Historicity of nursing graduate studies in Brazil: an analysis of the Sociology of the Professions

Abstract

Objectives: to analyze the scientific productions about the history of graduate studies in Brazilian nursing in the light of Eliot Freidson’s Sociology of the Professions. Methods: an integrative review, carried out in the databases indexed in Virtual Health Library. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses recommendations were followed. Thematic content analysis and Eliot Freidson’s concepts were adopted. Results: two categories emerged: “Institutionalization of graduate courses in Brazilian nursing”, highlighting the historical process of professionalization in nursing through transition from empirical to professional care, subsidized by the monopoly of the construction of one’s own knowledge; “The scientific production of graduate nursing in Brazil”, showing the strengthening of a new generation of nurse researchers, given the greater scientificity in teaching due to implementation of graduate studies. Final Considerations: the analyzes present the historicity of graduate studies’ institutionalization, supporting the understanding of professionalization outlines of Brazilian nursing.

Advanced nursing practice training: the reality of the United States and the first steps of Brazil

“…Furthermore, it is expected that, in the future of graduate studies, academics will be able to produce theoretical constructs and products to be transferred and implemented in practice by professional programs, thus advancing science for social development. Examples regarding this perspective include scales that are translated and validated in an academic program, they can have its practical implementation impact evaluated through managerial and care indicators; or a study that developed a technique for measuring the size and depth of wounds in bedridden patients in academics, it can have its applicability studies carried out by different professionals in professional settings, enabling the development of product transfer protocols for large-scale practice (6,7) .…”

“…The stricto sensu graduate course in nursing in Brazil began in 1972 with an academic master's course, and the first doctoral course was approved in 1981 (7) . The first professional master's degree approved by CAPES was from the Universidade Fluminense Federal, called the Professional Master's Degree in Nursing Care in 2002, regiment and curriculum of which was approved by the collegiate in 2003.…”

Enfermería de práctica avanzada: la realidad de los Estados Unidos y los primeros pasos de Brasil

“…La implementación práctica de escalas traducidas y validadas en un programa académico, por ejemplo, puede evaluarse por medio de indicadores gerenciales y asistenciales. Por otra parte, un estudio que desarrolle una técnica para medir el tamaño y la profundidad de las heridas en pacientes encamados pero que no analice su aplicabilidad en escenarios profesionales no tendrá protocolos prácticos para su implementación a gran escala (6,7) .…”

“…La investigación combinada con la formación en práctica avanzada, es decir, que promueva la autonomía en las áreas clínica y gerencial -como se espera en el doctorado profesional -, es fundamental para formar líderes políticos e influenciadores que avancen el rol profesional en el país (9) . El curso de posgrado stricto sensu en enfermería en Brasil comenzó en 1972 con una maestría académica, y el primer curso de doctorado en enfermería fue aprobado en 1981 (7) . La primera maestría profesional aprobada por la CAPES fue la de la Universidade Federal Fluminense, en el 2002, denominada Maestría Profesional en Enfermería, cuyo regimiento y plan de estudios fueron aprobados por el colegiado en el 2003.…”

Educação profissional em saúde pública

“…Identifica-se o ano de " [19]88" e o semestre "2º" para o Curso de Especialização em Enfermagem de Saúde Pública, com espaço para os dados pessoais do/a enfermeiro/a para requisição em três disciplinas, a saber: Enfermagem de Saúde Pública A, B e C com os respectivos códigos EMI 501/502/503, seus créditos 4/9/9 e natureza pela sigla OB (obrigatória). Este mesmo instrumento poderia ser usado para a pós-graduação Stricto Senso, embora neste momento da história a Escola ainda não a possuísse (2) . Tal afirmativa deve-se ao registro "Tarefa Especial/Elaboração de tese" com as opções sim e Educação profissional em saúde pública: especialização na UFMG 1988 (fac-símile) não (assinalado o não para o curso de especialização), bem como espaço para o nome do orientador e previsão de defesa de tese.…”
