This article aims to characterize the work process of the prison health team in the state of Paraíba. This is an exploratory research, with a qualitative approach, carried out with two Prison Primary Care Teams in the state of Paraíba. Individual interviews were carried out with health professionals in order to elucidate the work process developed. The corpus consisted of 10 texts and was analyzed using the software Interface de R pour les Analyzes Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires (Iramuteq) and exposed through the Descending Hierarchical Classification (CHD) and the Similarity Analysis. The analysis of the corpus showed that there were 5,417 occurrences of words, spread in 1,090 forms, whose average occurrence was 5.97 words for each form. The Descending Hierarchical Classification analyzed 152 text segments, with 75% retention of the corpus, which resulted in the construction of four partitions and six classes, namely: attention to perceived needs; counseling activity; reception of PPL and family; difficulties related to the system; difficulties related to resources; and suggestion for professional training for EABP.

[Learning vein puncture using digital educational material in a Nursing Undergraduate Course]. / Aprendizagem de punção venosa com objeto educacional digital no Curso de Graduação em Enfermagem.

This exploratory descriptive study aimed at assessing the performance of undergraduate students in the fourth year of the Nursing course to carry out a vein puncture technique with the support of three digital educational materials--hypertext, educational games, and simulations. The sample consisted of 37 students, who had studied the digital material in an IT laboratory and had carried out the procedure of peripheral vein puncture in training laboratory. Ten stages considered essential for the accomplishment of the procedure were observed, and an assessment form of the educational materials was analyzed. Thirty three (89.19%) subjects had never done vein puncture, and 27 (72.97%) correctly performed five or more stages of the procedure. As to visualizing and saving the educational materials in the computer, 12 (32.44%) and 15 (40.54%) students, respectively, said to have had some kind of difficulty. According to 91.90% of the students, the material aided their learning process, which demonstrates this learning tool can be explored and more frequently used.
