This strategy was applied in the daily practice of the professionals who provide care to women in situations of violence. Objective: To identify challenges in the training and development of the professionals who work in an intersectoral health care network for women in situations of violence. Methodology: A qualitative study was conducted using semi-structured interviews to 49 professionals who work in an intersectoral health care network for women in situations of violence, between October 2016 and April 2017, in the southern region of Brazil. The interviews were transcribed and processed using IRAMUTEQ® software for data analysis. Descending hierarchical classification, similarity analysis, and word clouds were used. Results: The following challenges were identified: networking, vocational training, intersectoral communication, and interface between health, social, and education services. Conclusion: Permanent health education proved to be an effective strategy for consolidating advances in the intersectoral network. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Theoretical framework: Over the years there have been substantial changes in the amount of documentation in nursing as a result of information technologies that are part of the daily work of health professionals. Physicians are the greatest consumers of the information collected, processed and documented by nurses, given the relevance of this information in the process of clinical decision-making. Objectives: To identify and describe the information collected, processed and documented by nurses that appears most relevant to the medical profession. Methodology: Qualitative and exploratory study using participant observation (98 hours) and interviews (3) with key informants, conducted in the hospital. Inductive content analysis of field notes and interviews. Results: The most relevant information for doctors depends on the context of the subject, action and professions and can be aggregated into three categories: «monitoring parameters»; «medications and therapeutic attitudes»; and «recurrent data». Conclusion: Strategies for data collection are capable of generating valid data for the identification of categories of information most relevant to physicians («monitoring parameters», «medications and therapeutic attitudes» and «recurrent data»). The information relevant for physicians is not influenced by the person who decides that the data are collected. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
