Objective: to identify and map, in the scientific literature, interventions to promote coping and overcome occupational stressors in nursing professionals. Method: integrative literature review, through an online search, via the CAPES Journal Portal, in the Pubmed, CINAHL, Scopus and WoS databases, in February 2021. Experimental studies published between January 2011 and January 2021 were included, in Portuguese, English or Spanish. Results: of the 4662 publications retrieved, three (03) articles were included in the review. These tested different coping mechanisms, namely: auriculotherapy, progressive muscle relaxation with music therapy and a stress management program. In the three studies, the interventions were considered statistically and significantly efficient to improve coping and as a tool for managing occupational stress when compared to the control group. Conclusion: when training nursing professionals in problem-solving coping skills, they tend to implement and improve such mechanisms for their own benefit and those around them.
