Assistência de enfermagem perioperatória: ensino em cursos de enfermagem

In the present study, the authors describe the reality of the perioperatory nursing assistance, analyzing and outlining its trends among professors of undergraduate courses in nursing that teach this subject. Perioperatory nursing assistance, as a process carried out by nursing professionals, in a specific phase of attention to the patient prior to the anesthetic-surgical procedure, involves strategies and orientations that are expressed in the nurses praxis. In this study, the teaching of perioperatory nursing assistance, as a dynamic activity of the actions of the professors of Nursing in the Surgical Center, developed in a collective process, emerges as a ritual praxis of the systems realm, of the instrumental technical reason, moving away from the consensual understanding, from the communicative reason and from the encouragement to the alternatives directed towards the social/emancipatory praxis.Buscou-se no presente estudo, retratar a realidade do ensino da assistencia de enfermagem perioperatoria, analisando e delineando suas tendencias entre docentes de cursos de graduacao em enfermagem que ministram esse conteudo.

Aqui o ensino da assistencia de enfermagem perioperatoria, como atividade dinâmica das acoes dos docentes de Enfermagem em Centro Cirurgico, desenvolvida num processo coletivo, emerge como praxis ritual no mundo do sistema, da razao tecnica instrumental, distanciando-se do entendimento consensual, da razao comunicativa e do fomento as alternativas voltadas a praxis social/emancipatoria.

The experience of a woman working in nursing suffering from De Quervain's disease

This is a case study with a phenomenological approach on the experience of a woman who works in nursing and suffers from the de Quervain’s disease, an osteo-muscular disorder related to working conditions. This study aimed to understand what means to be a woman working in nursing and suffering from an osteomuscular disorder related to working conditions through a worker of the Material and Sterilization Center of a private hospital. The philosophical referential from Martin Heidegger was used for the comprehensive analysis of the statement in question. The analysis revealed that the physiopathological process of the de Quervain’s disease caused changes in the worker’s life, characterized by painful manifestations and especially by physical limitations, which generate a multiplicity of feelings. Anguish is present in the process of accepting the disease, when the worker perceives the fragility of her existence and recognizes herself as the one responsible for her own care, reaching authenticity and transcending the disease.This is a case study with a phenomenological approach on the experience of a woman who works in nursing and suffers from the de Quervains disease, an osteo-muscular disorder related to working conditions.
