[A social poetic of the self-care: nursing students behavior aiming the promotion of health]. / Uma sociopoética do autocuidado: comportamento de estudantes de enfermagem visando a promoção da saúde.

Based on the principle that the undergraduating nursing students are future professionals of caregiving, this study aims at analyzing their understanding in relation to the care with themselves, as well as at identifying the care that they have or would like to have with their own body. To promote an effective participation of the eleven subjects, this study was based on the social and poetic method, making a research-team. Considering the self-care from the Body Dynamics as Minimum Territory, the nursing students showed analytics categories as: The self-care conscience; The wish for caregiving to spiritual, intellectual and physical body, which in the classificatory study was named "Disregard versus wish for self-care". Thus, we think that it is fundamental for nursing professionals, as well as for nursing students, to consider the self-care thematic, since the engagement with their own health is essential for the well-being and best quality of life.

[Adaptation to the Portuguese language and validation of the Lunney Scoring Method for Rating Accuracy of Nursing Diagnoses]. / Adaptação para a língua Portuguesa e validação do Lunney Scoring Method for Rating Accuracy of Nursing Diagnoses.

The Lunney Scoring Method for Rating Accuracy of Nursing Diagnoses (LSM) is a semantic differential scale developed by Lunney to rate the accuracy of nursing diagnoses. The objective of this study was to adapt the LSM to the Portuguese language and to estimate its psychometric properties. The original scale was translated into Portuguese, back-translated into English, and the English versions were compared in order to adjust the Portuguese one (Escala de Acurácia de Diagnóstico de Enfermagem de Lunney--EADE). Four nurses were trained on the EADE and applied it on 159 diagnoses made for 26 patients of three primary studies, based on the records of patients' interviews and physical examinations. Cohen's Kappa estimates produced unacceptable inter-observer agreement rates, showing that the adapted tool has not acceptable reliability. Because of this result, validity tests were not conducted.
