Objective:
To analyze the spiritual well-being of nursing professionals with work-related musculoskeletal disorders.

Data was collected in a face-to-face interview in which sociodemographic, clinical and occupational data were extracted, in addition to the Spiritual Well-Being Scale application. Descriptive and analytical statistical analysis was carried out.
Results:
Most nursing professionals (n=48) were women (89.6%), mean age 44.3(±5.4), black and brown (85.5%), married (31.3%), nursing technicians (83.3%), more than 10 years in the profession (87.5%). The majority of participants had a religion (60.4%), 43.8% were Catholic, with positive scores for spiritual well-being (77.1%), religious well-being (87.5%) and existential well-being (54.2%). Having worked in the field for more than 10 years, having a religion, and having spiritual/religious practices were related to higher spiritual well-being scores. Nursing technicians showed high levels of religious well-being and there was no significant results when comparing the variables studied with existential well-being.
