Publicações de enfermeiros sobre álcool e alcoolismo em anais do Congresso Brasileiro de Enfermagem

Abstract

This is an exploratory study, of bibliographical type, which aimed to verify and characterize the literary production of nurses on the topic of alcoholism published in the Annals of the Brazilian Nursing Congress, published in the period of 1998-2008. The sample consisted of 99 abstracts that were directly related to the topic. The data were categorized according to the assumptions of content analysis and resulted in seven categories of analysis. It was evident that there was an increase in the production on the subject over the period of 1998-2008, and that the alcoholic patient care was the theme most researched by nurses. It was concluded that, despite the increase in production on the subject, it is still in its infancy, suggesting that other studies of this nature are needed in order to map the production of nursing published in the scientific events in the area.
