Objective: The study’s goal has been to further understand the causes that lead to non-adherence of nursing professionals to hospital training. Methods: It is a descriptive-exploratory and cross-sectional study with a qualitative approach, which was carried out by using questionnaires with nursing professionals from a hospital in Belém cty, Pará State, Brazil. Results: The total population of this study was composed of 25 employees: 5 registered nurses, 11 nurse technicians, 8 nursing assistants. After analysing the questionnaire responses, it was possible to identify three major categories. Conclusion: The results demonstrate the need to adapt the practices of permanent health education to both professional’s and institution reality. It is important to underline that despite the difficulties encountered by the professionals, they understand the importance of permanent education. Therefore, it demonstrates relevance of this study, because by realizing the causes of non-adherence one can work in programs aiming to reduce the nursing professional’s dispersion in the educational activities at the workplace.
