Results: Study carried out with 89 nursing professionals. The results revealed that nursing professionals presented minimum hopelessness. There is an association between hopelessness and pre-existing illness (ρ= 0.00), drug treatment (ρ = 0.01), psychiatric follow-up (ρ = 0.00) and some mental disorders [major depressive episode (ρ= 0.02), major depressive episode with melancholic characteristics (ρ= 0.02), dysthymic disorder (ρ= 0.01), agoraphobia (ρ = 0.02), social phobia (ρ= 0.00), risk of suicide (ρ= 0.00), alcohol dependence (ρ = 0.02), substance dependence (ρ= 0.00), antisocial personality disorder (ρ = 0.02) and psychiatric comorbidities (ρ= 0.02)]. Mild hopelessness (21.3%) was evidenced in depression, agoraphobia, panic disorder, risk of suicide, alcohol use and antisocial personality disorder, while moderate hopelessness (1.1%) was present in social phobia and use of psychoactive substances.
