Abstract
Objective: To analyze the sociodemographic profile and highlight factors associated with nurses' search for training in auriculotherapy.
Method: This is a cross-sectional study, with national scope, with 1,154 nurses. The data was collected digitally from June 2021 to January 2022 through a sociodemographic and training characterization questionnaire. Variables were assessed by descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results: 301 participants reported having training in auriculotherapy, the majority being women (88.96%), between 40 and 46 years old (26.86%), white (73.67%), born (48.83%) and working (48.16%) in the South region. The majority of nurses who have training in auriculotherapy (63.12%) did not specialize in acupuncture.
Conclusion: Nurses' professional practice in auriculotherapy is carried out by professionals who have training in professional qualification courses, a fact that is supported by the regulations of public policy and the professional council. Age was a factor associated with the search for training in auriculotherapy, i.e., as nurses age, especially young adults, there is a greater tendency to seek this practice.
