Currently the health system is affected by excessive workloads, this encourages the development of stress and anxiety during work activity in its workers. In different hospitals in Mexico the prevalence of work stress ranges from 22 to 63%, leading the list of resident doctors and nurses. With the objective to prove the efficacy of the intervention program “Reborn” based on Narrative Therapy for the improvement of personal and job satisfaction of nurses, a quasi-experimental research was conducted, with pre and post-test, theoretical-practical nature with transverse temporality. We worked with intact groups, one group of professional nurses and the other of nursing students completing their professional internship in hospitals. The results confirm the effectiveness of the program for the improvement of personal efficacy and the reduction of symptoms of emotional exhaustion, depression, anxiety and stress. The highest scores initially shown in professional nurses, exposed a significant reduction in stress and anxiety, while nursing students significantly reduced stress and depression and increased personal efficacy. Systemic-narrative intervention programs are necessary since they allow improving personal efficacy as well as preventing and reducing job exhaustion and the associated unpleasant emotional states that affect nursing staff. Time and scope limitations are priority issues in the development of this type of interventions.
