description ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze the concept of “interruption in the work of nursing professionals”. Methods: conceptual study according to the method proposed by Walker and Avant through integrative literature review. The study searched the databases using the descriptors: “Attention”, “Attention Bias”, “Health Personnel”, “Nurses”, “Patient Safety” and “Medical Malpractices”. The sample consisted of 36 studies. Results: the antecedents were alarms, answering phone calls, providing patient care, and lack of material/medicine. The defining attributes were pause, suspension, breakage, and intrusion. In relation to the consequences, the study highlighted the increase in frequency and severity of medication errors and change of focus. Final Considerations: theconceptual analysis identified the attributes, antecedents, and consequences and allowed to build an operational definition for “interruption in the work of nursing professionals”. It will contribute to the improvement of the work process and the creation of strategies that ensure safer care for the patient.
