Objective:
to compare work-related damage between the day and night shifts of nursing workers in at a public hospital.
Methods:
a cross-sectional, and correlational study, conducted with 308 nursing workers from a Brazilian public hospital. Data collection took place from September 2017 to April 2018 using self-administered questionnaires that investigated socio-occupational variables and the effects of work (Work-Related Damage Assessment Scale). Analysis was descriptive and analytical with a 5% significance level.
Results:
during the day shift, the variables that most influenced nursing professionals’ health were body pain, headache, back pain, legs pain, and sleep disorders. When comparing the shifts, it was identified that daytime influences the studied variables more than nighttime. Job tenure was correlated with psychological damage.
Conclusions:
the results showed a greater influence of the day shift on the health of professionals who work in a hospital environment. Job tenure influences psychological damage.

The region with the most musculoskeletal symptoms was the spine and the greater dependence of the elderly, the greater the chances of developing musculoskeletal symptoms (OR= 1.3, 95% CI= 1.1-1.6, p <0.05).
Conclusion:
