[The nurse in charge of the materials and sterilization center and the perception of his or her social role].
This study has used the speech analysis in order to understand how the nurses of the Material and Sterilization Center (MSC) perceive their social roles and relate them with the structure of health care and with the process of the nursing care. The interviewed nurses appreciate their work and identify themselves with an already given social role. This valuation derives much more from the administrative role than from the one that is specific to the CMS. Within this context, there is no tension between their work and the relation, or none, with the care by the nurse. They express a perception of negative external value regarding their work, which is sufficient enough to generate tension and discomfort.
