Objectives: A study was carried out, by means of a questionnaire for guided interviews seeking to establish a profile of perceptions and oral care given by ICU nursing team to patients in intensive care units. Methods: The target population consisted of nursing practitioners divided in three education categories: nurses, nursing technicians and auxiliary nurses working at public and private hospital institutions providing for intensive care unit patients in Belem-PA. Dentistry experience has developed in this field reporting scientific findings and practical applications on prevention and reestablishment of the oral health in question. Results: This survey disclosed results suggesting that oral hygiene care given to intensive care units patients is insufficient and inadequate requiring changes be made in the care now provided in the nosocomial environment by the nursing team. Conclusion: Presence of a dentist, knowledge of preventive dentistry, dissemination and use of oral hygiene specific resources are means suggested in an attempt to resolve difficulties found in oral health maintenance and treatment of oral diseases that affect the general health of hospitalized individuals. Interdisciplinary action for these individuals is advocated to achieve a better quality of life by preventing or minimizing oral pathologies.

In this article we analyze the main aspects that contribute to increase the workloads of nurse technicians working in primary health care in Brazil, we identify the type of loads and rank the most prevalent aspects of this occupational group. It is based on a multicenter study with 24 professionals from the South, Center-west and North regions of Brazil, from 2011 to 2013, using data from semi-structured interviews. The data were systematized in Atlas.ti software and submitted to thematic analysis. The aspects that contribute to increasing workloads are low monthly remuneration, lack of material resources, work overload, wear and illness, relationship with the user, and lack of human resources, prevailing psychological and physiological loads. Adequacy of the conditions and organization of work are shown paramount to ease the workload on the primary health care setting, and to promote the health, wellbeing and quality of life in the nurse technicians working environment.

This study aimed to describe and analyze how violence affects the working process of nurses in the Family Health Program. It consists of an exploratory-descriptive study developed in a district in the suburb of Belém, Pará, Brazil. Data were collected between August 2009 and February 2010, by means of interviews with 14 nurses, and then submitted to the method of content analysis, generating one of the themes of this study: 'Challenging violence', with derivative sub-topics such as territorial violence, institutional violence and intrafamilial violence. The result showed the impact of the violence phenomenon on the working process of the nurses of the Family Health Program units. This violence induces them to feel fear and professional frustration due to embarrassment and limitation of their roles, although they still challenge the obstacles encountered in their daily work.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-03-28) PIRES, Denise Elvira Pires de; MACHADO, Rosani Ramos; SORATTO, Jacks; SCHERER, Magda Duarte dos Anjos; GONÇALVES, Ana Sofia Resque; TRINDADE, Letícia de Lima
Objective: to identify the workloads of nursing professionals of the Family Health Strategy, considering its implications for the effectiveness of universal access. Method: qualitative study with nursing professionals of the Family Health Strategy of the South, Central West and North regions of Brazil, using methodological triangulation. For the analysis, resources of the Atlas.ti software and Thematic Content Analysis were associated; and the data were interpreted based on the labor process and workloads as theorical approaches. Results: the way of working in the Family Health Strategy has predominantly resulted in an increase in the workloads of the nursing professionals, with emphasis on the work overload, excess of demand, problems in the physical infrastructure of the units and failures in the care network, which hinders its effectiveness as a preferred strategy to achieve universal access to health. On the other hand, teamwork, affinity for the work performed, bond with the user, and effectiveness of the assistance contributed to reduce their workloads. Conclusions: investments on elements that reduce the nursing workloads, such as changes in working conditions and management, can contribute to the effectiveness of the Family Health Strategy and achieving the goal of universal access to health.
