Objective: To identify the perception of health professionals of an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) regarding the restrictive factors of the work in a multiprofessional team. Methods: Qualitative descriptive exploratory study conducted in a tertiary referral hospital located in Sobral, Ceará. Participants were nine representatives of the ICU multiprofessional team. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and underwent Content Analysis. Thus, dialogues with professionals were divided into four categories: disrespect between team professionals, excessive demand, lack of communication between members and lack of professional training. Results: The most restrictive factor of the work of the multiprofessional team in the ICU was the lack of respect between team members, which results from the hierarchy of power relationships, the lack of knowledge of each professional's work as well as the lack of communication within the team, highlighting the need for strategies to enhance communication and respect between members. In addition, the excessive demand coupled with a stressful environment such as the ICU and the lack of professional training were highlighted in the speeches as factors considered restrictive to the process. Conclusion: It was possible to identify the restrictive factors of the work in a multiprofessional team and strengthening of actions to overcome these challenges. It is important to understand that the actions to be developed are responsibilities of the whole multiprofessional team - not just one's responsibility.
