Abstract

CHINELLI, Filippina; VIEIRA, Monica  and  SCHERER, Magda Duarte dos Anjos. Trajectories and subjectivities in the work of nursing technicians in Brazil. Laboreal [online]. 2019, vol.15, n.1, pp.1-17. ISSN 1646-5237.  https://doi.org/10.4000/laboreal.1661.

This paper analyzes the work of nursing technicians in Brazil, in primary health care and hospital emergency. 48 interviews were analyzed; their scripts sought to understand who these workers are, how they build the relationships between training and labor insertion, and how they perceive social relations at work. From the analyzes emerged three thematic categories: the (un)predictable trajectories of nursing technicians and the search for a more socially recognized work; times of precariousness of the ways of being a worker and the sufferings of the work of the nursing technicians; only dissatisfaction or multiple possibilities of implication with the work? A tendency for the training of super-qualified technicians is configured, who keep on, to a great extent, performing the same activities, with little freedom of choice in their professional trajectories. The results show overload and difficult working conditions, which coexist with the presence of feelings of satisfaction associated with the affinity with the production of care, the resolubility of care and learning.

Keywords : health work; nursing technicians; subjectivity.
