Vínculo empregatício de trabalhadores em um hospital público de uma capital do Nordeste brasileiro: sinais da precarização do trabalho em saúde

Abstract

The object of this study is to describe the situation of employment relationships between workers in a public hospital in a northeastern Brazilian capital, motivated by the researcher's experience and experience within the institution as a SUS worker. Amid the current scenario of precariousness of work and dismantling of the SUS in Brazil, the study is justified by the need to know the forms of precariousness that affect these workers. Its general objective was to describe the situation of employment relationships and the signs of precariousness among workers in a public hospital in a capital in northeastern Brazil. It is a research with a quantitative methodology with a descriptive approach. Data collection was performed using e Sic, the data received were tabulated in relative and absolute frequency, organized into tables and a general framework, all described with support from the relevant literature. The results presented demonstrate the existence of four types of employment relationships in the institution: public examination (76.1%); by court order (1.2%); PSS (9.8%) and without a contract (12.9%). Adding up the categories 22.7% of the workforce has a precarious bond, of which 7.6 % is nursing. Therefore, it is concluded that, in line with current neoliberal precepts, the results found point to signs of precariousness of health work in the investigated hospital, a reality that negatively impacts both professionals and the quality and safety of the service provided to users.
