Objective: This article aims to analyze the contextual aspects of capability index for the work of the nursing staff in the hospital context. Materials and Methods: We used literature review as the methodology and the data was analyzed according to the contextual analysis proposed by Hinds, Chaves and Cypress. Results: Most of the scientific work among nurses regards to good work ability among these professionals. However, there is still a considerable number of workers who have low or moderate work ability, with various organizational and personal reasons that account for this reality.
