The PICo strategy was used to formulate the guiding question; The inclusion criteria were articles published in the period from 2013 to 2019, available in full and free to read, in Portuguese and relevant to the topic. Result: 66 records were identified in the databases without the inclusion criteria, leaving only 08 after the application of the filters and which comprised the review studies. The discussion raised refers to the correlation of the texts according to the theoretical framework that placed the studies in thematic categories, entitled: Psychological and social factors that contribute to occupational stress and Strategies used by nurses in coping with occupational stress.
