Newly undergraduate nurses and intensive care in units of non-critical patients

Abstract

Objective: To identify the social representations of newly undergraduate nurses on the intensive care of Nursing to critical patients hospitalized in non-critical patient units. Method: Qualitative and descriptive research. Twenty-six newly undergraduate nurses from a private university participated. An in-depth interview was conducted with semi-structured script. The analysis was of lexical type with the help of Alceste 2012 software. Results: The social representations were built according to the image of the intensive care unit, although patients were out of this environment. Care is understood as complex and specialized, requiring graduate training. Therefore, undergraduation training was considered insufficient to provide this type of care, creating fear and insecurity in the newly undergraduate nurses. Final considerations: Intensive care confronts newly undergraduate nurses with feelings of unpreparedness to care for, but it mobilizes to broaden the knowledge to provide care. There is evidence of a theory-practice dichotomy and weaknesses in teaching-learning experiences in undergraduate education.

Social representation of reproductive biotechnologies among nurses working in sexual and reproductive health

“…Data analysis occurred after the corpus was processed in Analyze Lexicale par Contexte d'un Ensemble de Segments de Texte (ALCESTE ® ) software, version 2012, whose objective was to highlight the word classes that gave rationality to subjects' statements about the research topic of interest (15) . From the textual organization, there were successive divisions of the material observed through Descending Hierarchical Classification (DHC), which made it possible to identify the most evident oppositions between the words of the text and create conditions to extract the representative classes of each group of belonging.…”

O exercício de advocacy no âmbito da enfermagem: uma análise filosófica gadameriana

“…A percepção do não reconhecimento da formação acadêmica com base no agir ético na defesa dos direitos do paciente emerge percepções de distanciamento entre a formação e a prática. Tal posicionamento é compreensível, ao observar o exercício de advocacy como uma ação moral ligada à prática profissional, ou seja, a situação concreta 15,16 . As situações práticas vivenciadas no exercício profissional exigem um posicionamento ético, que pode gerar medo e insegurança em enfermeiros com pouco tempo de formação 17 .…”
