Abstract
Objective: To assess the association between sociodemographic profile and entrepreneurial tendency among nurses providing care to individuals with wounds. Method: A cross-sectional study conducted in 2023 with 115 nurses who participated in an educational activity organized by the Regional Nursing Council of Rio de Janeiro. Data were collected virtually using the Entrepreneurial Tendency Test. Results: Entrepreneurial nurses were predominantly women (87.9%) over 41 years of age (62.6%), with postgraduate education (94.7%), more than 10 years since graduation (66.9%), and engaged in entrepreneurship to supplement their income (87.8%), which ranged between 4 and 9 minimum wages (64.5%). Most participants showed low or very low entrepreneurial tendency (40.1%). Higher scores in the success/achievement and creative tendency dimensions were associated with higher income levels. Conclusions: Although the nurses assessed demonstrated low or very low entrepreneurial tendency, they were experienced, highly qualified professionals who seek to advance their careers through drive and determination.
