Trabalho, Educação e Saúde - TES (Work, Education and Health) is an open access scientific journal, edited by the Joaquim Venâncio Polytechnic School of Health, from Oswaldo Cruz Foundation.
In this article, we identify the political and social determinations that underlie the work of management in the Brazilian Unified Health System during the 2000s and discuss the configurations of the qualification of nurse technicians based on official documents of the period. The work on the National Health System, in the last two decades, was permeated by two central movements: management ideas adopted by the State related to the paradigm of public administration management; and articulation of the specificities of the health work, at the same time, with the principles and guidelines defined by the Federal Constitution of 1988 and with the ways of organizing work characteristic of flexible accumulation pattern. The shape of these elements, in turn, is expressed in the actions and the Ministry of Health programs as new demands for health work, which give emphasis to the subjective, emotional and relational aspects of activity.
