The expansion of the pharmaceutical market in the 20th century led to important changes in the consumption of medications worldwide. The objective of the current study was to analyze acute intentional and accidental poisoning with medications according to factors related to the individual, the poisoning, and the drug involved. This was a cross-sectional study that collected secondary data on all cases of acute poisoning with medications reported from 2003 to 2004 by the Poison Control Center at the Regional University Hospital in Maringá, Paraná State, Brazil. We studied a total of 546 cases of acute poisoning with medications. Females predominated among intentional cases (79.8%), and the 0-9-year age bracket was the most common among accidental cases (51.9%). The most frequently involved drugs were those acting on the central nervous system (57.2%), predominantly those requiring controlled prescriptions, especially among the intentional cases (66.2%). The results demonstrate the characteristics of acute poisoning from medications in Maringá, confirming the need for preventive measures that contribute to the rational use of medications.

RESUmo Original article AbStRActThe objective of this study is to identify the care practices of rural families who care for a person with cancer. This qualitative study used the Urie Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory as the theoretical and methodological framework. The participants were three families from a rural area who had a relative undergoing chemotherapy at an oncology service of a teaching hospital in southern Brazil. Data collection was performed between February and July of 2009. It was found that the care provided by the rural families is developed based on the family interactions across generations, and also on other community practices. The affection, love, protection, family unity, faith, togetherness and diet concerns describe the care and comprise the care practices of rural families who provide care to the person with cancer.
