Progressive muscle relaxation is a nursing intervention that affects the individual with physiological and behavioral responses, thus, the introduction of this technology in the work environments of these professionals, becomes important and challenging, since, it allows to reflect in improvements for the institutions and individual health, as well as patient care. Objective: to evaluate the effect of the use of a relaxation protocol on the levels of stress and well-being in the work of the hospital nurses.

Results: the average of the stress decreased from 60/55 (p= 0.166) and the average of the welfare factors at work: positive affect, negative affect and achievement increased from 3.22 / 3.42 (p = 0.073); 2.07 / 2.29 (p = 0.094) and 3.71 / 3.92 (p = 0.060), respectively.
