Objective: To identify the perception of the nursing team about the motivational factors in the work environment. Methods: An exploratory study with a qualitative approach, carried out from January to February, 2015, in the pediatrics sector of a reference hospital of medium complexity, with 12 nursing technicians and nine nurses. The data collection was based on interviews guided by a semi-structured instrument and the data collected were analyzed according to Bardin. Results: The main factors that could contribute to the motivation of the nursing team were: sufficient supply of materials; motivational meetings; standardization of conduits and elaboration of assistance protocols; training courses and training; increased communication and feedback among the team of activities performed. The factors that discouraged them were: lack of recognition of the profession, lack of material, poor remuneration, excessive workload, high number of patients and nonconstructive criticism. Conclusions: The results identified could contribute with nursing managers to the planning of strategies that aim to increase the motivation in the professionals of the team. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: to understand the nurse's view on the use of the Manchester protocol and on the user population in the risk assessment of an Emergency Care Unit (ECU). Method: qualitative case study based on Comprehensive Sociology of Daily Life; open interviews were carried out with 12 nurses who perform the risk assessment. Results: there was a reversal of flow of users between the basic network and urgency/emergency services resulting in overcrowding in the ECU and work overload due to lack of information and effective communication in the Health System (publicprivate) to make users aware of the real function of the urgency/emergency service. We also identified flaws in the management of the ECU. Conclusion: despite the challenges to perform risk assessment as a welcoming and equanimous strategy to meet the demand, the nurses believed that the Manchester protocol has brought safety to the practice and quality to the care provided.
