In this article we analyze the main aspects that contribute to increase the workloads of nurse technicians working in primary health care in Brazil, we identify the type of loads and rank the most prevalent aspects of this occupational group. It is based on a multicenter study with 24 professionals from the South, Center-west and North regions of Brazil, from 2011 to 2013, using data from semi-structured interviews. The data were systematized in Atlas.ti software and submitted to thematic analysis. The aspects that contribute to increasing workloads are low monthly remuneration, lack of material resources, work overload, wear and illness, relationship with the user, and lack of human resources, prevailing psychological and physiological loads. Adequacy of the conditions and organization of work are shown paramount to ease the workload on the primary health care setting, and to promote the health, wellbeing and quality of life in the nurse technicians working environment.

Objective: to identify the workloads of nursing professionals of the Family Health Strategy, considering its implications for the effectiveness of universal access. Method: qualitative study with nursing professionals of the Family Health Strategy of the South, Central West and North regions of Brazil, using methodological triangulation. For the analysis, resources of the Atlas.ti software and Thematic Content Analysis were associated; and the data were interpreted based on the labor process and workloads as theorical approaches. Results: the way of working in the Family Health Strategy has predominantly resulted in an increase in the workloads of the nursing professionals, with emphasis on the work overload, excess of demand, problems in the physical infrastructure of the units and failures in the care network, which hinders its effectiveness as a preferred strategy to achieve universal access to health. On the other hand, teamwork, affinity for the work performed, bond with the user, and effectiveness of the assistance contributed to reduce their workloads. Conclusions: investments on elements that reduce the nursing workloads, such as changes in working conditions and management, can contribute to the effectiveness of the Family Health Strategy and achieving the goal of universal access to health.
