[The experience of institutionalized children].

The aim of this study was to know the experience of the institutionalized child and was guided by the theoretical referential of the "Symbolic Interactionism" and by the methodological referential of the "Grounded Theory". The data had been collected in two stages: the first one understood group activities and second stage consisted of personal interviews. The results had shown that the institutionalization occurred for abandonment and reject of the parents or for legal decision as a measure of child protection, having as context the poverty of its family. The child's experience is conflicting in relation to being institutionalized, because while he/she perceives the necessity of material gain, they miss their family, their home, their friends, and simply life outside.

Diastereoselective protonation of lactam enolates derived from (R)-phenylglycinol. A novel asymmetric route to 4-phenyl-1,2,3, 4-tetrahydroisoquinolines.

Highly diastereoselective protonation of chiral lactam enolates of 4-substituted-1,4-dihydroisoquinolin-3-ones is reported. Protonation and alkylation processes of these lactam enolates derived from phenylglycinol occur with opposite diastereofacial selectivity. This diastereoselective protonation has been applied to the asymmetric synthesis of (4S)-N-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline 9 obtained in up to 97% ee.

[Nursing in a pediatric unit. Proposal for systematization].

The present work reports an initial process of nursing assistance systematization developed in a Pediatric Unit of a medium size hospital in São Carlos-SP, considering the actual human resources and the type of approach adopted by the institution on the assistance given to the hospitalized child. A Routine Manual was elaborated based on the literature and with the staff participation, and after that, a training was realized with these employees, starting from routines previously sketched, using groupal dynamics that looked forward to rescue the knowledge that they already had about the themes. The work considered the employees opinion about their participation in the systematization process.

[The importance of symbolic interactionism in nursing practice].

The nurse should combine, in their daily practice, technical abilities with a profound comprehension of the main object oh their work, the human being. Symbolic Interactionism is an approach which enables the nursery professional to understand patients by the meaning they value their living experiences. The use of qualitative methods in nursery research is essential because it studies the humans beings and their relationship with the environment, allowing the understanding of the living experiences. These kind of approaches should be even more applied in nursery practice as they open new ways for professional knowledge and enrich practical skills.

[Seeking to guarantee the rights of children and adolescents: our experience].

This report discusses the nursing activities developed by a group of professionals within the family context. Children and their families maintain relationships determined historically by the social context within which they live. According to the National Survey by Address Sampling, 53.5% of Brazilian children and adolescents live in families whose monthly income per capita is under one half of a minimum salary. The consequences of the country's recessive economy have a serious effect upon the entire population, potentially interfering in the family's health and, thus, in that of children and adolescents. When working with families we must consider what the family believes to be its function, since, despite the fact that the Children's and Adolescent's Statute gives the legal definition of family obligations, it is the family's beliefs that actually direct or define the role it plays in caring for and protecting each of its members. The "Support Couples" project, directed by this group, takes into consideration a family's particular characteristics so that it can offer support to the family to help it meet those legal requirements related to child and adolescent care. The objective of this work is to divulge the Project itself, and to place professional nurses in activities that are directly related to the promotion and maintenance of children's and adolescent's rights as citizens inserted into a family and social context.
