The sample consisted of 13 nurses and 2 unit shift managers. of analysis, selected by means of an intentional sampling of a non-probabilistic type. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used.

Two men (13,3 %) and 13 women (86,7 %) were identified. 80 % were found in the range of 31 to 45 years and 20 % were older than 45 years. 46,6 % of human resources had worked between 5 and 10 years, while 53,4 % for more than 10 years.
