[Performance evaluation: dialogues and representations of a nursing group].
This is a qualitative study, which aims at identifying the representations of performance evaluation through the point of view of those who evaluate and those who are evaluated. Nurses, technicians and nurse assistants of a school hospital participated in the interviews and focal group. Results showed that evaluation which focused on practices, generated suffering, and the ones, which focused on the being, constituted a source of satisfaction and development for those involved in the process. We concluded that, despite the broadest social imperatives, it is possible to redirect attitudes in the work routine. Considering this perspective, performance evaluation can be a very important tool for developing new practices.
