BACKGROUND: Angola is one of the largest African countries with continuing levels of insecurity, considerable weakness in terms of respect for human rights, destroyed infrastructure and low transparency and social accountability levels. The health system displays gaps and nursing represents the main contingent among human resources in health. AIM: This research aims to understand the healthcare context in Angola from the perspective of Brazilian nurses who were involved in helping their Angolan colleagues. This general view of health services is followed by a description of nursing workforce particularities at a tertiary health service in the province of Luanda. METHODS: Data were extracted from the database of the Global Network of World Health Organization Collaborating Centres for Nursing and Midwifery Development, constructed based on technical visits to Angola in 2009. Information related to health service characteristics was used, focusing on nursing human resource activities at two tertiary, one secondary and one primary health institutions located in the province of Luanda. The study data were analysed through descriptive statistics. FINDINGS: Among the problems the nursing workforce faces, the lack of human, material and financial resources stands out, as well as insufficient professional qualification, excessive work journeys, low remunerations, non-valuation of professionals, leading to unsatisfactory work environments and discouraged human resources. CONCLUSIONS: Nursing in Angola is conquering its professional space. Therefore, regulatory policies are fundamental, defining the rights and obligations of all categories involved, with a view to determining nurses' function in the health team, including respect for and acknowledgement of their role in the community.

Interpersonal communication as a means to promote health and well-being is presented as a strategical orientation in the nursing care process. Meanwhile, in our medium, we have observed the development of communication from a perspective much more related to complying with a service. This article has these objectives: a) to investigate this theme by highlighting analytical instruments of interaction found in bibliographical references, b) to disclose the results of research about nurse-patient communication indicators, in the context as a forum for reflection, bearing in mind the quality of treatment. The authors highlight the need to assume a responsibility shared by teaching nurses and assistants, with the goal to constantly seek to develop communicative competence and thus to contribute to a greater efficiency and an improvement in the quality of nursing care.
