Objective: to analyze the association between biopsychosocial and work characteristics and the stress level of a nursing team in the Surgical Clinics Unit.  Methodology: Cross-sectional study, developed with 52 professionals from the nursing team of a Clinical Surgical Unit (UCC). For data collection, a questionnaire containing biopsychosocial and work characteristics and the Work Stress Scale (EET) was used.  Descriptive and inferential statistics were used in the analysis.  The ethical precepts involving research with human beings were respected.  Results: as for the level of stress, of the 52 participants, 50% (26) had medium level of stress, 25% (13) had a low level and 25% (13) had a high level of stress. There was no statistically significant association between the level of stress measured and the biopsychosocial and work variables of nursing professionals. Conclusion: the nursing team had an average level of stress. Although there were no significant associations between biopsychosocial characteristics and work with stress, UCC is characterized by being a scenario where stress is present.
