Abstract

Healthcare workers are essential for promoting and maintaining population health. However, the work environment for these professionals can be challenging and stressful due to the demanding and emotionally intense nature of their roles. Amid long working hours, high emotional burden, and constant pressure, healthcare professionals face various challenges that can impact their mental health and well-being. In this regard, this article aims to discuss the role of organizational psychologists in the hospital context, highlighting their role in promoting the mental health of healthcare workers. Through a literature review, the challenges faced by these professionals were explored, such as occupational stress, burnout syndrome, and interpersonal conflicts, as well as the strategies and interventions necessary to ensure their well-being. The contributions of organizational psychology to the creation of healthy and productive work environments were also addressed through the development of prevention programs and psychological support. It is concluded that the role of organizational psychologists in the hospital context is fundamental to ensuring the quality of patient care by promoting the well-being of healthcare professionals and strengthening organizational dynamics.
