Objective: To evaluate the association between the use of psychotropic drugs and socioeconomic and health variables among Nursing professionals in an emergency department. Method: a cross-sectional study with Nursing professionals from an emergency room, carried out from January to February 2021, using a sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire, a List of Signs and Symptoms of Stress, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Descriptive and analytical statistics were used. Results: of the 34 participants, 61.8% were under 40, 70.6% practiced physical activity at least twice a week, 70.6% had sleep disorders and 29.4% had high to very high stress. The use of psychotropic drugs was reported by 38.2% of them, mainly antidepressants and anxiolytics, associated with stress and income. Conclusion: Socio-economic and psychological problems can favor the use of psychotropic drugs by nurses. Better working conditions and pay are necessary for health.
