Abstract

This article aimed to analyze the types of work bond of nurses from Primary Health Care in Brazil. This was a cross-sectional study of a quantitative and descriptive approach. Secondary microdata related to the breakdown of the external evaluation research of the Access Improvement Program and the Quality of Basic Care were used. As for the type of bond, except for the Northern Region (33.70%), all other regions presented as the main respondent for statutory public servants: South (66.20%), CentralWest (56.50%), Northeast (40.33%), Southeast (36.69%). Nurses with temporary contracts for public administration and temporary service contracts had important participation in the Northeast (29.51% and 19.33%) and Central-West (16.03% and 17.86%). Contract and employee through Consolidation of Labor Laws had more expression in the Southeast (23.54% and 8.27%) and in the South (5.93% and 19.31%). In the Southeast, the participation of workers employed by social health organizations was expressive. The growing presence of precarious labor links was noted, to the detriment of stable bonds. The new forms of flexible organization of work relationships bring significant impact to the work process, overload nurses in inadequate working conditions, and compromise the quality of care, reducing the resolubility of Primary Care.
