Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Sociology of Health
  • Gender Studies

Background:

  • Nursing is a predominantly female profession, culturally associated with 'caring' tasks.
  • Traditional gender roles create a dichotomy between 'caring' (nursing) and 'treating' (medicine).
  • This dichotomy masks power hierarchies and conflicts within professional nursing practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze professional ambiguities and work conditions affecting nurses.
  • To investigate the impact of work conditions on nurses' sexual and reproductive lives.
  • To explore the influence of gender, social representations, and power dynamics on nursing.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative study in Federal District and São Paulo.
  • Qualitative analysis of dialogues and professional experiences.
  • Examination of social representations and gender dynamics in nursing.

Main Results:

  • Professional ambiguities stem from the 'caring' vs. 'treating' dichotomy.
  • Gendered social representations influence nursing practice and identity.
  • Work conditions and power relations impact nurses' professional lives and well-being.

Conclusions:

  • Addressing gender biases and power imbalances is crucial for nursing.
  • Re-evaluating the founding myths of nursing can improve professional practice.
  • Understanding the socio-cultural context is vital for improving nurses' work conditions and lives.
