Professional training and labour crises: contradictions in the unified health system: a dialectical method

ABSTRACT

Problem: Job insecurity is a phenomenon which has a destructive character that expropriates the rights of workers which have been historically achieved. It distorts the ontological dimension of work and the quality of the services provided. These neo-liberal values have been reproduced in educational practices and thus affect the dignity of the worker in the Unified Health System (UHS). Objective: To legitimize the role of pedagogical training as a privileged locus for reflection and formulate strategies to cope with job instability in the UHS. Method: Qualitative research in the form of action research, using the dialectical method. Scenario Basic unit of Collective Health in Niterói. Subjects: Health professionals and trainees who are not employed as permanent public servants. According to Resolution 196/96, the ethical aspects involving the research into human beings will be respected.
