This present study evaluated nursing education based on problem-solving and learning based on problems originating from alumni's perceptions. This is an ex-post-facto cross-sectional study. Results were analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative approaches triangulation and through dialectical hermeneutics. In the quantitative approach 180 alumni answered a questionnaire. The qualitative approach involved 14 interviews that searched for meanings related to the notion of ideal care, in order to build indicators that would reveal this evaluation logic. These indicators guided the choice of triangulation questions. Results demonstrated that 85.1% of alumni are working in the nursing market, 92.1% have taken a post-graduate course and 99.1% believe they have the education required to deliver ethical, humanized and founded care. Data analysis demonstrates a compromised education as autonomy and knowledge are being built, and articulated to the Single Health System and the world nursing principles. DESCRIPTORS:Evaluation. Nursing care. Comprehensiveness. PERCEPÇÃO DO EGRESSO DE ENFERMAGEM SOBRE A CONTRIBUIÇÃO DO CURSO PARA O EXERCÍCIO DO CUIDADORESUMO: O estudo avaliou a formação em enfermagem ancorada na problematização e na aprendizagem baseada em problemas a partir da percepção dos egressos. Trata-se de estudo transversal de natureza ex-post-facto. Os resultados foram analisados na triangulação das abordagens quantitativa e qualitativa e na perspectiva hermenêutica dialética. Na abordagem quantitativa 180 egressos responderam um questionário. Na qualitativa, 14 participaram das entrevistas, que buscaram sentidos relacionados ao cuidado ideal, para construção dos indicadores que revelassem a lógica da avaliação. Esses indicadores nortearam a escolha das questões para triangulação. Os resultados apontaram que 85,1% dos egressos estão inseridos no mercado de trabalho, 92,1% cursaram pós-graduação e 99,1% acreditam apresentar formação necessária ao cuidado ético, humanizado e fundamentado. A análise dos dados aponta para formação comprometida com a construção da autonomia e do conhecimento, bem como articulada aos princípios do Sistema Único de Saúde e do mundo do trabalho em enfermagem.

The relaxant response to acetylcholine (ACh) an endothelium dependent vasodilator agent and sodium nitroprusside (SNP), an endothelium independent vasodilator agent, of precontracted isolated aortae and mesenteric arterioles in vivo-in situ were studied in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive Wistar rats treated with hydralazine in acute (24 h) and chronic (15 d) administration. The impaired responses to ACh observed in SHR vessels were restored by chronic but not by acute treatment, whereas the SNP-induced responses were not affected. It is suggested that: 1) The acute decrease of blood pressure level per se is not sufficient to restore the impaired response to ACh; 2) The alteration of vascular response is not an irreversible phenomenon; 3) Hydralazine did not interfere with the relaxant responses to SNP.

Este estudio tuvo como objetivos identificar la ocurrencia de accidentes de trabajo causados por material cortopunzante entre trabajadores de enfermería y la conducta adoptada por los hospitales frente al accidente. Investigación descriptiva realizada a través del levantamiento de los accidentes de trabajo notificados durante el año de 1999 en cuatro hospitales de la región del Nordeste del Estado de São Paulo-Brasil. Los datos fueron recolectados a través del análisis documental. Fueron notificados en el periodo estudiado 117 accidentes, de los cuales 53 fueron ocasionados por material corto-punzante. Los ayudantes de enfermería fueron los que más se accidentaron (8,9%), seguidos por los técnicos (2,8%), auxiliares (2,7%) y enfermeros (2,5%). La mayoría de los accidentes ocurren con profesionales con experiencia y con tiempo de servicio mayor de un año, en mujeres, casadas o en unión libre, con edad inferior a 40 años. La mayoría de las ocurrencias de los accidentes fue en el turno de la mañana, causado por agujas o bisturíes (84,9%), provocando lesiones en los dedos (77,3%). Las conductas tomadas por los hospitales demostraron falta de orientación y desconocimiento por la conducta adecuada a ser seguida.

ABSTRACT ABSTRACT ABSTRACT ABSTRACT ABSTRACTThis study aimed at identifying the occurrence of occupational accidents caused by cutting and piercing materials among nursing workers and the conduct adopted by hospitals with respect to accidents. It is a descriptive research carried out by evaluating occupational accidents legally notified in four hospitals in the Northeastern region of São Paulo State in 1999. Data were collected through documental observation. During the studied period, 117 accidents were reported, of which 53 had been caused by cutting and piercing materials. Nursing aids comprised the most frequently affected staff (8.9%¨), followed by technicians (2.8%), auxiliaries (2.7%) and nurses (2.5%). Most of the accidents took place among professionals that had been working for longer than a year and who were females, married or living in concubinage, younger than 40 years old, during the morning shift and were caused by needles and scalpels (84.9%), producing lesions in the fingers (77.3%). The conducts adopted by the hospitals showed lack of guidance and knowledge concerning the adequate procedure to be followed.
