Method: sixteen nursing assistants and technicians from nine of the CAPS ad in São Paulo were interviewed, and data were analyzed using the constant comparative method. Results: performing the functions in the CAPS ad enabled the change in staff's conception from a stigmatizing and prejudiced view, to the concept of chemical dependence as a disease and those who are chemically dependent as patients with comorbidities and family problems, in need of help and treatment. Conclusion: professional practice in specialized services for alcohol and other drugs enables changes in the staff's conceptions about chemically dependent individuals, highlighting the need to include the subject of alcohol and drugs in the school curriculum. Key words: Nursing, Team; Substance-Related Disorders; Mental Health Services. RESUMO Objetivo: descrever e compreender as concepções dos profi ssionais de nível médio em enfermagem dos Centros de Atenção Psicossocial álcool e drogas (CAPS ad), perante o dependente químico. Método: foram entrevistados 16 auxiliares e técnicos de enfermagem de 9 CAPS ad do município de São Paulo, e os dados foram analisados utilizando-se o método de comparação constante. Resultados: o desempenho das funções no CAPS ad possibilitou a mudança de concepção dos trabalhadores, de uma visão estigmatizante e preconceituosa, para a concepção da dependência química como doença e dos dependentes químicos como pessoas doentes que possuem comorbidades e problemas familiares, que necessitam de auxílio e tratamento. Conclusão: a prática profi ssional em serviços especializados em álcool e outras drogas favorece a mudança nas concepções dos trabalhadores sobre o dependente químico, destacando-se a necessidade da inclusão do tema álcool e drogas no currículo escolares.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Morte e morrer: sentimentos e condutas de estudantes de enfermagem
Get PDFOBJETIVO: Identificar as condutas e os sentimentos de estudantes de enfermagem frente a uma situação hipotética, envolvendo a morte e o morrer. MÉTODOS: Estudo exploratório qualitativo com dados coletados por meio de um questionário autoaplicável em amostra de 51 estudantes de enfermagem de uma faculdade privada do Norte do Estado de São Paulo e submetidos à análise temática de conteúdo. RESULTADOS: Esses estudantes de enfermagem não estão preparados para lidar com situações que envolvem a morte e o morrer e tendem a negar a situação, apresentando condutas inadequadas frente ao paciente com morte iminente. Os sentimentos que mais emergiram nesses sujeitos frente à morte foram a perda e o medo. CONCLUSÃO: Há necessidade de que maior atenção seja dada à temática durante a formação dos enfermeiros com vistas a prepará-los para o enfrentamento das situações que envolvem a morte e o morrer no cotidiano das práticas curriculares.</jats:p
Construct validation of the scale of attitudes toward alcohol, alcoholism and individuals with alcohol use disorders
No full text Background : The attitudes toward issues related to alcohol and alcoholism have been noted as important predictors of the quantity and quality of care provided to individuals who have problems related to alcohol use. The Scale of Attitudes toward Alcohol, Alcoholism and Alcoholics (EAFAAA) (Escala de Atitudes Frente ao Álcool, ao Alcoolismo e à pessoa com transtornos relacionados ao uso do álcool – EAFAAA) has been widely used among students in health-related fields. However, the psychometric properties of this instrument have not been tested among professionals. Objective : The goal of this study was to determine the construct validity of the EAFAAA for use among health professionals. Methods : A preliminary version of the EAFAAA was distributed to a sample of health care professionals (n = 1,025). For the construct validation of the scale, the data were subjected to a factorial analysis, and the internal consistency was examined; the cutoff score of the instrument was determined using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results : The exploratory factor analysis and the refinement of the EAFAAA items resulted in a final version consisting of 50 items divided into four factors: (1) Work and interpersonal relationships with patients with alcohol use disorders, (2) The individual with an alcohol use disorder, (3) Etiology of alcoholism and (4) Alcoholic beverages and their use. The internal consistency of the scale was considered adequate (Cronbach’s α > 0.80), and the instrument cutoff score was set at 3.15. Discussion : The results suggest that the instrument is valid for identifying attitudes towards alcohol, alcoholism and individuals with alcohol use disorders among health professionals.</div
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Publicações de enfermeiros sobre álcool e alcoolismo em anais do Congresso Brasileiro de Enfermagem
Get PDFEste é um estudo exploratório, de cunho bibliográfico, cujo objetivo foi verificar e caracterizar a produção literária de enfermeiros sobre a temática álcool e alcoolismo publicada nos anais do Congresso Brasileiro de Enfermagem publicados no período de 1998 a 2008. A amostra constituiu-se de 99 resumos diretamente relacionados ao tema. Os dados foram categorizados segundo os pressupostos da análise de conteúdo e originaram sete categorias para análise. Evidenciou-se que houve um aumento da produção sobre a temática nos últimos cinco anos e que o atendimento ao paciente alcoolista foi o tema mais pesquisado pelos enfermeiros. Concluiu-se que, apesar do aumento da produção sobre o tema, esta ainda é incipiente e que outros estudos dessa natureza merecem ser realizados, de forma a mapear a produção da enfermagem divulgada nos eventos científicos da área
