description In Argentina, postgraduate education for nurses is currently a priority both for professional and academic development. The offer has broadened in scope over the last decade, but little evidence has been gathered on real demands in the area. The aim of this study is to assess the trends and characteristics of postgraduate nursing studies in Argentina. The study is of the descriptive, transversal type. Population consisted of nurses working in public and private institutions. The 400-subject sample was taken from four geographical regions, and a self-administered questionnaire was applied.45% of subjects were between 41 and 50 years, and 27% between 31 and 40 years. 80% were women, 70% working in direct care, 41% performing operational tasks and 35% working in management, and 78% has graduated in the last 10 years.16% of participants have completed postgraduate studies, 18% are currently pursuing them and the rest has not yet begun any postgraduate course. The areas chosen were: 22%, Public Health; 21%, Management; and 18%, Education. 45% opted for conventional attendance courses. 100% underwent examinations.92% had pursued courses and other postgraduate activities; 92% on clinical matters.80% of the subjects showed an interest in postgraduate education; 38% favored specialization courses; 42% opted for MA courses and 22% for PhD courses. The most demanded fields were Management (24%), Clinical and Mother-Infant Areas (18%). 88% of subjects would prefer an accredited syllabus, and 40% for semi-presential courses.The greatest obstacles detected were cost (67%), individual interests (14%) and distance to the academic centers (10%).We conclude that in Argentina postgraduate offer is at an initial stage, and that offer has so far shaped demand. We foresee an interest in specialization courses in the future.

La formación de postgrado en la actualidad se posiciona como una necesidad prioritaria tanto para el desarrollo disciplinar como para el ejercicio profesional. Desde hace una década en nuestro país se a legislado al respecto, ampliándose la oferta formativa, sin embargo existe poca evidencia en relación a las reales demandas del mercado, es por ello que el propósito de este estudio fue conocer cuales son las características y tendencias en la formación de postgrado de las enfermeras de la República Argentina. El diseño metodológico se realizó a partir de un estudio descriptivo y trasversal. La población estuvo constituido por enfermeras que trabaja en instituciones privadas y públicas. Se seleccionó una muestra por conglomerados, tomando cuatro zonas geográficas, un total de 400 sujetos. Se aplicó un cuestionario autoadministrado.sLos principales resultados expresan que el 45% de los informantes tiene entre 41 a 50 años y el 27% entre 31 a 40. El 80% de sexo femenino, el 70% trabajan en la asistencia, 41% en función operativa y el 35% en conducción, el 78% no supera los 10 años de egreso.El 16% realizó carrera de postgrado, un 18% la esta realizando y el resto no ha realizado hasta el momento ninguna formación en ese nivel.Las áreas de temáticas de elección fueron 22% salud pública y 21% administración y Gestión y el 18% educación. El 45% lo hizo en forma presencial, teniendo el 100% evaluaciones.El 92% realizó cursos y otras actividades de Postgrado; sobre aspectos clínicos predominantemente (45%).El 80% de los sujetos manifestó tener interés de realizar formación, de los cuales el 38% expreso a favor de las Especialidades, el 42% de Maestrías y el 22% de Doctorados. Las áreas de mayor interés siguen siendo Gestión con el 24%, Clínicas y materno infantil con el 18%. El 88% elegiría una carrera acreditada y el 40% modalidad de cursado semi-presencial.Como mayores obstáculos se identificaron los costos (67%), luego los intereses personales (14%) y por último las distancias geográficas a los centros formadores (10%).Se puede concluir que la formación de postgrado se encuentra incipiente y la oferta existente ha marcado la tendencia en la elección. Para el futuro hay una importante expectativa con las Especialidades. Escuela de Salud Pública y Ambiente. Fac. Cs.
