Being a space that has high technology equipment and patients in critical and complex health, it is necessary to have a team within the hospital unit, trained with professionals specializing in the area, having as members of the professional support team nursing professionals. Factors that interfere with the health of nursing workers are related to inadequate working conditions, long hours, excessive tasks, inadequate physical environment, among others. Therefore, it is necessary to discuss and analyze the causes that affect the health of these workers that culminate in a compromised state of health and with high levels of occupational stress in them. This study aimed to describe the coping strategies adopted by the ICU nursing staff, since occupational stress can lead to several negative consequences for both staff and patients. This is an integrative literature review, by searching specialized databases in national and international publications indexed in the Virtual Health Library (VHL), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), Nursing Database (BDENF) and Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), with the descriptors crossed as follows: “Critical Care Nursing and Occupational Stress”; and “Intensive Care Units and Occupational Stress and Psychological Adaptation”, selected from the consultation with the DeCS - Descriptors in Health Sciences on the VHL website. The study sample consisted of eight publications, and after thorough reading and analysis and categorization of the articles, three categories were identified: “Individual and collective strategies for coping with stress in the ICU”; “Problem control and resolution as facilitating strategies for coping with stress” and “Challenges for the development of stress coping strategies within the ICU's”. Occupational stress is, in the context of ICUs, a reality of serious consequences related to the quality of care provided by the nursing staff, and there is a need for the dissemination of knowledge about the use of coping strategies by professionals. Although the use of these strategies is considered favorable to professionals, it is worth noting that their improvement and development in the nursing team needs to be the subject of further studies, since there was a shortage in publications related to the theme. Interventions capable of directly implementing stress coping strategies are necessary, given that the worsening of professional illness affects both team dynamics and naturally debilitated patients.Acesso AbertoEstresse ocupacionalTerapia intensivaEnfermagemCuidadosAjustamento (Psicologia)CNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::ENFERMAGEMTrabalho de Curso - Graduação - Monografia
