Formação dos trabalhadores no contexto da divisão do trabalho de enfermagem : entre o prescrito e o real.

Abstract

The Nursing profession has its own peculiarities of an activity related to health, but somehow, also faces the charges coming of capitalism, such as working long hours, low wages, fragile relationships of work and relentless pursuit of profit. Understanding the work as a means of training, where the employee interferes actively in pursuit of its activity, tried to elucidate how is the training of employees in the division of nursing work. The concepts of prescribed work and real work, with the support of the ergology permeated throughout the study. The research problem was: how the processes occur in the training of workers working relationship between prescribed and real work in a midsize hospital from Vale do Rio Pardo, in the context of the division of nursing work? So with the help of qualitative research and the theoretical basis of the historical and dialectical materialism, the articulated knowledge of ergology and authors of critical theory, I tried to reach the concrete reality of the phenomenon. The research was conducted at a medium-sized hospital in Vale do Rio Pardo and the participants were two nurses and four nursing staff in the same sector of the hospital. Data collection was through semi-structured interviews, participant observation, document analysis and protocols, and notes in field diary. As a result, it was possible to understand that contact with the work is fundamental in the worker training and that this training is uncontrollable and essential. However, this training learn to generate a fluid, historic and built day by day knowledge, that is not properly recognized and valued by workers and managers. I tried to demonstrate that on the prescribed work the division of nursing work dictates the division of knowledge, but on the real work, these bonds disappear and the job training happens. So we have a vertical hierarchy in labor relations, but the knowledge produced by the workers does not follow this hierarchical line and can not be trapped by it, or can not be controlled by the labor relations. Some questions that came up with this research permeate the school's role in vocational training of future employees and how this knowledge from work could be better used and appreciated. The possibility brought by this research is the awareness by workers of the valuation that "their" knowledge has to job training, thus making it possible, the existence of labor relations more humane and fair even, under the domination of capitalism.
