Abstract

This is a study that analyzes the employment conditions and remuneration of nurses in the Family Health program The objectives of this study are: to describe the conditions of employment and remuneration of nurses in the Family Health Program (PSF) from the national scientific production; describe the forms of employment and remuneration to which PSF nurses are subject; characterize the factors related to the conditions of employment and remuneration that influence the work of nurses included in the PSF. The methodology used was the bibliographic review, in the SCIELO database, LILACS, BIREME AND MEDLINE of articles published from 2003 to 2010, in addition to periodicals and dissertations, manuals and legislation. Analysis of the results obtained in the literature review revealed that the conditions of employment and remuneration of nurses in the PSF are characterized as precarious, in the forms of employment, selection criteria and admission to the program, absence labor rights, low pay and length of stay in jobs.These highlighted factors interfere in the construction and consolidation of Primary Care consistent with the guidelines of the Unified Health System. To make work more insecure, it is greater mobilization of this professional category, councils and unions that they represent it to managers at federal, state and mainly municipal levels. Greater control and criteria are also needed for the opening of new degrees of nursing, based on the study of real regional needs.
