ABSTRACTObjective: to discuss the perspectives of Brazilian scientific Nursing papers about the comprehensiveness in care practice in a primary health care level. Method: qualitative study built upon an integrative revision of literature. The search was performed in Virtual Health Library, which includes the following database: MEDLINE, LILACS, SciELO and others. Only researches made in Brazil from 1990 to 2010 with full text available in Portuguese were selected and the unavailable and incoherent ones were excluded. Results: in analyzed data, two distinct thematic categories emerged: Administrative Practices: more burocratic but provide optimal conditions to caring process. Intersubjective Practices: in which humanization and intersubjective exchanges are protagonists. Conclusion: it was possible to verify that thus humanization and intersubjectivity have been known as the foundations of a comprehensive health care, providing access and the best possible articulation among health services are also fundamental actions when considering to provide comprehensiveness  in assistance. In this context, the political content of care contextualized in nursing consultation is highlighted.

Patients With Diabetes

This study defined the baseline level of knowledge about diabetes and the perceived effectiveness of sources of diabetes information in an urban primary health care centre in Al-Ain. A validated questionnaire was administered to 300 randomly chosen adult patients with diabetes. Patient knowledge about diabetes was directly related to their level of general education. Written and electronic media, and contact with a nurse or doctor were effective sources of education on diabetes while “conversation with significant others”, dietician or pharmacist were not effective. Nurse- or doctor-centred education appears to be an effective choice for future programmes to provide information to patients with diabetes.
