Abstract

Objective: The objective of this study is to analyze the attitudes of the nursing professionals in relation to their discipline’s free practice to establish and work in a private consulting office.


Methods: A workshop on theory and methodology tools under the gender perspective was con- ducted. Pretest and posttests questionnaires were given to 3 work groups at Facultad de Estudios Superiores Iztacala (FES- I), Facultad de Estudios Superiores Zaragoza (FES-Z) y Escuela Nacional de Enfermería y Obstetricia (ENEO) of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). the analysis was performed on both inter and intra groups.


Results: It was found that the career curriculum influences on the free practice of the profession tending to centralize its functions to health institutions, and that, under feminization and sexist arguments, its knowledge and applications are limited.


Conclusions : the importance of empowerment as a gender perspective methodology tool will provide nursing professionals with the necessary skills for their free practice through their personal development.
