Abstract

This exploratory and qualitative study aimed
to characterize the work process of nurses from Hospital
Epidemiology Centers in relation to the agents, aim,
means and instruments, object and products. The data
were collected between March and May 2012, through
open interviews held with nine nurses from five Hospital
Epidemiology Centers in the city of Curitiba, Paraná, in
accordance with Resolution 196/96. The study made it
possible to identify the constituent elements of the work
of the nurse in Hospital Epidemiological Surveillance
and evidenced practices which are still incipient in some
institutions. It emerged that the professional practice,
in the centers referred to, must break from the taskcentered model of work, in favor of a model which is
articulated with specialist services and which contributes
to the construction of Public Policies aligned with the
population’s health needs.
