Abstract

In another article it introduces work accidents with perforating-cutting instruments among nursing workers in the interior of the State of Sao Paulo, which is to be noted also amongst the nursing auxiliaries.Another study, which tries to reduce vertebrae problems among nursing workers that regularly move and transport patients, describes a tool that evaluates the ergonomic risks of these workers during these procedures.It is also necessary to alert our fellow nurses on hospital costs, the importance and need of nursing to know and develop management studies on this issue, including those that involve the classification of individual needs in nursing care of patients in ICU's.The current issue of REEUSP carries part 2 of the study on the use of paraformaldehyde tablets by health institutions in Brazil and the "sterilization" conditions used in most institutions, which show the lack of well-founded parameters for the reuse of the same set of tablets in procedures.Patients are given an opportunity for expression in the article in which mothers are interviewed on the health care provided to their children in the first and second years of life. We notice here the importance of professional support for the evaluation and monitoring of the child development process. The presence of mothers is repeated in the research that describes the factors perceived by them that facilitate and hinder their stay next to the hospitalized child. The aged with hypertension were also listened to in a piece of research on the means they use to sustain the treatment and care they need adapting to the situation.The population shows its knowledge, which is transmitted from generation to generation, when it describes the use of herbal medicines as already described in the literature.In the last article, the workers of a School of Nursing are heard on their feelings and expectations in the womb cancer prevention test.We accept that which is new, we accept change, we have paths drawn for the dreams that are anchored in reality and we live a process as part of that which is new, old, that transforms the future into the present and the present into the past, as in the words of a popular Brazilian song: "Today is a new day, of a new time that has begun...all our dreams will be truths, the future has begun...".May all the articles of our colleagues be useful. Enjoy your reading.
