[Conflicting situations in the reception of oral health teams from the Family Health Program in Alagoinhas, Bahia, Brazil].

The study discusses the conflicting situations that arise while receiving oral health teams in Alagoinhas, Bahia, Brazil. The main orientation for the Family Health Program is based on analyzing health care work flowcharts. The current qualitative research used semi-structured interviews and practical observation as the data collection techniques. There were 17 study subjects: group I (dentists and dental assistants - 6); group II (other health workers - 6); and group III (users - 5). Users' first contact with the family health team is in the reception, often in a tense and conflicting atmosphere, but with the potential for alternatives for change, as a privileged space for the use of low-key technologies. The therapeutic process varies: e.g. clinical consultation, emergency care, scheduled follow-up, and referral to other health services in the system. However, oral health teams conduct the reception process in different ways, depending on the practitioners' commitment and unique characteristics.

[Introductory Training for manager nurses: some possibilities inside the SUS].

This article focuses on Introductory Training as a starting point inside the capacitation process of members from SUS (Sistema Unico de Saúde--Brazilian Public Health System). Its premise is that management practices demand an understanding of the body of knowledge existing in the micro and macro managers' workspaces. By articulating Introductory Training and the management area, such training is deemed strategic for nurses undertaking management positions, as it creates an opportunity for development of technical, administrative, ethical and political competences. Within the organizational scope, an Introductory Training must be planned and implemented in a participative and democratic way, in order to provide managers with a broader comprehension of the context they are inserted in.

[How the family acts regarding the health-disease process of a family member with breast cancer].

Qualitative study performed with ten relatives of cancer patients in two clinics located in Feira de Santana-BA, aiming at analyzing how the family thinks, feels, and acts concerning the disease. Data was collected by means of a semi-structured interview and analyzed by dialectic hermeneutics. Results showed that most interviewees associated cancer and death, and the first reaction concerning the disease was unexpected, with a feeling that "the world has fallen". With time, there appeared hope, solidarity and faith to face the disease; however, they regarded emotional support as critical for the treatment. Family experience regarding breast cancer was seen as a "life change" in individuals, in emotional, religious and biological terms. Such changes showed the need for support groups to help patients and their relatives to face the disease.
