| Sumario: | The present study aims at analyzing the motivations of students in a nurse technician course for working in the health field. It is an exploratory study conducted with 18 students at a high school institution, through an open-ended questionnaire about their motivations for working in the field. The data were analyzed using the thematic analysis technique. The interviewees indicate that their motivation for such work is due to the feeling of accomplishment and professional responsibility, as well as external incentives. On the other hand, they point to the lack of options for reaching higher professional levels and the personal fatigue of being exposed to suffering. Thus, they experience both suffering and pleasure. Based on these findings, it is important to adopt measures to incentivize their professional development and improve working conditions.doi: 10.5216/ree.v16i2.20827. |
