摘要
优化工作管理实践，是该国各地区医疗卫生服务体系的必要要求。本研究以巴西中西部地区医疗卫生专业人员的视角为切入点，分析医疗卫生机构内岗位计划、职业发展与薪酬体系（Position Plans, Careers and Salaries，PCCS）的实施情况。本研究属于文献研究范畴，采用质性研究方法。借助Iramuteq软件，研究人员对文档文本内容开展词汇分析与递降层次分类法（Descending Hierarchical Classification，DHC），并依据巴丁内容分析法（Bardin Content Analysis）对文档进行解读。本次研究的样本总体涵盖211份文档。研究文档中收录的受访专业人员背景特征显示，受访者以36至50岁、具备高等教育学历的州级女性公职人员居多。尽管面临工作条件欠佳、部分管理者未落实劳动者权益等诸多挑战，但PCCS仍可作为医护人员的激励工具，有助于提升职业价值、稳定人员队伍并拓展职业发展空间，在联邦层级的实施效果尤为显著。
