[Typology of nursing care according to hospitalized clients: scientific-technical and expressive dimensions]. / Tipologia de cuidados de enfermagem segundo clientes hospitalizados: encontro das dimensões técnico-cientifica e expressiva.

This qualitative-descriptive study was carried out in a university hospital in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from August, 2007 to December, 2008. Nursing care was described and characterized based on the perceptions of 26 hospitalized patients. Data collection was carried out through interviews and the "Almanac" creative and sensitivity technique, followed by thematic content analysis from which the following category emerged: "Nursing care dimensions from the subjects' perspectives scientific-technical and expressive". The results show that these dimensions should be manifested in a coordinated way and integral care should be designed and constructed in the relationship with the other. The participants value and defend an alliance between these dimensions and expect nurses to integrate them into care actions. Knowledge about the patients' perceptions concerning hospital care collaborates to the promotion of the environment and favors its restoration through effective care generated in this relationship.

[The action control scale for diagnosing performance in nursing students]. / Escala do controle da ação para o diagnóstico de desempenho em estudantes de Enfermagem.

Quantitative research aimed to verify the relevance of Action Control Theory for the identification of risk for poor performance in the planning of preventive care for pressure ulcers. The action - state orientation deals with individual differences and the ability to regulate emotions, cognitions and attitudes to complete the intentional actions. The instruments used were the Student Assessment Instrument and HAKEMP 90, derived from this theory, in 46 undergraduate nursing students. The analysis showed high sensitivity (0.84) for the diagnosis of risk for poor performance and high specificity (0.90) for detecting the absence of risk in the care planning. The results suggest the HAKEMP 90 as a diagnostic tool for identifying essential elements of nursing education as active learning, regulation of cognitive processes and relevance of basic nursing care in hospital.

[Complementary health practices and challenges of its applicability in hospital: nurses' point of view]. / Práticas complementares de saúde e os desafios de sua aplicabilidade no hospital: visão de enfermeiros.

This is a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory research, aiming to describe the set of ideas and knowledge that guide the use of complementary and integrative health practices (CIHP) by nurses, and analyze the challenges facing the applicability of these therapies by nurses in the hospital setting. The subjects were nurses in public hospital institutions of Rio de Janeiro. Data collection was done through semi-structured interviews and a technique of creativity and sensibility called Almanac. The results showed that the hegemony of the biomedical model in the formation and performance of health professionals hinders implementation of CIHP in hospital. However, as this model does not account for the complexity of the human being emerges the possibility of sharing with CIHP in care aiming, therefore, at comprehensiveness of the human being.

[Shared Care Plan: convergence between the educational problematizing perspective and the theory of nursing cultural care]. / Plano de Cuidados Compartilhado: convergência da proposta educativa problematizadora com a teoria do cuidado cultural de enfermagem.

This report is a reflection that marks a change of perspective in the care relation between nurse and client, in the implementation context of the educative process. It emerged a Shared Care Plan as an educational-caring proposal, in the convergence among theorists Paulo Freire and Leininger, regarding the dialogical pedagogy and nursing cultural care. With regard to the elements considered essential to the care, learning together allows the unveiling of a peculiar reality of possibilities for integration and transformation of the reality revealed, by choice of the person. Autonomy planned becomes real, so that customers no longer carry fragmented practices, stemming from traditional pedagogy. The stand-alone client reaches, then, the fullness of the action.
