Objective: To identify the presence of hardiness in health care professionals who work in operating rooms. Method: A descriptive, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, conducted with 58 professionals, from January to February 2013, using a closed biosocial questionnaire and the Hardiness Scale. Results: The majority (88%) of participants achieved high average on the dimensions commitment and control and, of these, seven (12%) presented a hardy personality, with high scores on the three dimensions of hardiness. Most of the subjects are women (71.4%), technical nurses (57.1%), who are married (83.3%), with 11 to 15 years working in the nursing profession (42.9%), and as operating room nurses (57.1%), besides having multiple employments (57.1%). Conclusion: We observed a small percentage of professionals that have characteristics of the hardy personality, but it was found that most of them have low scores on the control dimension of hardiness; therefore, there is a need for empowering them in their respective fields.References
