Objective: To analyze the view of nurses from the Family Health Strategy on the health care of rural populations. Method: A qualitative and exploratory research conducted with eleven nurses working in rural areas, conducted from January to March 2017, in Campina Grande-PB. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed by the Content Analysis technique. Results: Nurses associate the health context of the rural population with the living conditions of the community, with the lack of access to health services, and with the peculiarities of work resulting from this context. The satisfaction of rural PHC nurses is associated with professional identification and bond with the population. Conclusions: Nurses perceive the particularities that involve the rural context requiring differentiated health care that positively impacts their work.
Objective: To describe and analyze the relationships between adherence to tuberculosis treatment and health technologies in the context of nursing action in Primary Care. Method: Contextual reflection, using the theoretical reference of Hinds, Chaves and Cypress. Results: They were categorized according to the conceptual perspective of each context, in an immediate, specific, general and metacontext, respectively: nursing actions in Primary Care and adherence to treatment of tuberculosis; nurses' performance through personal and environmental factors, health technologies and adherence to treatment; influence of nurses' beliefs about adherence to treatment and overall health status, and use of health technologies and shared views of patients and nurses on adherence to treatment as a responsibility for preventive action. Conclusion and Implications for practice: Adherence to the treatment of tuberculosis is directly linked to the substantial performance of the nurse, which presents potentialities to contribute to greater articulation between actions necessary to the success of the treatment, reducing the weaknesses in its operationalization. The technologies in the context of nursing action can favor praxis, especially in the incentive to join, and can subsidize new strategies appropriate to the reality of services.
Objective: to analyze the daily work of rural Family Health Strategy (FHS) nurses. Method: a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory research. The data were collected with eleven rural nurses of the city of Campina Grande, Paraíba State, through semistructured interviews, between January and March of 2017, using Content Analysis. Results: rural nurses have a strong relationship with the population. However, they reveal a daily work with various organizational barriers that range from the team displacement to the workplace to the operationalization of health actions, which are mediated by the characteristics of rurality. Some of these barriers can be remedied by a more proactive action from the management. Final considerations: conditioned by the characteristics of rurality, the differentiated dynamics work reveal weaknesses in the quality of nursing care and lower effectiveness of the FHS. RESUMOObjetivo: analisar o cotidiano de trabalho de enfermeiros da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) que atuam em áreas rurais. Método: pesquisa qualitativa, descritiva-exploratória. Os dados foram coletados com onze enfermeiros da área rural do município de Campina Grande-PB, por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas, entre janeiro e março de 2017, com análise a partir da técnica de Análise de Conteúdo. Resultados: os enfermeiros das áreas rurais têm relação de vínculo intensa com a população, no entanto, revelam um cotidiano de trabalho com várias barreiras organizacionais que vão desde o deslocamento da equipe ao local de trabalho à operacionalização das ações de saúde, sendo essas mediadas pelas características da ruralidade. Algumas dessas barreiras podem ser sanadas pela ação mais propositiva da gestão. Considerações finais: a dinâmica de trabalho diferenciada, condicionada pelas características próprias da ruralidade, revelam fragilidades na qualidade da assistência de enfermagem e menor efetividade da ESF.

Introduction:The health workforce is crucial to reduce inequalities in health and health care in rural areas, and nurses, although there are few professionals and these are poorly distributed compared to other professionals. There are few studies addressing nurses' work in the rural context. This study aimed to investigate the satisfaction and difficulties of the work of primary health care (PHC) nurses in rural areas.Method: This is a case study with a qualitative approach, whose subject was the health units in the rural area of a large city in the state of Paraíba, Brazil, with Family Health Strategy teams. Eleven nurses working in rural areas participated in the study. Data were collected through interviews with semi-structured scripts and submitted to content analysis. Results:The study revealed that nurses working in rural areas have experienced job satisfaction with the recognition and gratitude of families, one of the major motivations for professionals interviewed. The nurses are committed and have adequate training in their area of activity. The working conditions, infrastructure, forms of access to the workplace and distance from the decision center are factors that stand out as difficulties of work. Conclusions: The nurses appreciate each other in their work, establish good relations with the population and work as a team despite the difficulties. The study reveals that nurses and the population experience isolation in the rural area as well as difficulty in accessing the workplace, in the case of practitioners, and in consolidating policies maintained in the urban area. It evidences the nurse as an essential element for PHC in the rural setting, which can make the difference in the care of populations often in the sideline of health services.
Objectives: to analyze the normative bases that guide the nurse technician’s practice, clarifying how the performance of this category happens. Methods: this is a qualitative study of exploratory and descriptive nature and of documentary type, held on the basis of the resolutions of the Brazilian Federal Nursing Council (Cofen). From a total of 364 resolutions published from 1975 to 2018, 15 accounted for the objective of the study and were therefore selected. Results: this study systematized two analytical categories: areas of practice of the nurse technician, according to Cofen resolutions; and description of the professional’s activities based on the resolutions. Final Considerations: the analysis of the normative bases that guide the nurse technician’s practice leads to the conclusion of a possible frailty of theoretical and normative content to justify the practice of these professionals.
