This study presents some considerations on the situation of Brazilian nursing workers. It is known that these professionals have an idealized conception of their duty. This fact prevents them from being aware of the many occupational risks, accidents and diseases to which they are exposed. The awareness of these professionals, regarding occupational risks, is very important in order to change this picture and enable nursing workers to claim for better work conditions.
At hospitals, patients with tuberculosis are attended by several professionals and among them nursing workers. These workers are subjected to the risk of the tuberculosis infection. This study had the objective of investigating the number of nursing workers in a hospital that acquired tuberculosis in a pre-determined period and their general characteristics; to calculate the morbidity coefficient of this disease and discuss the occupational risk among these workers. In one year, health workers presented 3.86 times greater risk, and, in another year, 1.47 times greater risk. In the present study tuberculosis was considered an occupational hazard for hospital nursing workers.
In this study we used Horta's theoretical framework to orientate the nursing practice. After the initial assessment to identify the affected needs we proceeded the identification of nursing diagnosis using NANDA's (North American Nursing Diagnosis Association) proposed taxonomy. This adaptation of Horta's model permitted nursing care planning (goals and objectives). After this step the problem-oriented methodology was used as an strategy for nursing care. This model was used with a hospitalized patient, identifying: alteration of affected needs, five nursing diagnosis to which four goals were delineated and followed by the five steps of the problem oriented methodology (evaluation).
