Dimensões da violência contra crianças e adolescentes, apreendidas do discurso de professoras e cuidadoras

The aim of this descriptive exploratory study based on a qualitative approach was to investigate the perception of caretakers of an Infantile Education Institution and of teachers of a Primary School regarding the concept of violence, as well as the conduct adopted by them in relation to violent situations against children and adolescents. The data were collected in August of 2004 through a semi-structured interview, which was recorded and subsequently transcribed. The ethical precepts of the Resolution 196/96 were followed. It was verified that the informants recognize physical and psychological violence in the interaction between family and children, as well as between children themselves, referring to negligence as a form of violence. As for the performance of the caretakers and teachers, a naturalization of violence was noticed. The study offers subsidies for nursing performance in relation to situations of violence against children and adolescents in educational institutions and presents the Nursing Consultation as a methodological instrument capable of subsidizing the conducts to be adopted.Neste estudo exploratorio-descritivo, com abordagem qualitativa, objetivou-se investigar a percepcao de cuidadoras de uma Instituicao de Educacao Infantil e professoras de uma Escola de Ensino Fundamental acerca do conceito de violencia, bem como a conduta por elas adotada, frente a situacoes de violencia contra criancas e adolescentes.

Dental health: a challenge for the health professionals

Esta investigacion tuvo como objetivo desvelar el conocimiento que los enfermeros y medicos diplomados por los cursos de Enfermeria y Medicina de una Universidad de Rio Grande do Sul tienen sobre la promocion de la Salud de la boca. Participaron del estudio 58 academicos, 26 del curso de Enfermeria y 32 del Curso de Medicina, quienes contestaron un cuestionario con tres preguntas semiestructuradas. A traves de la triangulacion se puede constatar que el conocimiento entre los graduados es deficitario. Sabemos que es muy grande la dificultad de acceso de la poblacion infantil mas necesitada a los consultorios dentales. Por esa razon, nos parece indispensable que los profesionales de Enfermeria y Medicina conozcan ese campo y sean conscientes para ayudar a promover la salud dentaria de los ninos.The objective of this study is to reveal the knowledge of nursing and medicine students from a university in Rio Grande do Sul regarding the importance of promoting dental health.

Through the method of triangulation it was concluded that these students had deficient knowledge regarding dental health. Since a small number of the population in Brazil has access to dental clinics, we consider important that nursing and medicine professionals know how to promote dental care among children.
