Percepções culturais de acadêmicos e enfermeiros sobre a sistematização da assistência de enfermagem

Aim: to identify the perceptions of students and nurses on the nursing care systematization in relation to teaching and applicability. Method: study design and descriptive survey, focusing on subjective from the cultural perspective aspects. We interviewed 28 nursing students and 20 nurses. The reports were analyzed according to deductive thematic analysis. Results: the following thematic units were obtained: “The NCS as a tool for quality care”, “The teaching of NCS and the care provided” and “The applicability of NCS”. Conclusions: the teaching and application of NCS in the context studied, yet fail to produce desired results, such as improvement in scaling nursing and unity among the team, which would facilitate the implementation of NCS in the clinic. The effective participation of teachers with theoretical and working knowledge facilitates the construction and application of the nursing process.

Perceptions of donors and recipients regarding blood donation

Objective The aim of this study was to identify the perceptions of blood donors and recipients regarding the act of donating blood. Method This descriptive study with a survey design focuses on subjective and cultural aspects. Twenty donors and 20 recipients in the blood bank at the time of data collection participated in the study. Interviews were analyzed according to deductive thematic analysis. Results Two themes emerged – perceptions of donors and perceptions of recipients. Both groups saw the act of donating blood as something positive, though donors associated their reports with the experiences of people close to them who needed blood transfusions, while the recipients associated donations with the maintenance of their lives as, for them, a blood transfusion was a necessary medical treatment. Conclusions Perceptions regarding blood donations are culturally constructed, as the participants associated knowledge acquired in the social world with moral issues and their life experiences. Hence, in addition to helping others, these individuals feel socially and morally rewarded.
