A formação de enfermeiros no Brasil na década de 70

Abstract

The objective of this study is to revisit the period of time between 1975 and 1979, and, within it, the history of the implantation of nursing graduation courses in federal universities and in geo-educational districts. It presents the development of a project called Projeto de Enfermagem no Grupo Setorial de Saúde--(Nursing Project in Health) SESU/DAU/MEC (ministry of culture and education), and points out the social and political determinants of the, so planned, qualitative and quantitative development of the courses mentioned before. The research clarifies the proposal, process and accomplishments of the Superior Nursing Project of Education, which was predominantly private until 1974 and became predominantly public from 1976 on. Furthermore, it also indicates implications such as: the Commission of Nursing Education Specialists (CEEEnfermagem), which was linked to ABEn and was the first collective proposal of Areas and Lines of Research in Nursing (CNPq/CAPES/DAU/ABEn); as well as the introduction of institutionalized study fields in the academic institutions.

“…After completing this work, they became known as the "Three Marias". [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] This working group met in Brasília, in the DAU/MEC conference room on March 12, 13 and 14, 1975 and, based on a script established under the guidance of Lynaldo Cavalcanti de Albuquerque, deputy director of the DAU/MEC at the time, and with advice from Dr. Célio Cunha, as coordinator of the HSG, prepared a document entitled "Situation of Nursing -1975". 2 Among other actions, the document recommended that federal participation in nursing education be expanded by: increasing the number of places in existing federal nursing schools with the potential and demand; creating nursing schools in Federal Universities that did not have this institution or, if it were convenient for both parties, absorbing an existing school in the region into the University and creating a nursing school in geoeducational districts not yet served.…”

“…2: 16 In order to ensure the continuity of the work of the HSG, the collaboration of the EEAN/UFRJ was requested, which provided two of its teachers, who joined the HSG at that time. 13 In addition to these teachers, the group had the collaboration of nurses from several regions of the country, who participated in the entire work process, each with their specific function. 2 In quantitative terms related to the number of undergraduate nursing courses in the country, it can be said that almost half of the courses established over 51 years were created from 1975 to 1980.…”
