Abstract
La tesis se compone de dos partes: una primera en la que se delimita el punto de observación desde el que nos hemos aproximado a la profesión enfermera en España y una segunda en la que presentamos los resultados de una investigación empírica sobredicha profesión.Dado que desde hace cuatro décadas la enfermería española viene autodefiniéndose como la profesión del cuidado, en la primera parte hemos mantenido un diálogo con la sociología de las profesiones y, en menor medida, con algunos de los planteamientos elaborados desde la sociología de los cuidados. Con ello hemos constatado que los términos cuidados y profesión son polisémicos, ambiguos y esquivos,por lo que cuentan con múltiples definiciones sociológicas y no existe un consenso sobre su construcción como objeto de estudio. Pese a la pluralidad de las aproximaciones, la utilización de estos dos términos en las ciencias sociales suele estar mediada por las connotaciones positivas que contienen. Así, la sociología tiende a conceptualizar el cuidado como una actividad feminizada que produce bienestar y cubre necesidades sociales, colocando en un segundo plano el análisis de los cuidados desde la perspectiva del trabajo. En cuanto a la sociología de las profesiones, su origen funcionalista sigue pesando en la recurrente desatención al carácter salarial de las profesiones de nuestros días
