O Ensino da cancerologia na enfermagem no Brasil e a contribuição da Escola Paulista de Enfermagem-Universidade Federal de São Paulo

Cancer control and improvement in health care services require investment in education. We aim in this paper to update the historical retrospective in order to implement medical oncology teaching in nursing undergraduate courses in Brazil and to describe the teaching advancements in this subject at the Paulista Nursing School at the Federal University of Sao Paulo, Brazil (Escola Paulista de Enfermagem da Universidade Federal de Sao Paulo). This is a descriptive study with a historical perspective, using documental analysis. Primary sources were event reports. Secondary sources were nursing articles published in national periodicals. The dynamic and collective character of creating the teaching proposal for medical oncology was decisive in developing its pragmatic and operational structure under the light shed by the concepts of cross-section and interdisciplinary aspects; and by the defense of articulation between educational and service institutions, and by the policy of continuous professional improvement. We conclude that advancements were not homogeneous in the different Brazilian regions and among teaching and health institutions; indicating the need to resume the process.

Structure and process of nursing care for prevention of surgical site infection: observational study

High rates of infection can reflect the quality of the service. Two previous studies in the same place reported an overall surgical site infection incidence of 14,1% and 22%, what motivated this research. The aim of this study was to analyze the structure and nursing process and its possible relationship with the prevention and control of surgical site infection (SSI). It is a descriptive, observational and documentary analysis study performed in a large general teaching Hospital in Sao Paulo from August 2007 to March 2008 . The data were collected from institutional documents and trough directed observation of the nursing practice . The results showed that the normative documents are in accord with the current evidence. However, the structure issues present limitations with negative impact for the prevention of SSI. The nursing processes accomplished partially to the recommended standards , the hand washing, appropriate use of antibiotics and accomplishment of postoperative dressing’s present improvement opportunities that could positively impact the surgical site infection’s rates. These results point out the need of review the nursing process and the adequacy of some structural issues in order to achieve the standards for prevention and control of the surgical site infection.

Adaptação transcultural do Caring Ability Inventory para a língua portuguesa

Objective Describe the cross-cultural adaptation of the Caring Ability Inventory (CAI) and its validation in Portuguese. Methods Methodological study developed in two stages, cross-cultural adaptation, analysis of its reliability (reproducibility and internal consistency), and validity (content and construct). The sample comprised 148 informal caregivers of cancer patients and 64 nurses from a public health service. Results In the cross-cultural adaptation of the instrument, a satisfactory content validity was observed. After the pretest, the response scale was changed from seven to five points. The intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.76 and Cronbach’s alpha 0.78. Factorial analysis showed that the instrument items did not remain grouped in the original structure. However, they showed a similar internal consistency. Conclusion The Brazilian Portuguese version of CAI was shown to be reliable and valid, but new researches are needed to study the variations observed in the factorial distribution between the tool dimensions.
