[Discharge of the surgical patient within the context of the health system].

Based on the assumption that surgical patients, together with their families, take responsibility for their own care after being discharged from the hospital and that they are not duly prepared for this task, we undertook the present study to investigate the problems of surgical patients related to discharge and to determine the type of care offered to these individuals within the context of the health system. The study included patients submitted to elective, medium surgery at the University Hospital, Faculty of Medicine of Ribeirão Preto, USP, during the first semester of 1989. Fifty patients (42 women and 8 men) of the various surgical specialties were interviewed during home visits. The instrument for data collection consisted of three parts: the first involved social and environmental aspects such as housing, job, family and others, the second involved the relationship of the individual with the health system, his/her perceptions and difficulties, and the third involved the biological aspects related to the surgical process. The data were analyzed in a descriptive manner on the basis of the theoretical referencial of Lalonde, which sees health as the result of a dynamic process of individual integration with the environment.

[The male nurse in his so-called "space"].

In a study in which "space" is understood as the place of insertion or of social action of the male nurse, and consequently of his productivity within a determined sociohistorical situation, the following questions were asked: How are male nurses inserted in their professional space? How do they practice their profession? Within this context, the nursing profession has been looking for its action arena, aware that its limits are irregular and its frontiers are invaded by other professionals, and aware also that the male nurse surpasses these limits. Using a phenomenological method, the reality of the male nurse's "space" as it appears has been presented and judged with the aim of describing what the male nurse's space ought be in a pragmatic perspective.
