[Modes of subjectivity production of nurses for decision making.]

This study aimed to analyze the nurse's ways of production of subjectivity in decision-making processes that involve nursing care. We adopted qualitative research design. The investigative scenario was a philanthropic hospital in the State of Rio Grande do Sul. The study participants were twelve nurses working in this institution. For data collection, it was used the technique of focus group, with three focal meetings conducted in December 2011. From discussions among nurses, it was found that the nurse's ways of production of subjectivity oscillate between two extremes: a relationship of alienation and oppression, resulting in a self-protection, redundancy and domination behavior, or an expression and creation ratio, resulting in proactive behavior of nurses. Nurse's ways of production of subjectivity can condition and define behaviors that prevail in the decision making in care practice.
