Análise histórica do Jornal da ABEn: mudanças e transformações no Século XXI

Abstract

Trata-se de um estudo descritivo-exploratório e interpretativo, apresentando criticamente as matérias de 19 exemplares do "Jornal ABEn", editados no primeiro lustro do século XXI, sob a ótica do aluno de graduação em Enfermagem. O estudo objetivou identificar, quantificar e analisar criticamente o conteúdo das publicações deste periódico, que veicula, desde 1958, informações de interesse geral e de caráter político, norteando os rumos da Enfermagem. A análise dos dados permitiu observar que esse periódico deu um relevante salto de qualidade a partir de meados 2002, e que a autoria prevalente das matérias é de membros da diretoria da ABEn Nacional, enquanto que as temáticas predominantes são as de políticas de saúde e de ensino superior de Enfermagem.

Importância das organizações civis de enfermagem: revisão integrativa da literatura

“…As for the journal of publication, most were linked to civil organizations such as REBEn in Brazil and U.S. journals such as OJIN of the American Nurses Association (ANA). It seems reasonable to assert that these organizations have used their publication vehicles to ensure nursing communities a space for discussion about issues that affect them, and subsequently publish studies on social, political, and historical phenomena and their effect on work in nursing (9)(10)(11)(12) . In this sense, this can be a powerful strategy to strengthen the commitment of members associated with organizations and the profession, uniting collaborative efforts for the achievement of common goals and dissemination of issues of interest to nursing students and professionals (9)(10)(11)(12) .…”

“…In the Brazilian context, REBEn and the Jornal da ABEn deserve mention as ABEn's official publications (9,(11)(12)(13) . REBEn was created by the Association in 1932 with the title Annaes de Enfermagem, as a scientific journal whose founding was directly linked to Edith de Magalhães Fraenkel and Rachel Haddock Lobo, respectively president of the organization and director of the Ana Nery School of Nursing at the time (9,11,13) .…”

“…The Jornal da ABEn was established in 1958 under the title Boletim Informativo, with the mission "to keep members aware of the most significant news about the profession" (12) . Starting with Volume 45 in 2003, the journal adopted its current name, and not only currently consists of a news bulletin, but contributes to the political and ideological development of its readers (12) .…”

“…In this sense, it seems that the selected studies bring with them a concern to make public the contributions of civil nursing organizations in Brazil and abroad. To this end, the associations adopted their own publication vehicles, giving evidence that they (the organizations) have been making collective efforts, including working together with other institutions within and outside the profession, to overcome the problems that affect it, as well as to build relevant achievements for the profession and society in general (9)(10)(11)(12)20) .…”

“…As for the conclusions of the studies included in the present review, the evidence is that civil nursing organizations contribute to the development of the profession in its various areas of work (9)(10)(11)20) , in which professional training and care for human beings are the most discussed (15)(16)(17)(18)(21)(22)(23)(24) . In regard to professional practice and political participation in social movements, the need to strengthen and integrate such organizations is highlighted, along with the importance of participation of the working class in these associations (9)(10)(11)(12)19,20) .…”
