Empreendedorismo na Enfermagem brasileira: desafios e oportunidades

Abstract

Introduction: The concept of entrepreneurship for economists is associated with economic development and for behaviorists, it is related to entrepreneurial behaviors and attitudes. These attitudes are related to personal and entrepreneurial characteristics such as autonomy, independence, flexibility, innovation, proactivity, self-confidence, and responsibility. In Brazil, the historical milestone of entrepreneurship in nursing was mainly due to the work of Florence Nightingale and Anna Nery, in the nineteenth century, fundamental for the record that entrepreneurship expands visibility and consolidates the profession, as "science, technology and innovation in the most diverse scenarios and fields of activity". General objective: To describe the challenges, achievements and business opportunities to undertake nursing in Brazil according to the literature. Methodology: This is a narrative literature review, for this purpose, a theme was selected for the review; research in literature; selection of the articles found; literature analysis; discussion/results of the selected articles; Expected results: The analysis of the 15 selected articles provided a broad and well-founded understanding of the topic, highlighting the main trends and challenges of entrepreneurship in nursing. The results were expected to contribute to highlighting the potential of this practice in the Brazilian context, as well as to identifying barriers that still need to be overcome. Conclusion: The results obtained demonstrate that entrepreneurship in nursing is growing and has the potential to expand the areas of professional practice, bringing innovations in care and greater autonomy in practice. However, the data also indicate the existence of important challenges, such as the lack of incentive and preparation during academic training, in addition to the need for greater recognition and support for entrepreneurial initiatives. We can therefore conclude that it is essential to invest in strategies that promote the strengthening of the role of nurses as entrepreneurs.
