Background: During puerperium, a woman undergoes several changes caused by pregnancy and childbirth. At this stage, complications can occur, which, when not identified or taken care of properly, tend to result in morbidity and mortality from preventable causes. The objective of this study was to evaluate the nursing care provided to women during the puerperium period. Methods: The research is a descriptive exploratory study, with a quantitative approach, carried out in the Family Health Units (FHU) in the municipality of Patos, PB. The population included all the nurses of the FHU. Out of 38 nurses from the FHU, 27 nurses participated. Data were analysed in SPSS (version 21). Results: The study revealed that the sample consisted mostly of females (92.6%), aged between 32 and 34 years (44.4%), unmarried, between 10 and 15 years of training (37.0%), all with post-graduate degrees. All the professionals interviewed performed a puerperal consultation and reported that the most common complaints were related to difficulty with breastfeeding (92.6%). Most of the participants participated in training courses offered by management (66.7%), but the majority did not participate in scientific events in the area of women's health after graduation. Conclusion: Thus, it is necessary to consider how actions are carried out in the women's health care programme concerning puerperium in the city under study. These programmes should consider the health needs of this group and training to fully develop the competencies of qualified professionals.

O estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o processo de trabalho das equipes de saúde da família do Estado de Pernambuco, por porte populacional, no ano de 2009. Foram aplicados questionários estruturados a 154 equipes de 24 municípios e avaliados itens referentes à organização da equipe, articulação com a comunidade e a programas específicos. Os resultados mostraram que as equipes dos municípios de maior porte se destacaram-se dos demais quanto à existência de pelo menos um grupo temático e no preenchimento dos livros de registro de tuberculose e hanseníase. Já os municípios de menor porte apresentaram melhores resultados nas ações de acolhimento, busca ativa de adolescentes de risco e no conjunto das ações de saúde da mulher. Entretanto, de uma forma geral, as equipes apresentaram dificuldades para realizar várias ações, sendo necessário capacitar os profissionais, a fim de desenvolverem suas práticas conforme preconiza a Política Nacional de Atenção Básica.AbstractThe study aimed to evaluate the family health teams process of work in the state of Pernambuco based on population size in the year 2009.

Victoria's Women's Health Services and Centres Against Sexual Assault have implemented a range of indirect activities utilising various strategies and methods with a particular focus on information and resource provision, education and training, community development and promotional activity. They have increased women's access to existing services by working to make those services more appropriate and relevant. To achieve this they have involved women in the community in program management, design and implementation. Collaboration with other agencies in health and related services has also been a key strategy in achieving changes to mainstream services and fulfilling the aims of the dual strategy.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the clinical practice of nurses in the interprofessional context of the Family Health Strategy. Method: Case study in a basic health unit of the city of São Paulo with a professional team of the Family Health Strategy and of the Family Health Support Center. Direct observation and interviews with thematic analysis and triangulation were conducted. Results: Four empirical categories were identified: interprofessional actions guided by the logic of the user's health needs; interprofessional actions guided by the logic of expediting service; interprofessional actions with a biomedical approach and interprofessional actions with an integral/holistic approach. Six interprofessional actions that indicated the expansion of the clinical practice of the Family Health Strategy's nurses were also identified. Conclusion: The results express the world trend of interprofessional practice and expansion of the scope of practice of different professions, particularly that of nurses, which requires consolidation based on the population's health needs.
