They can cause changes in their biopsychic state and, consequently, physical and psychological exhaustion. This study aimed to identify the nurses´ workload working in the Family Health Strategy in a municipality in the Northeast of Brazil. The research is linked to a larger project entitled “Nonmaterial technological innovation in health: workloads and satisfaction”, from the research group Praxis - Center for studies on work, citizenship, health, and nursing, of the Post-Graduate Program in Nursing of the Federal University of Santa Catarina. This is an exploratory, descriptive, qualitative study of a research type, guided by theories of Historical-Dialectical Materialism and workloads. There was a sample of 14 nurses from the Family Health Strategy (ESF), distributed in the five health districts of the city of Natal (North I, North II, South, East, and West). Data collection was done through semi-structured interviews with each nurse working at the FHS. Data analysis was performed based on the thematic content analysis of Bardin. The project was approved by the Ethics and Research Committee (CEP) of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) under the opinion nº 1.880.221 and CAAE: 62021516.7.0000.5537. The study was conducted based on the principles of ethics established by resolution 466/12. The interviewed people were female (100%), with more than 5 years of professional experience (100%) and in the ESF (100%), most between 50 and 59 years old, with specialization/residency (50%), effective/public servant, with a workday of 40 hours (85.71%) and only one job (85.71%). excess demand, management failures, problems in solvency, insecurity, taking responsibility for the work of other professionals, excess demand, and the lack of materials are among the factors that increase workload. The factors that help reduce workload are bonding, teamwork, management support, and I like working at ESF. The workload is influenced by the interrelation of work with the health professional, and this dialectical relationship can cause sickness of the ESF member.Acesso AbertoEnfermagemCargas de trabalhoEstratégia Saúde da FamíliamasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::ENFERMAGEM
