A constituição do enfermeiro empreendedor na perspectiva da subjetividade

Abstract

Entrepreneurship occurs in all areas, in nursing it also occurs, but in a discreet way. The entrepreneurial activity in nursing has grown over the years. In that way, nursing as an entrepreneur is still being built, and as every human process it is permeated by the subjectivity that is produced by the subjects as a result of their social interactions and their internal processes. The general objective of this paper was to understand the constitution process of the entrepreneur nurse from a socio-historical conception. This is a qualitative study by a case study carried out in the city of Uberaba-MG with four entrepreneur nurses. Data collection took place digitally in two stages, firstly an application of a demographically characterization questionnaire a Sentence Completion Instrument, and secondly a semi-structured interview via the digital meeting platform. The data were analyzed according to methodological framework that was Qualitative Epistemology, which was a theory based on subjectivity. The researche governed by Qualitative Epistemology analyze information through the Constructive- Interpretative Model. This research followed ethical protocols in all its stages, being initiated only after approval of the Research Ethics Committee. In the constitution of the entrepreneur nurse, they were perceived as indicators of production of individual and social subjectivity related mainly to the context of the historical and social configuration of the nursing profession, which are: charity, devaluation of the profession and medical hegemony in health care. Other contemporary aspects were also identified, such as the use of virtual social networks and the Covid-19 pandemic as producers of subjectivity in entrepreneurial nurses. Entrepreneurship in the studied group was identified as a catalyst for changes in individual subjectivity nurses, collaborating to reformulate paradigms and increase the valuation of the profession. The results are relevant as they lead to the reflection on the need for insertion of entrepreneurship in the context of nursing education, with a view of collaborating for the production of new subjectivities about entrepreneurship in order to overcome standards and to contribute to more nurses feeling able to open their own businesses.
