RESUMO Objetivo: analisar as disciplinas de Enfermagem Psiquiátrica e Saúde Mental nas estruturas curriculares dos cursos de graduação em enfermagem brasileiros. Método: estudo exploratório de análise documental, cujos dados foram coletados nos websites das instituições que possuíam cadastro no site do Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira, através de instrumento elaborado para esse estudo, com informações relacionadas à instituição, disciplinas oferecidas na área, localização da(s) disciplina(s) no currículo e carga horária. Os dados obtidos foram lançados no Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 2.0 para realização da estatística descritiva. Resultados: dos 738 cursos cadastrados, 88,8% são oferecidos por instituições privadas, 72% das instituições pesquisadas disponibilizavam matriz curricular do curso on-line, dentre essas, 47,2% apresentavam ao menos uma disciplina na área, com média de 96 horas nas instituições privadas e 142 horas nas públicas, perfazendo 2,4% e 3,5% da carga horária total do curso, respectivamente. Conclusão: verificou-se a predominância de instituições privadas ofertando graduação em enfermagem e que há cursos que não oferece disciplina relacionada à Enfermagem Psiquiátrica e Saúde Mental. Notou-se também que não houve uma padronização de nomenclatura e do período para oferecimento dessa disciplina. Sugere-se pesquisas na área sobre o modo de como são ministrados os conteúdos teóricos e prático dessa disciplina.

Background The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of specific neuromodulation treatments performed with radio electric asymmetric conveyer (REAC) technology in the treatment of the symptomatic triad depression, anxiety, and stress by the use of a specific psychometric test such as the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-42 items (DASS-42) version, which assesses simultaneously the severity of expression of this triad. Patients and methods The design of this study was planned to compare two populations that performed DASS-42 test twice within a similar period of time. The first population performed the first DASS test before the treatment and the second test about 3 months later, at the end of two specific REAC neuromodulation treatments, neuropostural optimization (NPO) and neuropsychophysical optimization (NPPO), that have previously shown an efficacy in the treatment of depression, anxiety and stress. The second population (untreated), used as the randomized control group, consisted of a similar group by gender and age, who performed the DASS-42 test in an online platform twice, with an interval of about 3 months between the first and second tests, similar to the interval between the two tests in the treated group. Results The comparison between the treated group and the control group points out the REAC treatment efficacy in improving the quality of life. At the second DASS-42 test, self-administered about 3 months after the treatments, treated patients were positioned on average values of much milder severity in all the three clusters, depression, anxiety, and stress, while in untreated patients there was no significant difference between the mean values of the first and second DASS tests. Conclusion The results obtained in this study, evaluated with the DASS-42 test, confirm that REAC-NPO and REAC-NPPO neuromodulation treatments can be useful tools for the clinical treatment of depression, anxiety, and stress, as already proven by previous results evaluated with different psychometric tests.

666 RESUMO ABSTRACTThis was a qualitative exploratory study aiming to better understand the perceptions of student nurses regarding care of the chemically dependent. Semistructured interviews were conducted between 2007 and 2009 with 17 nursing students from a public university in the city of São Paulo who were training in specialized services for abusers of alcohol and drugs. The content analysis technique was used, and the discourse evaluation revealed that care for the chemically dependent was considered interesting but difficult and exhausting. A positive outcome noted by the students was that the discussion of theory and experience enabled them to change their perceptions of the issue from a moral model base to a more technical, scientific and ethical one. It was concluded that this teaching strategy can contribute to changing the perceptions of nurses toward these patients.

Como puntos posi vos, los estudiantes señalaron la discusión sobre la teoría y la experiencia, lo que posibilitó la transformación de las concepciones vinculadas a un modelo moral para otras, pautadas sobre modelos técnicos, cien fi cos y é cos. Se concluyó en que dicha estrategia de enseñanza puede contribuir al cambio de las percepciones de los enfermeros frente a tales pacientes.
