SUMMARY:

The object of the present study was the exercise of the nurses’ professional autonomy of in the hospital environment. The objective was to analyze how the nurses exercise their professional autonomy in the hospital environment. It is a qualitative study, with a descriptive approach. The research selected three scenarios: Hospital Universitário Professor Alberto Antunes (HUPAA), Hospital Geral do Estado Professor Osvaldo Brandão Vilela (HGE). Nurses who work in the General Intensive Care Units of each hospital participated in this research. For the purpose of constituting a sufficient information bank in quantity and with elements which support the analysis and discussion of the results anchored in the chosen theoretical framework, 19 participants were listened to. The information was produced from October 2020 to January 2021, through semi-structured online interviews, using Zoom®  and Google Meet® platforms. An exhaustive reading of the information was carried out, interpreted in the light of Eliot Lazarus Freidson's Sociology of Professions. The analysis of the information showed that there are several challenges and difficulties faced by nurses who seek to assert their professional autonomy in the hospital environment, whether in the process of care, team leadership, service management or the interprofessional relationships that are established in the daily work. There were multiple meanings attributed to the issue of professional autonomy and that revealed a lot about the way the nurses position themselves to deal with different situations which drive or discourage the development of an autonomous practice in the hospitals. Furthermore, among the various factors identified in this research that enhance the exercise of professional autonomy, expertise was highlighted as the central and decisive element during the nurses’ work. However, other factors came to hamper that exercise, such as power relations with physicians and members of the nursing team itself. The research concluded that the autonomous exercise in the hospital environment is a complex process which surpasses formal regulation and which is built and legitimized in the daily work.
