Abstract:
Nursing work is divided into different dimensions: health care, education, management and research. Considering hospital environment, nurses are in charge of many managerial activities. The following study aimed at analyzing how the managerial dimension in the nursing is described in Brazilian nursing papers through a systematic review on the literature. The papers were researched on the database LILACS and SciELO from 2003 to 2007 with keywords as nursing, work, and management, constituting a 12-papers sample. The results displayed that the managerial practices of the nurses are mainly related to the technical management dimension, emphasizing the activities of coordination, supervision, and control. The precepts of the classical theories of administration still guide nursing management, even though some studies relate a slight transposition of this model and present suggestions for new nursing management ways.
