ABSTRACT
Action-research was accomplished at the Federal University of Goiás College of Nursing in 1998 aiming at implementing and analyzing the teaching resources of physical pulmonary examination through the problem-based method. The Arch Method Phases were developed with sophomores in the undergraduate Nursing Course. During the Conclusion Hypothesis phase, the need of various activities in order to fix the theme was observed. In the theoretical and psycho-motor evaluation, we verified that the students had more difficulty in performing percussion and palpitation. It was concluded that the application of the problem-based pedagogy in physical examination was feasible.

The present study had the purpose of identifying characteristics of the scientific production on Nursing Communication based on a sample of papers presented at four events of the Brazilian Symposium on Nursing Communication (1988, 1990, 1992 and 1994). The majority of authors were faculty, who developed research mainly in groups, focussing as subjects the dyad (professionals and clientele), establishing as objects of their studies aspects of interaction (quality and effectiveness) as well as aspects of the production and utilization of Nursing knowledge. Interpersonal context was the most investigated, care was the area most studied and the usual environment was the hospital. Research were mainly of non-experimental type. Results evidenced aspects of communication inadequateness in areas of care (including administration), education (mainly of clientele) and research. At the same time, authors perceived the trend towards innovative solutions and improvement of knowledge on the communication process.

The use of video has been described in the literature as favourable to changes in behaviours during communication. This study aimed at verifying the effect of a training programme in the use of categories of confirmation and discordance during the interaction (oral communication) between students and patients. The results evidenced the predominance of confirmation categories in interactions: there were no significant changes in the interaction profile before and after training. Authors concluded that the teaching of communication abilities has to be done during the undergraduate course and not only in one course or period.

In this descriptive study we adopted the model of FORREST (1983) for the categorization of oral utterances by the members of the nursing team when caring for hematological patients with oncological alterations. In order to identify the frequency of facilitating(F) and blocking(B) categories of communication and of their subcategories, we videotaped and observed the interactions between 8 patients and 14 members of the Nursing team in a Teaching Hospital in the city of Ribeirão Preto-SP. We recorded 8822 categories, 56.9% of which were facilitating. The most frequent of these were: providing information (50.3%), clarifying (28.0%) and recognizing the presence (11.2%). The most frequent blocking categories were: closed questions (64.6%), giving advice (13.9%) and approving or agreeing (10%). The remaining F and B subcategories were observed at frequencies of less than 4.5%. We suggest the more frequent use of other facilitating categories and the use of closed questions in special situations. We believe that, for a more profound relationship between nursing team and patients, it is of fundamental importance to reduce the "giving advice" and "approval" categories as they are being used now.

Based on the reference work of FORREST (1983), we conducted an experiment in order to determine how interviewees (6th semester nursing undergraduate course) perceive a dialogue, taking into consideration 12 items of evaluation (opening, interest, changing subject, directed questions, disapproval of the subject, tranquility, tension, counseling, recognizing feelings, reflection about the topics, approval, and flight from the topics). Treatment consisted of interviews with different proportions of categories of facilitating (F) and blocking (B) communication: Group A-55% F category and 45% B category; Group B-75% B category and 25% F category. There was no statistical difference between groups in terms of any of the proposed evaluation items. We emphasize the fact that the interviewer was known by interviewees. The topic was easy to approach and the level of relationship was of the horizontal type.

The present study proposes to verify the viability of Johari's window in a two-people meeting. Methodologically, the study comprised the following stages: comprehension of the theoretical model of Johari's window, establishment of criteria for the accomplishment of an interview following the reference; accomplishment of an interview with a client that do not know the reference; analysis and interpretation of the results through Johari's window. The results allowed the authors to analyse the interviewer and interviewee behaviour during the interview. They also verified the amount that it is unknown about the other, through what he/she allows to be revealed and analysed the way that a person uses to reveal his/her own personality. The window makes it easier to visualize the manner that people reveal themselves.

The subject of the present study is the teaching of the ability of diagnosing to nursing students. It has the general objective of verifying the adequacy of the elaboration of the analysis and synthesis process and its relation to the establishment of nursing diagnosis. After the development of the programmatic content of the Medical Nursing Discipline, students individually elaborated, facing a hypothetic situation, the diagnosis process (RISNER, 1986), obtaining a total of 106 diagnosis formulations (Taxonomy I of North American Nursing Diagnosis Association). The major difficulties were in the areas of "the establishment of relations and "data clustering". Authors suggest the stimulation of the development of the process of thinking inherent to analysis and synthesis since the beginning of undergraduate course.

The present study aimed at searching patterns of human responses and diagnoses categories identified by 16 undergraduate nursing students in 22 patients with cardiac alterations admitted in a School Hospital. 77 Nursing Diagnoses (ND) were found, 72.7% in the pattern of EXCHANGING, 7.7% in the pattern of MOVING, 6.4% in the pattern of FEELING and 2.5% in the pattern of RELATING. The predominant diagnoses categories were: knowledge deficit (9%), decreased cardiac output (7.7%), fluid volume excess (6.4%), altered nutrition less than body requirements (6.4%) and high risk for infection (5.1%).
