Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Workforce Development
  • Vocational Education and Training
  • Public Health Policy

Background:

  • Understanding the vocational training profile of nursing aides and technicians is crucial for assessing workforce qualification dynamics.
  • Identifying trends in under- and overqualification is essential for effective healthcare workforce planning.
  • The role of the public sector in offering and expanding nursing courses requires examination.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the current vocational training profile of nursing aides and technicians in Brazil.

  • To assess governmental participation in the nursing education landscape.

Main Methods:

  • Analytical study utilizing Pearson's Asymmetry Coefficient to interpret indicators.
  • Analysis of data from the "Nursing Profile in Brazil" research (FIOCRUZ/COFEN).
  • Inclusion of data from MEC/Inep and IBGE for comprehensive analysis.

Main Results:

  • Established relationships between training characteristics, geographical distribution of nursing aides and technicians, and overqualification.
  • Identified a significant phenomenon of overqualification within the nursing workforce.
  • Revealed a disconnect between the Federal Education Network's offerings and the demand for nursing technicians.

Conclusions:

  • The current vocational training system for nursing aides and technicians in Brazil exhibits overqualification and geographical imbalances.
