Análise comparativa da base social da Medicina e Enfermagem no Brasil entre os anos de 2000 e 2010

Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze the changes in the 2000s in the social base of the medical and nursing professions in Brazil, as a result of the expansion of higher education in the country beginning in the late 1990s. The article begins with a descriptive analysis of the social base of recruitment, drawing on data from the socioeconomic questionnaire of the National Student Performance Exam in 2004 and 2010, for incoming and graduating students in medicine and nursing. Next, it analyzes the social base of certified physicians and nurses, using data from the 2000 and 2010 Population Censuses. The results show that there was an expansion in the social base of recruitment in both professions, especially an increase in students from low-income families and those self-identified as black or brown. The social base of certified physicians and nurses underwent a reconfiguration, characterized by rejuvenation and a decrease in work market remuneration. The two processes were experienced differently within and between the professions, highlighting the existence of differences in the respective professional groups' capacity to mobilize resources proper to the professional world and that can guarantee special positions in the work market and in social structure.

However, regarding employability, Nursing has experienced a demand for jobs below the market’s offer in the South and Southeast regions of the country ( 20 ) .…”

A formação de enfermeiros e sua aproximação com os pressupostos das Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais e da Atenção Básica

“…The proportion of private courses included in the sample is also justified in the Brazilian scenario, which has a higher number of courses from educational institutions administered by this legal sphere, of which proportion increased exponentially in the late 1990s, following the promulgation of the Law of Directives and Bases of 1996 13 . This sphere, in 1991, was responsible for 46 nursing courses; in 2016, it increased to 791, equivalent to 82.2% of the total nursing courses 14 .…”

Realistic simulation in immunization: satisfaction, self-confidence and performance of nursing students

“…De acordo com os dados apresentados, observa-se que os grupos foram comparáveis entre si, pois não houve diferença estatística no perfil apresentado. Os resultados evidenciaram que o estudo corrobora dados do questionário socioeconômico do Exame Nacional de Desempenho dos Estudantes de 2004 e 2010, referentes aos ingressantes e concluintes de Curso de Enfermagem, pois, também, apresentaram percentual de mulheres no curso, em torno dos 85,0%, e maior proporção de alunos que trabalhavam enquanto estudavam (11) .…”
