ABSTRACT
Nursing students in junior college have less class time and weaker foundation com-pared with nursing undergraduates, therefore it is more difficult for them to learn pathphysiology. In order to improve the teaching effect, we adopt the following strategies in pathophysiology teaching:①Guiding clinical nursing practice combining with specific situation in order to give students a deep understanding of pathophysiology knowledge and its significance. ②Urging students to review relevant basic knowledge before class and teacher to briefly introduce the basic knowledge before initiating class in order to reinforce the knowledge. ③Examples of daily life should be combined to make the abstract theory knowledge vivid. Teaching should revolve around the main line and key points should be highlighted. ④Dividing pathophysiology course into three units, and summary must be executed at the end of each unit.

O perfil das mulheres que utilizam estas Unidades Básicas Distritais de Saúde foram de: baixa escolaridade e renda familiar e sem nenhum tipo de convênio médico e, portanto, elas dependem única e exclusivamente do Sistema Único de Saúde, para o acompanhamento no pré-natal, resolução do parto e seguimento no puerpério.
The present article presents the sociological analysis of the nursing profession, focussing the specificities of the profession on the basis of the component elements of a profession, according to the theoretical system of the sociology of professions. At the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the new millenium, nursing faces crucial questions for the profession, which bring back the need to restructure the strategic considerations that make up the political agenda of the nursing profession. Specific knowledge, professional qualification, particularities of the work process, monopoly of the professional exercise, and the configuration of the hierarchy of the nursing team are some of the items dealt within this article. As one of the essential professions in the health area, nursing needs to reach the next century with a new perspective, knowing how and in which conditions it will develop in a context of paradigmatic changes. Considering this new context, a political agenda for nursing professionals will have to contemplate the several aspects that make up a profession, that is, specific knowledge, exclusive labor market, form of organization, among others.
