Analysis of evaluations performed by undergraduate nursing alumni: a Brazilian multicenter study

Abstract

Objective: To compare evaluations performed by undergraduate nursing alumni in three dimensions: sociodemographic characterization, identification and insertion into the job market, and professional training evaluation. Methods: Cross-sectional, quantitative, and multicenter study with alumni of three Brazilian public institutions. Data analysis was carried out according to the internal reliability of the used instrument and by applying descriptive statistics. Results: The participants were 446 alumni who obtained their degrees from 2013 to 2016. Most were women, white (44%) or brown (38%), and were between 25 and 30 years old. Most had a specialization degree or were studying to obtain one (54%), had a paid occupation (89%), and were employed by a single institution (60%), with the care area prevailing (57%) in the sample. High levels of satisfaction were found among alumni of two institutions in the evaluation of content learning and essential experiences for training, whereas the other institution obtained better evaluations regarding professional practice. Conclusion: The profile of academic experiences, graduate education, and entry into the job market varied according to the evaluated institution. The findings favored critical-reflective analysis of the institutions’ pedagogical projects.

Repercussões Psicoemocionais em Estudantes de Enfermagem na Pandemia do COVID-19: estudo descritivo-exploratório

“…This underscores the importance of including a discussion of gender in nursing education (10) . This study observed the presence of increasingly younger nursing students, with graduates identified at approximately 21 years of age, a recurring finding in the literature (11)(12) . This reflects the rejuvenation of the field, due to factors such as policies to promote higher education in Brazil and the importance placed on financial independence and delaying marital commitments, reinforced by the predominantly unmarried and employed sample of this study.…”

“…This reinforces the view that the psychosocial impact on a population exposed to the pandemic can be multifaceted (2,6,10,(17)(18)(19) . In addition, negative strategies, alcohol, and tobacco use among university students have been identified in other studies (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15) and appear to be common due to their legality, social acceptance, promotion of sociability and relaxation. One study found that alcohol and tobacco use was higher among older students, with physical activity serving as a protective factor against such use.…”

Violência obstétrica: a percepção de acadêmicos de enfermagem de uma faculdade do sudoeste goiano

“…O seguinte estudo apresentou dados semelhantes concernentes ao gênero (Figura 1), 88,6% do sexo feminino e 11,4% do sexo masculino. Referente à idade, os dados foram divergentes (Figura 2), evidenciados pela predominância da faixa etária de 26 a 30 anos, totalizando 46,9% dos entrevistados Vieira & De Domenico, 2021). Buscando verificar o conhecimento dos acadêmicos sobre as fases do parto vaginal (Figura 4), mostrou que 75,8% (n= 50) responderam sim, e 24,2% (n=16) não compreendem as etapas do parto vaginal.…”

The newly graduated nurse as a second victim

“…Quanto ao perfil dos participantes foi composto por população jovem de até 25 anos, divergente de estudo multicêntrico brasileiro com egressos em que 46,9% dos participantes tinham entre 26 e 30 anos. (11) Majoritariamente eram do sexo feminino e autodeclaradas brancas, correspondente ao perfil da enfermagem brasileira identificado em pesquisa nacional. (12) Percentual significativo de enfermeiros pretos e pardos foi encontrado nesta pesquisa, que pode ser decorrente das políticas afirmativas instituídas no Brasil.…”
