[Health reform: the consequences for the teaching of the administration of community nursing services].
This study is aimed at characterizing the administrative activities performed by nurses at health institutions engaged in a process of restructuring the sanitary system. The instrument consisted of a questionnaire and concentrated on the formulation of a theoretical frame for the administrative practice of a nurse. The collected data showed that nurses are performing the administrative activity following random and non-scientific patterns. There are differences concerning the management carried out by nurses according to the nature of the institution, public or private, and the level of health assistance. As far as the steps in an administrative process go, most nurses don't plan or evaluate carefully the type of health care to be taken. They supervise the application of a plan conceived by other departments in which they may or may not have participated.
