| Resumo: | ABSTRACT This descriptive study was performed using a quantitative approach and cross-sectional design with the objective of outlining the sociodemographic and professional profiles of the primary health care nurses in Cuiabá-Mato Grosso. The sample consisted of 79 nurses working in Basic Health Units in the referred city, who answered a closed data collection instrument addressing aspects related to the profile of the nurse-subject. The data analysis permitted the conclusion that 88.6% are women; most are aged between 26 and 30 years (26.6%); 57% were born in Mato Grosso; 49.4% are married, and 32.9% belonged to social class B1; 48.1% had graduated within the last five years; 73.4% had a lato sensu graduate degree, and none attended a stricto sensu course. Of all the participants, 88.6% participated in training/update programs with a course load of at least 40 hours over the last five years. Regarding employment, 58.2% were working under a temporary contract. The study points at the need for investments to reduce the precariousness of employment and to support continuing education.
