Empreendedorismo e suporte familiar em estudantes de enfermagem do Brasil e Chile

Abstract

Objective: To associate the general entrepreneurial tendency and perceived family support among nursing students from Brazil and Chile. Methods: A cross-sectional study with data from students from fi ve higher education institutions, collected from March to September 2018. A form, a General Enterprising Tendency (GET) test and a Perceived Family Support Inventory (Inventário de Percepção de Suporte Familiar - IPSF) were used for sociodemographic assessment. Simple logistic regression models and multinomial regression models were adjusted. Results: Of the 889 participating students, 82% were women, 60% were between 20 and 25 years old and 55% were from a private educational institution. Low or very low GET was predominant in both countries (Brazil=83.5%; Chile=78.4%), in addition to low levels of perception of family support. No direct associations were found between GET and IPSF. In Chile, there was a positive association between the chance that the drive category that makes up the GET is medium and high with the family autonomy factor being high [OR=1.16 (1.07-1.26); p<0.01].
