[Basic research in nursing].

The integration between basic science and research in the field of nursing is an emerging subject and expanding in many countries. However, in Brazil, researchers have shown little interest in exploring this line of research, in spite of the numerous benefits it may bring to nursing care practice. In this article, by means of a bibliographic review, we will focus on the importance of basic research and take into consideration our own experiences and expectations as nursing researchers, emphasizing the possibility of integrating fundamental and experimental science with nursing research and practice.

In-service nursing education delivered by videoconference.

Thirty nursing auxiliaries at a Brazilian hospital were trained in intramuscular injection at the ventrogluteal site in a lecture delivered by videoconference (over an IP connection at up to 512 kbit/s). Participants were able thereafter to practise on the same manikins used for demonstration during the lecture, until they felt confident in carrying out the procedure. They then completed an evaluation questionnaire on the use of videoconferencing as a teaching method. Most of their responses were favourable. The principal reasons given for attending the videoconference lecture were the ability to combine work and education, the opportunity to participate in an innovative approach and an interest in the subject of the lecture. The present study demonstrates the potential of videoconferencing for distance education in nursing.

[Intramuscular drug administration: analysis of knowledge among nursing professionals].

Using a questionnaire with open and closed questions, this study aimed to: verify among nursing professionals which are the most used regions for intramuscular medication application; identify the method they use for delimiting the puncture regions and site; identify their knowledge of complications and contraindications of using the regions and verifying the use of the ventrogluteal region. Thirty-two professionals participated in the study, which used the dorsogluteal (65.62%) and deltoid (31.25%) regions. The need for updating these professionals was disclosed, especially regarding to anatomy, the adequate terminology used for designating the regions and the knowledge of complications and contraindications. Investments in training these professionals are essential for using the ventrogluteal region.

Assessment of the techniques of blood pressure measurement by health professionals.

OBJECTIVE: To assess blood pressure measurement by health professionals of a public hospital in S o Paulo State. METHODS: Semi-structured interviews and direct observation were performed with a verification list according to the criteria reported by Perloff et al. One hundred and five health professionals took part in the study. After measuring blood pressure, the level of concordance between the way the procedure was performed and the recommended one was assessed. RESULTS: Nurses and nurse's aides abided by 40% of the recommended procedures for adequate blood pressure measurement. The other categories of health professionals (nursing and medicine teachers, physicians, residents, and nursing students) abided by approximately 70%. CONCLUSION: Permanent educational activities aiming at standardizing blood pressure measurement should be implemented among the different categories of health professionals.

White coat hypertension and nursing care.

White coat hypertension is a clinical phenomenon characterized by elevated arterial blood pressure during a visit to the physician. In this study, we will review the key published studies related to this concept as they evaluate and compare morphological and behavioural characteristics between normotensive individuals, essential hypertension, and white coat patients. A definition of white coat hypertension, as well as information about its prevalence and factors contributing to it are also provided. We will comment on the implications of this type of hypertension in nursing practice, since readings of arterial blood pressure as ascertained by a nurse usually correlate well with those taken at home, a finding that should be considered in the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension.

[Pharmacotherapy in the elderly: a review about the multidisciplinary team approach in systemic arterial hypertension control].

The greater prevalence of chronic diseases like systemic arterial hypertension among elderly people results in an increase of drugs use. Therefore, the incidence of a lot of drug-related problems (DRP) rises, and this leads to many health problems in the population. Based on literature, authors emphasize the multidisciplinary team approach (physicians, nurses and pharmacists) to activities directly related with pharmacotherapy for hypertension, granting elderly persons a better comprehension about taking care of their own health, to reduce DRP and achieve satisfactory adherence.

Critical incidents in the teaching-learning process of a nursing course through the perception of students and faculty.

The teaching-learning process is complex and leaves many question marks, mainly when one thinks about quality. Therefore, this study aims at identifying factors that interfere positively or negatively in the teaching-learning process, through the perspective of students and faculty of the Nursing course at the Universidade Norte do Paraná- UNOPAR. This descriptive study with a qualitative approach was carried out through the critical incidents technique. Thirty-six faculty and 140 students participated. Data analysis revealed that the students mentioned 435 critical incidents related to the category faculty behavior, being 317 negative references and 118 positive. According to the faculty members' reports, the category interaction with the group produced 58 references, being 10 positive and 48 negative. An adequate teaching-learning process requires good faculty-student and student-student relationships, favoring good interaction and efficient learning.

[Nursing fundamentals: critical incidents related to care provided in supervised training].

The course of Nursing fundamentals introduces the students to supervised training and can result in anxiety and tension. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify positive/negative aspects related to the care provided during the supervised training, based on the critical incidents technique. The subjects were students of the 2 degrees, 3 degrees and 4 degrees years of the Nursing Undergraduate Program offered by the State University of Maringá-PR. Authors identified 95 reports: 48(50.5%) positive and 47(49.5) negative. The positive aspects were related to the faculty's presence mediating the teaching-learning process; and the negative ones were related to the professionals insensibility regarding pain and death.

[Gastric cancer: risk factors in patients treated in tertiary care services of a municipality in the interior of the state of Sâo Paulo].

This study was developed with gastric cancer patients submitted to surgery with the purpose to identify their exposure to risk factors for the disease. Twenty-four clients who had agreed to participate by signing an informed consent term and responding a semi-structured instrument elaborated according to the Health Field perspective were the subjects in the study. The data analysis allowed to identify that 50.1% referred to inadequate diet, smoking, alcoholism and psychological problems as the responsible factors. With regard to the consumption of food considered to be harmful, there was a tendency to larger consumption of canned food, sausages, smoked and barbecued meat and fried food in addition to diets with high sodium content. 66.7% smoke or used to smoke and 70.8% indicated the consumption of alcoholic drinks, preferably beer or distilled types. These data show the need to implement educational programs with the purpose to inform about risk factors aiming at health promotion.
