Resumo(s)
Com uma população portuguesa cada vez mais envelhecida, há necessidade acrescida de
Estruturas Residenciais (ERI) para Idosos mais dotadas de recursos físicos, materiais e
humanos capacitados a responder às especificidades e fragilidades da mesma. Apesar dos
cuidados aos idosos serem vistos como uma carreira de baixo estatuto e ainda persistir
muito preconceito em relação à pessoa idosa, tem-se verificado que os enfermeiros que
exercem funções nas ERI são altamente comprometidos com o seu trabalho, descrevendo a
sua prática de enfermagem com um sentimento de orgulho e realização profissional. Nesse
âmbito, este estudo pretendeu averiguar se os enfermeiros portugueses a exercer funções
nas ERI percebiam a sua ocupação profissional como um chamamento, se tinham intenção
de permanência nos cuidados aos idosos e qual a relação entre estas variáveis. Verificou-se
que a maioria dos enfermeiros via a sua ocupação profissional como um chamamento e não
tinha intenção de permanência na função. No entanto, ao confirmar a relação entre as
variáveis, concluiu-se que, dos enfermeiros que tinham chamamento, a maioria tinha
intenção de permanência na função de cuidados aos idosos, sendo principalmente
profissionais mais velhos e com mais experiência. Estas conclusões podem ser um contributo
valioso na gestão e retenção de recursos humanos.
With the Portuguese population getting gradually older, there is increased need for Nursing Homes more endowed with physical resources, supplies and skilled professionals ready to answer to the specificities and instabilities of it. Despite the carefulness for the elderly being seen as a low-status career and although there is still a lot of prejudice against the elderly, it was found that nurses who had functions in the Nursing Homes were highly committed to their work, describing their nursing practice with a sense of professional pride and professional achievement. In that context, this study intended to verify whether Portuguese nurses serving the Nursing Homes perceived their occupation as a calling, if they had any intention to stay in the care of the elder and what was the relation between these two variables. It was found that most nurses saw this occupation as a calling and had no intention to remain in the function. However, while confirming the relationship between the two variables, it was determined that, from the nurses who had calling, most intended to stay on the function, being mostly older professionals and with more years of experience. These conclusions can be a valuable contribution to the management and retention of human resources
