The study aimed at analyzing socio-demographic and working characteristics of nurses from public hospitals. It was carried out a cross-sectional study, involving 3.229 nurses from the eighteen largest public hospitals of the city of Rio de Janeiro. It was observed a feminine predominance (87.3%), with mean age of 39.9 ± 10 years. Around 7% referred having master or doctorate degree, 58.5% got their degree from public institutions and 24.5% used to work at the health sector before becoming nurses. Half the group has thought of abandoning their career, and almost a quarter is unsatisfied with their profession. Around 10% searched for a job outside nursing area in the previous month and 30% searched for a job in the same working area. Night work, engagement in more than one job and long professional work hours were more frequently found among men. The study has pointed challengeable aspects of nurses' profession. Results can subsidize support strategies to improve the working conditions in public hospitals due to their comprehensiveness.
该研究旨在分析公立医院护士的社会人口学特征和工作特点。这是一项横断面研究，涉及里约热内卢市18家最大公立医院的3229名护士。研究发现女性占主导地位（87.3%），平均年龄为39.9±10岁。约7%的人拥有硕士或博士学位，58.5%的人毕业于公立机构，24.5%的人在成为护士之前曾在卫生部门工作。该群体中有一半人曾考虑放弃职业生涯，近四分之一的人对自己的职业不满意。约10%的人在上个月寻找过护理领域以外的工作，30%的人在同一工作领域寻找过工作。男性中从事夜间工作、兼职和工作时间长的情况更为常见。该研究指出了护士职业中具有挑战性的方面。由于其全面性，研究结果可为改善公立医院工作条件的支持策略提供依据。
