Abstract:
This study aims to identify the conceptual and operational aspects of the clients/patients education, in the brazilian nursing literature. Sixty studies published between 1980 and 1995 were reviewed. The data were analysed and coded. At the conceptual level, the education activity is characterized as a mechanical action of information and of patients' protection. It is seen as orientation and follows contradictory conceptual frameworks focussing the illness. At the operational level, the activity is developed as an informative action and not as a consciousness one, and the evaluation is inadequate.
