The aims of this descriptive study were to determine the academic profile of nurses in a university hospital, assess their level of knowledge about magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and verify whether this knowledge was acquired during their undergraduate or graduate education. Ninety randomly selected nurses working in inpatient wards and outpatient units of a university hospital participated in the study. Data were collected through a questionnaire completed by the participants between August and October 2009. Most nurses were females who have received specialized education. The participants had a limited knowledge about MRI, which was restricted to the procedures to prepare patients for MRI examination and MRI contraindications. Most of the nurses acquired information about MRI during the professional practice. The majority of nurses showed interest to know more about the MRI examination, especially regarding the exam environment, conditions and contraindications, in order to prevent accidents.
Este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar uma análise discursiva, utilizando uma obra literária que traz temas extremamente atuais tais como o preconceito social e homofóbico. Trabalharemos em especial com os personagens Amaro (Bom-crioulo), Aleixo e D. Carolina, da obra Bom-Crioulo, produzida em 1895 por Adolfo Caminha, um dos principais autores brasileiros do Estilo Naturalista. Especificamente, evidenciaremos os discursos, as relações de poder e a subjetividade dos sujeitos representados pelos protagonistas. Tal abordagem tem como fundamentação teórica conceitos de Michel Pêcheux e, principalmente, de Michel Foucault acerca do discurso e do sujeito. Tentaremos mostrar como estes conceitos se relacionam e moldam a sociedade, como os sujeitos que fazem parte de uma determinada época da sociedade são construídos pelas práticas discursivas e pelo exercício das relações de poder, pois eles são sujeitos criados, fabricados, construídos pelas práticas discursivas, pelos poderes constituídos, transformando-se em sujeitos “úteis” à sociedade.
