Objective:To analyze nurses' knowledge and practices regarding pain management of newborns admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Units. Method: A descriptive and crosssectional study. Data were collected from 51 nurses based on an adapted questionnaire aimed at evaluating knowledge and practices regarding the management of neonatal pain in six hospitals in Curitiba and its Metropolitan Region. Results: For most nurses (86.0%), neonates feel pain. A total of 34.7% of the nurses reported never using pain assessment scales. Pain management was recorded by 84.3% of the nurses. Administered pharmacological measures were Paracetamol and Fentanyl (47.1%) and Morphine (17.6%); while non-pharmacological measures adopted were sweetened solution (68.6%), non-nutritive sucking (58.8%) and positioning (56.9%). Conclusion: Nurses considered neonatal pain a real event; however, they do not perform pain assessment or treatment of newborns in a systematized way. It is necessary to implement knowledge translation strategies in order to improve pain management in newborns.
Objective:to determine the frequency of pain, to verify the measures adopted for pain relief during the first seven days of hospitalization in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and to identify the type and frequency of invasive procedures to which newborns are submitted. Method:cross-sectional retrospective study. Out of the 188 hospitalizations occurred during the 12-month period, 171 were included in the study. The data were collected from the charts and the presence of pain was analyzed based on the Neonatal Infant Pain Scale and on nursing notes suggestions of pain. For statistical analysis, the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences was used, and the significance level was set at 5%. Results:there was at least one record of pain in 50.3% of the hospitalizations, according to the pain scale adopted or nursing note. The newborns underwent a mean of 6.6 invasive procedures per day. Only 32.5% of the pain records resulted in the adoption of pharmacological or non-pharmacological intervention for pain relief. Conclusion:newborns are frequently exposed to pain and the low frequency of pharmacological or non-pharmacological interventions reinforces the undertreatment of this condition.

RESUMOA insuficiência cardíaca é responsável por numerosas internações e elevados custos hospitalares. Este estudo descritivo realizado em hospital cardiológico de São Paulo objetivou caracterizar mulheres com insuficiência cardíaca e seu conhecimento sobre doença e identificar diagnósticos e prescrições de enfermagem durante a internação. Os dados foram coletados com 44 mulheres internadas por insuficiência cardíaca. A maioria apresentava ensino fundamental incompleto (26; 59, 1%), menopausa (32; 72,7%) e hipertensão (26; 59, 1%). Das que tinham conhecimento sobre a doença, a maioria das orientações foi realizada por médicos (16; 84,2%) e enfermeiras (13; 68,4%). Os diagnósticos de enfermagem prevalentes foram intolerância à atividade, mobilidade física prejudicada e déficit no autocuidado para banho/higiene. As prescrições de enfermagem relacionavam-se ao cuidado com higiene e alimentação, requerendo mais intervenções relativas a ações educativas para o cuidado à saúde, com ampliação da atuação preventiva.
