The outcomes show that nursing attendants, most times, perform the same procedures as the nursing aids and may interfere with the provided service quality and cause iatrogenics; others consider them as important at institutions for their practice; some others express themselves completely against the non-qualified professionalization process; anothers express themselves for this process, but disagree on how it is accomplished for they do not perceive any change in their professional profile after being qualified.
