| Abstract | The objective was to identify the chronic pain and the loss of workers in the intensive care unit (UTI). Cross-sectional study quantitatively, we used a questionnaire to collect data associated with the numeric scale-EN, body chart to describe the pain and analgesic adoption. Workers prevailed 87.2% female, mean age 33 years (SD=± 6.8 years) and practical nurses prevailed (59%) as team members. The pain was rated by workers in moderate (M=5.13, Md= 5.0, SD = ± 2.1, MIN= 0 and MAX=8), the main losses were in the mood, ability to concentrate and sleep. The most affected sites were spine (43.6%), shoulders and upper limbs (20.5%). Associations occurred in situations of grief for their frequent presence in the last week and those using other types of drugs for pain control (p =>0,005). However there was no association between those who lack work because of pain p=0,357, therefore the chronic pain that is present among workers of the nursing staff, disturbs and interferes with their daily activities on various aspects of daily life, thus reflecting the decrease in quality of life of workers.
