“…16 Many conflicts experienced by nursing result from the predominance of the biomedical model, in which the professional is unable to exercise his/her profession autonomously, being subordinated to the orders/approvals that doctors impose. 17 The precariousness of the nursing labor market was recorded in a cross-sectional study carried out between 2005 and 2018 in 32 states of Mexico, which has increased as a consequence also of major labor reforms, affecting nursing professionals, mostly salaried. In that country, there was an increase of 8.6% in admissions of nurses without a contract, 53.4% with low salaries and another part of this population is working underemployed.…”

Resumo Objetivo caracterizar os desafios vivenciados pela Enfermagem nos países africanos de língua portuguesa e discutir as potencialidades da cooperação internacional neste contexto. Método estudo qualitativo, descritivo. Dados obtidos por meio de entrevista semiestruturada com enfermeiros de países africanos de língua portuguesa e categorizados por análise de conteúdo. Resultados participaram nove enfermeiros, provenientes dos seguintes países: Angola, Cabo Verde, Guiné-Bissau, Moçambique e São Tomé e Príncipe. Foram desenvolvidas duas categorias: a primeira retrata as dificuldades da Enfermagem de países africanos de língua portuguesa acerca da autonomia e valorização necessárias ao desenvolvimento e exercício de suas competências. A segunda categoria evidenciou possibilidades de conexões a partir de redes para integração e fortalecimento da Enfermagem, em cooperação internacional. Conclusão e implicações para a prática o estudo caracterizou como principais dificuldades aquelas relacionadas a processos de trabalho, falta de autonomia, de estrutura humana e física. Nessa perspectiva, a cooperação internacional representou importante estratégia para o fortalecimento da formação dos enfermeiros de países africanos de língua portuguesa, assim como para lidarem com os expressivos desafios que se apresentam em sua prática cotidiana.

“…It is considered that autonomy is a fundamental factor for the development of professional work, especially in the health area, in which the work, carried out by a multidisciplinary team, is both shared and complementary. 8,26 In this sense, the appropriation of Nursing knowledge in the care of burn patients enables a more autonomous practice, leading to empowerment of the professionals. The scientific literature evidences that the empowerment of nurses reflects on satisfactory results in their practices.…”

Objective: to analyze the perception of nurses regarding an educational intervention with innovative pedagogical methods on acute management of burns. Method: a qualitative and exploratory study based on Paulo Freire's sociocultural pedagogical approach. The educational intervention was carried out with 18 nurses who worked in the areas of urgency and emergency. The intervention was centered on active teaching-learning methodologies, in which the main teaching methods were case-based learning, conceptual maps, simulation training, and digital portfolio. Data was collected in November 2017 and October 2018, in the setting of a state public university, by means of a sociodemographic questionnaire, records produced from focus groups, field diaries and portfolios, which were analyzed based on data triangulation, using Bardin's content analysis technique. Results: four categories were identified: collaborative construction of knowledge based on autonomy and dialog between the students; learning with dynamism and joy; from problematizing reality to critical thinking; and education that leads to professional empowerment and confidence. Conclusion: the nurses perceived the educational intervention as positive, since the innovative and participatory teaching methods adopted contributed to the development of competences and skills, ensuring more critical thinking, autonomy and empowerment for these professionals. The study represents an advance in the scope of Nursing education and in the orientation of continuing education actions.

“…In the biomedical model, the technical decisions regarding the treatment of patients are made based on the medical diagnosis, which implies limitations in the professional autonomy of nursing, as their actions will be built according to the physician's decision, so that their diagnostic practices and drug prescription make medical professionals sovereign, in the face of common sense, which helps to portray Medicine with absolute and crucial prominence. 15 This fact is directly related to the economic and social valorization of Medicine. 15 However, this situation limits the feasibility of growing professional autonomy in Nursing; after all, its importance is still suppressed before that of the medical professional which, consequently, is related to the mass valorization of these professionals in the media.…”

Objective: to analyze how nursing is represented by the series that portray the context of clinical health care. v Method: a descriptive, exploratory study carried out in a public Higher Education Institution. Data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews with nursing students. Data analysis was performed through content analysis, supported by IRAMUTEQ version 0.7 and Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 22.0 software. Results: the analysis of the data allowed for the identification of two categories directly related to the role of nursing and to the power relations between the characters. Yet, although television series are common among nursing students, they have not influenced them in choosing the course. However, the positive perception on the part of some interviewees was related to admiration for the field of human health, but not with the nursing characters represented in the television shows. Conclusion: nursing in health series is not perceived as a leading category in its responsibilities in the care process, but only as an auxiliary group. It is noticed that the media reproduces the biomedical model, emphasizing the medical professional as the central character in clinical care.
