Objective: to evaluate the levels of occupational stress of intensive care nurses in Boa Vista, Roraima. Method: descriptive-correlational study, carried out between November/2022 and January/2023 with 36 intensive care nurses from a public hospital. Results: 80.6% of nurses presented high demand (16.2 ± 1.0) and 63.9% presented high control (19.1 ± 1.0), with an equal distribution in terms of social support. Regarding stress scores, the majority of participants presented high psychological demand (16.2) and high control (19.1), which translates into active work. Nurses who did not receive support and recognition from superiors had a lower average score in the Psychological Demand (2.12 units lower) and Control (3.26 units lower) dimensions. Conclusion: the experiences of participants in critical care during the pandemic influenced their perception of work, and that, even though active work is considered less harmful, in the long term it can become negative.
