A produção de conhecimento sobre hipertensão gestacional na pós-graduação stricto sensu da enfermagem brasileira

This documental study analyzed the Brazilian production of stricto sensu nursing graduate programs related to gestational hypertension. The data source used was the Brazilian Nursing Association Theses and Dissertations Database. The survey located 14 studies produced between 1979-2008, produced mainly in the Southeast region between 1996 and2008. The analytical process revealed a concern with the subjectivity of pregnant women and with aspects regarding nursing care. Furthermore, it showed that most studies used a qualitative methodology supported by nursing theories. The experience lived by pregnant women with hypertension is marked by negative feelings and socioeconomic problems, and is also affected by how the family is organized. The culture of pregnant women with hypertension is disregarded and they receive care in a context in which the disease is the priority. In conclusion, despite some scientific advancements, this topic has not raised the interest it deserves among nurses attending graduate study programs.This documental study analyzed the Brazilian production of stricto sensu nursing graduate programs related to gestational hypertension.

Um modelo de enfermagem como sistema complexo adaptativo

The emergence and use of complex adaptive systems remedied the need for a new alternative by resorting to existing paradigms. Both the health care system and nursing can be regarded as complex adaptive systems by applying a visual model that should be explored to empower the complexity of the science of nursing and health care. Viewed from this perspective, a nurse is a complex adaptive system, one that is dynamic and interacts, but is also an agent of a complex adaptive system in a nursing unit, which in turn is a complex adaptive system in a health organization. Today, nursing professionals seek to be current in terms of training and skilled in a variety of special fields, ranging from neonatal nursing to geriatric care, in order to do their job and to envision a working environment from the perspective of a complex system. Consequently, through complex systems based on shared knowledge among various professional and teamwork, organization of the health-care system is able to enjoy the support of the client-user-professional chain.
