La società oggi richiede ed esige professionisti della salute di sempre più ampia ed elevata taratura tali da riuscire a modularele proprie competenze in base ai bisogni e alle necessità del contesto.L’indagine di tipo trasversale (cross sectional) ha come obiettivo primario rilevare informazioni sullo stato occupazionaledei laureati specialisti, e come obiettivo secondario descrivere se e in che modo il percorso di studi ha influito, secondole autovalutazioni degli intervistati, sulla qualità e sui risultati del loro lavoro. Lo strumento adottato per la raccolta deidati è un questionario costruito ad hoc.L’indagine è stata condotta da maggio ad agosto 2011 su tutti coloro che hanno conseguito la Laurea specialistica inScienze infermieristiche e ostetriche presso l’UCSC (dall’a.a. 2004-05 al 2009-10).I risultati evidenziano che in 44 casi sui 111 considerati (40%) è avvenuto un cambiamento di posizione lavorativa dopoil conseguimento della Laurea specialistica e di questi il 68% (30/44) dichiara che il cambiamento è sicuramente legatoal conseguimento del titolo accademico.Tutti gli intervistati dichiarano che il percorso di studi ha sicuramente contribuito a modificare alcuni comportamentiprofessionali: utilizzo di studi di ricerca (93%); risoluzione di problematiche lavorative (68%); maggiore facilità a comunicarele ragioni che stanno alla base delle proprie scelte organizzative/assistenziali (70%); attenzione all’autoformazione(63%).Tuttavia, da un punto di vista di spendibilità del titolo accademico, questi professionisti vengono quasi esclusivamentechiamati a esplicare ruoli dirigenziali, nonostante la forte connotazione disciplinare del percorso formativo attualmenteposto in essere e che permetterebbe una crescita professionale anche nella Pratica Infermieristica Avanzata (APN).

Abstract
Our society requires and demands health professionals of increasingly broad and increasingly high calibration, able tomodulate their skills according to the needs and the requirements of the context.This survey (cross - sectional) has as its primary objective to collect information on the employment status of those whohave a Master degree in Nursing and Midwifery Science, and as its secondary objective to describe if and how the curriculumhas affected, according to self-assessments of the interviewed, the quality and the outcomes of nursing work. Thetool adopted for the data collection was a questionnaire constructed ad hoc.The survey was conducted from May to August 2011 on all those who had earned a degree in Nursing and Midwiferyat the UCSC (from A.A 2004-2005 to 2009-2010).The results show that in 44 cases out of 111 treated (40%) there was a change of employment status after obtaining theMaster’s Degree and of these 68% (30/44) states that the change is definitely linked to the achievement of the academictitle.All respondents state that the university curriculum has certainly helped to change some professional behaviors: researchutilization (93%), skills in problem solving at work (68%); greater ease to communicate the reasons underlying theirorganizational choices or decision making (70%); self-training abilities (63%).In the Italian context, it appears that the only career progression area remains almost exclusively the managerial one,despite the fact that educational programs have important subjects for Advanced Nursing Practice and Nursing Science.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
