Methods:  This transversal study was conducted with 76 doctors and Nursing professionals of 34 Primary Care units in a city of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Data was collected between march to august 2015 by the Scale for Assessment of the Context of Work and the Scale of Indicators of Pleasure-Suffering at Work. For the analysis of data descripted and analytical statistics were used. Results: Nursing professionals and doctors assessed the context of work as critical by two factors: “Work organization” and “Work conditions”. The “socio-professional relationships” factor was assessed as satisfactory only by the doctors. About the pleasure-suffering daily routine, “professional realization” and “professional exhaustion” factors were assessed as critical and “freedom of speech” was considered satisfactory for both of categories. The “lack of recognition” factor was considered satisfactory only by the perception of doctors. Between the factors of both scales, a strong and significant correlation occurred in “Work organization” and “Work exhaustion” and between “socio-professional relationships” and “lack of recognition. Conclusion: The work context reflects moderate risk for illness of these professionals in which nurses signaled, with more critical assessments than doctors, for the factors of each of the scales, expet for the “freedom of speech” factor.
