Abstract

Exploratory-descriptive study which aimed to set the relation of reliance between the nurses´ training and the practice focused on the diagnosis of the SVT according to the nurses´ view, and also check the Nursing care related to the SVT in pregnant women; identify the signals, symptoms and risks related to the SVT according to the nurses´ view; and also check the Nursing care related to the SVT prevention and control in these professionals´ view. Interviews with forty nurses, who belonged to twenty health units of the country of Fortaleza-Ceará-Brasil, were developed from July to December of 2004. Statistics tests of the x-squared (x²) to find the dependence between two variants reached 95% of reliability which confirmed that the nurse’s correct STV procedures depend on the kind of specialization course he has attended and the kind of in-service training he has had as well. It was observed that the nurse’s knowledge and practice in this area should be strengthened, having as strategies the in-service continuing education and the offer of specialization courses in the area.
