The study focused on levels of psychological demands and control over the work of nurses working in private hospitals. The general objective to evaluate the levels of psychological demand and control over the work of nurses working in private hospitals according to the demand-control model. This is a cross-sectional study of 69 nurses (n=69) operating in various private hospitals. To characterize the sample used the Sociodemographic Questionnaire and to assess the psychosocial aspects of work the "Job Content Questionnaire". Data collection was between the months of September and October 2014. For data analysis we used SPSS 18.0 and Microsoft Excel Office 2010 program. The main findings in the study sample were predominantly female (78,3%), aged between 24 and 47 years old with most between the ages of 20 and 29, 50.7% reported being married. Regarding exposure to stress the study showed that the sample had high strain (56.5%) and active work (53.6%). Given the above, it is concluded that the sample is of workers with high demand and high control featuring active work, which is ideal in nursing work, although not all of this professional performance scopes allow such freedom, because the aspects of the profession, for example, fragmentation of work processes, bureaucratization, routinization, rigid hierarchy among others. It is understood that further studies using this instrument model can contribute to the knowledge of the real working conditions of nurses, focused on psychosocial aspects, which are potential stimuli for stress at work. This knowledge leads us to a deeper reflection of the health of nursing workers in hospitals, and allows us to reflect on the changes necessary to reduce the psychological demands at work allowing greater autonomy and versatility in performing the tasks that can contribute to improving the quality of life at work, therefore improving the care provided.
