cross-sectional study. The subjects of the survey were 144 nursing workers from a federal hospital. Data were collected through the Work Ability Index questionnaire and treated by descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. Results: the ability for work was evaluated as low for 3.5% of the workers, moderate for 20.8%, good for 47.2% and excellent for 28.5%. There was a correlation between the ability to work and the role performed in terms of nurses and nursing assistants. Discussion: the finding is the same as that found in a previous study carried out with nurses. Conclusion: the research hypothesis was refuted by not establishing an association between work capacity and socio-demographic and lifestyle variables.
