A construção de uma nova forma de representação profissional: um desafio no "Projeto Político-Profissional da Enfermagem Brasileira"

Abstract

This article is a reflection about the form of Brazilian nursing professional organization, highlighting the limits of the current model and the challenges for the future. It is based on the authors' analysis of an important social movement of Brazilian Nursing, the "Participation Movement" that took place from 1980 to 1990. This Movement has promoted a reflection about nursing work and organization and about nursing participation in the country's re-democratization, as well as defending the right to health. This article summarizes some gains obtained by the movement, especially in the Brazilian Nursing Association-ABEn, and limits in the discussion about the professional organization. It highlights the need to establish agreements and to include in the "Nursing Political-Professional Project" the importance of building a unifying organization originating from ABEn.

Importância das organizações civis de enfermagem: revisão integrativa da literatura

“…Analyzing the objects of study of the selected articles, it was found that, in the Brazilian context, ABEn was the focus of most of the studies, perhaps because it is the oldest nursing organization in the country, and even acts as an umbrella organization for other municipal, union, and scientific nursing organizations in Brazil (9,11,14) . It seems that, in a way, all of the articles addressed the contributions of the Association to the world of nursing, especially in the areas of education (15)(16) , care and professional practice (14,(17)(18) , political participation (19) , and preservation of the memory of the profession (13) . It is noteworthy that there was mention of unions, specialties, and supervisory bodies of professional nursing practice during the joint work developed by these institutions in favor of the demands of the field of nursing.…”

“…Analyzing all of the proposed objectives and methodological approaches used together, it was possible to perceive that the selected articles sought mainly to describe the contributions of the organizations to the development of the profession. As such, the descriptive methodology, historical and social studies, and theoretical reflective discursive studies were those best adapted to this purpose (9)(10)(11)(13)(14)(15)(17)(18)(19)(20) . This is possibly because these types of research enable description of objects of study related to the phenomenon of the social and political participation of nursing, as well as discussing their situational aspects.…”

“…As for the conclusions of the studies included in the present review, the evidence is that civil nursing organizations contribute to the development of the profession in its various areas of work (9)(10)(11)20) , in which professional training and care for human beings are the most discussed (15)(16)(17)(18)(21)(22)(23)(24) . In regard to professional practice and political participation in social movements, the need to strengthen and integrate such organizations is highlighted, along with the importance of participation of the working class in these associations (9)(10)(11)(12)19,20) .…”

“…Within the scope of political participation, in analyzing the historical background of ABEn one article referred to the Participation Movement as a social movement of nursing in Brazil, made up of nursing professionals and students who shared the understanding that ABEn should be a democratic organization, strengthened to participate in the general struggles of society and to act autonomously and independently that is, without suffering constraints by the state, political parties, and/or multinational corporations operating in the health care sector and that it was the interlocutor of the nursing profession in favor of the interests of its members (19) .…”

Conflitos éticos no gerenciamento em enfermagem: da percepção à tomada de decisão

“…Os profissionais são reconhecidos por desenvolverem um trabalho útil à sociedade, organizam-se em entidades de representatividade social, que estabelecem regras para o exercício da profissão e um código de ética que orientem suas ações (Albuquerque, 2006).…”
