| Abstract (English): | Introduction: The burden of nursing care has not been defined as a theoretical or operational concept. However, several studies have demonstrated its impact on the quality of care, the increase in adverse events, and the health of nursing staff. Objective: To analyze the attributes, factors, antecedents, and consequences associated with the concept of 'burden of nursing care' in order to clarify its meaning. Materials and Methods: A concept analysis was conducted using Walker and Avant's methodological proposal, which examines a concept's defining characteristics and attributes. Results: The burden of nursing care is the relation between the needs of patients and the time available for direct care, management, and education activities. Both intrinsic and extrinsic patient factors can influence the patient's level of dependency and needs, increasing nursing interventions and hours of care, thereby intensifying the burden of care. Discussion: The burden of nursing care involves patientcentered care with adequate resources. The burden of nursing care demands planning and leadership from nurses. A lack of competencies and experience, combined with institutional inflexibility, increases the burden of nursing care, leading to dissatisfaction and adverse events. Conclusions: The burden of nursing care is a concept that is epistemically grounded in the interactive-integrative view because it focuses on meeting patients' needs through nursing interventions for direct care, management, and education.

| Abstract (Spanish): | Introducción: La carga del cuidado de enfermería no se ha definido como concepto teórico ni operacional; sin embargo, diversos estudios han demostrado su impacto en la calidad de la atención de enfermería, el incremento de eventos adversos y la salud del personal de enfermería. Objetivo: Analizar atributos, factores, antecedentes y consecuencias vinculadas al concepto de Carga del Cuidado de Enfermería con el fin de esclarecer su significado. Materiales y Métodos: Análisis de concepto a partir de la propuesta metodológica de Walker y Avant, a través de la cual se examinan las características que define un concepto con sus atributos. Resultados: La carga del cuidado de enfermería es la relación entre las necesidades de los pacientes y el tiempo disponible para actividades directas, de gestión y educación. Tanto los factores intrínsecos como los extrínsecos del paciente pueden influir en su nivel de dependencia y necesidades, incrementando las intervenciones de enfermería y las horas de cuidado, impactando así la carga del cuidado. Discusión: La carga de cuidado de enfermería implica atención centrada en el paciente con recursos adecuados. Requiere planificación y liderazgo por parte del profesional de enfermería. La falta de competencias y experiencia, junto con la inflexibilidad institucional, aumenta la carga y conduce a insatisfacción y eventos adversos. Conclusiones: La carga del cuidado de enfermería es un concepto con fundamentación epistémica en la visión interactiva-integrativa, dado que se centra en la satisfacción de las necesidades de los pacientes mediante las intervenciones de enfermería de cuidado directo, de gestión y educación.

| Abstract (Portuguese): | Introdução: A sobrecarga dos Cuidados de Enfermagem não foi definida como um conceito teórico ou operacional, no entanto, existem vários estudos que demonstram o seu impacto na qualidade dos cuidados de enfermagem, no aumento de eventos adversos e na saúde dos trabalhadores de enfermagem. Objetivo: Analisar atributos, fatores, antecedentes e consequências vinculados ao conceito de Sobrecarga de Cuidados de Enfermagem para esclarecer seu significado. Materiais e Métodos: Análise de conceito baseada na proposta metodológica de Walker e Avant, por meio da qual são examinadas as características que definem um conceito com seus atributos. Resultados: A sobrecarga do cuidado de enfermagem é a relação entre as necessidades dos pacientes e o tempo disponível para atividades diretas, gerenciais e educativas. Tanto os fatores intrínsecos quanto os extrínsecos do paciente podem influenciar seu nível de dependência e necessidades, aumentando as intervenções de enfermagem e as horas de cuidado, impactando assim na carga de cuidado. Discussão: A sobrecarga de cuidados de enfermagem implica cuidados centrados no paciente e com recursos adequados. Requer planejamento e liderança por parte do profissional de enfermagem. A falta de competências e experiência, aliada à inflexibilidade institucional, aumenta a carga e leva à insatisfação e a eventos adversos. Conclusões: A carga dos cuidados de enfermagem é um conceito com fundamentos epistêmicos na visão interativo-integrativa, dado que se concentra na satisfação das necessidades dos pacientes por meio de intervenções diretas de cuidado, gestão e educação de enfermagem.
