Maria Rosa Sousa Pinheiro - a grande líder da enfermagem

Exercise of Leadership by Nurse Leaders of a Class Entity from 1926 to 1974

“…According to Furukawa (2009), at that time, the Rockefeller Foundation offered them training abroad, already with the intention of training nurses under the paradigm of the Anglo-American nursing model developed in the United States of America (USA), which would come to prevail in the Americas. This fact marked the history of education and preparation of the former leaders of the ABEn for positions of leadership, in several health areas, after receiving training in education institutions such as the University of Toronto, Canada (Oguisso, 2002(Oguisso, , 2003 and the University of Philadelphia in the USA (Anonymous, 2002;Oguisso, Freitas, & Takashi, 2013), as well as after completing traineeships and financed courses at renowned institutions in the USA (Borenstein, Padilha, Caetano, & Mancia, 2004), France and Canada, in addition to post-graduation courses in Nursing Administration and Teaching (Oguisso, 2002;Oguisso et al, 2013) in New York, USA, and the Master's Degree at the University of Columbia, in the USA (Oguisso, 2002(Oguisso, , 2003. This phenomenon occurred mainly after 1922, with the creation of the Nurses' Service of the National Public Health Department, followed by the foundation of the Anna Nery Nursing School (EEAN) in 1923, and continued until 1933, with the creation of the Nursing School Carlos Chagas (EECC; Furukawa, 2009).…”

It should be noted that the 1 st Award of Nurse of the Year in 1967 was given to the leader who published various articles in national and international journals, receiving several awards for her work presented in nursing events (Azevedo, Carvalho, & Gomes, 2009;Ferrarini, 1968).…”

“…The profile of the former leaders of the ABEn can be clearly described, since there are common features in their professional and personal characteristics. The correct, clear, demanding and concise language in the right measure, a unique personality, as well as the example of simplicity were reflected in the grandeur of the actions of such leaders (Secaf, 1988), who always led a professional life with many missions and special endeavors (Oguisso, 2002), large-scale projects for which they were convened, and which they performed with success. Despite the much effort and dedication necessary for the exercise of nursing leadership, the former leaders, according to Alcântara (1960), benefited from an inquiring, disciplined and visionary profile, and had the ability to create opportunities to express their points of view, aiming to build professional Nursing.…”

Many of them were recognized as great leaders of Brazilian nursing, either though their important political intervention (Oguisso, 2002(Oguisso, , 2003 or their courage, determination, boldness (Oguisso, 2002), intelligence, dedication and endless work capacity. They knew how to express their thoughts with clarity and rationality, were clear-sighted, wise and, above all, had a secure and visionary leadership (Borenstein et al, 2004).…”
