In relation to the teaching work, it was revealed the multiple dimensions that have been permeating the exercise of this profession in the university, characterized by the burden coming from the accumulation and intensification of the tasks. The context reveals itself challenging in front of the diary demands, with possibilities of repercussions in the health of the worker, from the situation experienced in the context of work. In relation to the experiences associated to the teaching work, we identified the interference of the work, permeated by the excess of activities, in the life of these individuals, reflecting in complaints of the workers. This scenery presents itself by the necessity of using alternative schedule to account for the imposed demands, as for the living with the families of the impaired. We highlight the coexistence of pleasure and suffering in the work associated to the students and to the conditions and organization of the work, respectively. With respect to the illness of the teachers, the theme is comprehended in a single way by the workers, revealing signs and symptoms presented in the life of the teachers and diseases linked to the exercise of the profession. We identify the presence of factors that the teachers are exposed at work, which are considered threatening to health, referring them to the conditions of work, interpersonal relations and work overload as the main ones.
