OBJECTIVE: to describe the coverage of news concerning the nursing profession in the Portuguese media: informative sites on the Internet and in print media. METHOD: a total of 1,271 health news items were collected in September and October of 2011 (956 online news items and 325 news items originating from the press review of the Portuguese Order of Nurses). Statistical analysis was used to characterize the variables. RESULTS: nurses were the sources of information in 6.6% of cases, suggesting limited media exposure. The health news collected is characterized by a production based on limited information sources, that is, male and official sources, on information disseminated by news agencies focused on economic and political issues in the health field. CONCLUSION: the presence of nurses in the news concerning nursing health is reduced. We suggest that nurses develop public communication skills to disseminate the importance of their profession in society and their relationship with the media.

RESUMOObjetivo: analisar a utilização do equipamento de esfigmomanômetro aneroide pelos técnicos de Enfermagem. Método: estudo qualitativo, do tipo descritivo, com nove técnicos de Enfermagem. Utilizou-se um questionário semiestruturado, com dados transcritos e analisados pela técnica de Análise de Conteúdo. Resultados: após a análise das falas, emergiram as categorias “A rotina adoece o trabalhador”; “Em casa de ferreiro, o espeto é de madeira” e “Santo de casa não faz milagre”. Percebe-se um trabalhador adoecido pela falta do cumprimento de política à saúde do trabalhador em que se faz necessária uma intervenção ergonômica. Conclusão: o trabalhador entende dos seus direitos, mas, ainda sim, de alguma forma, não os requer em relação às melhorias nas condições de trabalho. Quanto à instituição gestora, cabe adotar medidas de melhorias e absorver a participação dos trabalhadores para que aconteçam as devidas mudanças no seu cenário de trabalho. E se torna necessária a substituição do aparelho aneroide pelo digital em benefício à saúde do trabalhador.

Method: qualitative study, of the descriptive type, with nine nursing technicians. A semi-structured questionnaire was used, with data transcribed and analyzed using the Content Analysis technique. Results: after the analysis of the speech, the following categories emerged "The routine sickens the worker"; "In the blacksmith's house, the skewer is made of wood" and "The House Saint does not work miracles". A worker is affected by the lack of compliance with the worker's health policy in which an ergonomic intervention is necessary. Conclusion: the worker understands his rights, but, somehow, does not require them in relation to improvements in working conditions. As for the management institution, it is necessary to adopt improvement measures and absorb the participation of the workers so that the necessary changes in their work scenario happen. And it is necessary to replace the aneroid apparatus with digital for the benefit of the worker's health.

Objectives: The objectives of the study were to evaluate the impact of certain educational interventions on adverse drug reaction (ADR) reporting by nursing health professionals at a tertiary care hospital. Methods: Knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of the nurses regarding ADR reporting were evaluated before and after interventions using a KAP questionnaire. Educational interventions carried out among the nurses were workshops, booklets, SMSes, personal briefings, and posters. Number and quality of ADR reported by nurses in pre-intervention (3 months), intervention (10 months), and post-intervention (3 months) phase were compared. Results: There was a significant increase in response rate to questionnaires in the post-intervention phase (post-IP) (97.74%) as compared to pre-intervention (91.28%) phase (pre-IP). The knowledge score of the nurses increased significantly in post-IP (11.65 ± 2.14) as compared to the pre-intervention (6.98 ± 2.46) phase. No ADR was reported by nurses in pre-IP. Thirty nurses reported 30 ADRs in the intervention phase and six nurses reported six ADRs in the post-IP. The mean score of completeness of ADR notification forms decreased significantly in post-IP. Maximum ADRs (10) were reported after the workshops. Conclusion: Educational interventions improved the KAP of ADR reporting by nurses, albeit temporary. This suggests the need of continuous educational interventions.
