Abstract

Objective: to analyze the availability (in terms of stock and composition) and accessibility (in terms of geographical distribution) of the nursing workforce in Brazil.

Method: this is a descriptive, cross-sectional study with retrospective data collection, identified by combining databases available on institutional websites and structured according to indicators from the World Health Organization's "National Health Workforce Accounts". The study considered nursing professionals at senior level (nurses) and middle level (nursing auxiliaries and technicians). Indicators of stock, composition, distribution (by age group and gender) and the ratio of nurses to doctors were included.

Results: there was an increase in the number of personnel between 2005 and 2010, mainly in middle and technical level professionals. There are more personnel aged between 36 and 55, with a predominance of women in all categories, despite the increase in men. There was an uneven distribution of personnel across the country's regions, with the Southeast having the largest number of professionals. The ratio of nurses to doctors is less than one in the South and Southeast.

Conclusion: despite the large number of nurses, their distribution is uneven. The growth of nursing technicians has significantly outstripped that of nurses, indicating more intensive technical training policies than those found in higher education.

巴西护士队伍的存量、构成和分布：简况。

方法：这是一项描述性横断面研究，采用回顾性数据收集法，结合机构网站上的数据库进行识别，并根据世界卫生组织的 "国家卫生劳动力账户 "中的指标进行结构化。研究考虑了高级护理专业人员（护士）和中级护理专业人员（护理辅助人员和技术人员）。结果：2005 年至 2010 年间，人员数量有所增加，主要是中级和技术级专业人员。年龄在 36 岁至 55 岁之间的人员较多，尽管男性人数有所增加，但各类人员中女性占多数。全国各地区人员分布不均，东南部专业人员最多。结论：尽管护士人数众多，但其分布却不均衡。护理技术人员的增长速度大大超过了护士的增长速度，这表明技术培训政策比高等教育政策更加密集。
