Implicações da visibilidade da enfermagem no exercício profissional

Nursing construction image is permeated by historical socioeconomic and cultural aspects. This theme aims to understand the perception of nurses regarding the visibility of nursing staffs daily work. This qualitative research is exploratory, with 30 nurses at a university hospital in southern Brazil. The data was collected from July to October 2012, through semi-structured interviews and submitted for a discursive textual analysis. The results show that nursing visibility is related to a professional historical trajectory, to an absence of recognition of the scientific aspect of Nursing, to erroneous placement in the media, to improper behavior towards the staff and also to work overload. Thus, the demystification of nursings image includes greater media visibility, conducting personnel marketing, appropriate behavior in front of health staff and professional demonstrations of autonomy, challenges that must be overcome by nursing.

Crença religiosa e doação de órgãos e tecidos: revisão integrativa da literatura

This study aims to analyzing whether religion interfere in the decision for donors and/or their family to consent to both organ donation and the process of organ collection and transplantation. This integrating literature review has been carried out through searches in SciELO, MEDLINE and LILACS databases, from 1995 to 2010, using the following words: organ donation, organ transplantation, ethics, religion, and religious belief. Nineteen papers have been selected. We have concluded that spiritual beliefs have influence on decision-making. No religion has been completely contrary to donation, but the belief of death being related to heart failure, and the rituals associated with the dead body hinder the possibilities of adhering to donation and, ultimately, to transplantation

Pontos críticos na produção científica de enfermagem - os¹ trabalhos submetidos à REBEn

This is an exploratory descriptive study which aims at detecting critical aspects of the manuscripts submitted to REBEn (Brazilian Journal of Nursing) for publishing. Data was collected through the evaluation instruments used by the Editorial Board of REBEn on the selection of articles for the journal. Thirty-two evaluation reports, which represent 50% of the articles published in one volume of the journal, were analyzed. Results showed that most of the articles accepted for publishing were deficient, needed correction and that the authors needed guidance regarding requirements for publishing, such as peer review. Another problem detected was that the authors of the articles submitted did not seem to know the norms of presentation of the journal.Estudio exploratorio descriptivo que tuvo como objetivo detectar los puntos criticos de manuscritos que se someten a una evaluacion para publicarlos en la Revista Brasilena de Enfermeria. Se recogieron los datos a partir de instrumentos de evaluacion utilizados por el Consejo Editorial de la Revista, de los cuales se estudiaron 32 pareceres favorables a la publicacion, que correspondieron a los 50% de los textos publicados en un volumen de la Revista. Los resultados han demostrado que la totalidad de los textos que se aprueban para la divulgacion presentan deficiencia y necesidad de correcciones; por eso ha sido posible presentar dentro del estudio requisitos y orientaciones que auxilian a los autores a encaminar sus producciones, con un sistema de revision por pares. Aun aparece como un dato importante el desconocimiento por parte de los autores de las normas de publicacion del periodico.
