RESULTS: the corpus of this review refers to 16 articles that highlighted work overload, work process, insufficient human resources, precarious work environment conditions, lack of continuing education, team relationship and with users, evidencing that they are factors that possibly compromise health care and professional safety for best practices. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: to know the factors that impact in the scope of professional safety allows to subsidize interventions that guarantee best practices.
