to understand, from nurses' perspective, the intervening conditions related to the meanings of health economics and nursing work in hospital settings. qualitative research, conducted in a university hospital, with 18 nurses, whose theoretical and methodological frameworks were, respectively, Symbolic Interactionism and Grounded Theory. in the context of micropolitics, nurses understand the intervening conditions related to the connections between health economics and the work they perform. However, they also attribute meanings directed at macropolitics when they recognize health economics as a political element that is governed by decision-makers distant from nursing, but that directly affect the management of material and human resources in health. nurses recognize themselves as a strategic workforce to drive health economics, in hospital settings, based on the positions they assume in these scenarios, mainly due to the nature of the work they perform in hospitals.
