title: [Epidemiology: an instrument for the nurse's working process?].
abstract: This paper discusses the role of the epidemiology in the nurse's work process. It searches for the comprehension of the work process's concepts and their elements deriving from a marxist analysis. It discusses the importance of this comprehension for the knowledge/recognition of the nursing profession and the epidemiologic support question as a work instrument.
