[Nursing research at the Congress on Scientific Initiation in a university in the city of São Paulo].
The objective of this descriptive study was to evaluate the methodological accuracy of the studies presented by the Nursing Faculty in the 5h Congress on Scientific Initiation in a university in the city of São Paulo, based on a summary published in the event annals and on the posters presented there. Considering the 42 works, the objectives were adequately constructed in 45.2%, while 31% were not clear and not able to be evaluated. More than one methodological inadequacy was observed for the same work, totaling 56 occurrences. The results showed to be adequate in 24 works. 33.3% of the works had adequate conclusions, followed by 31.5% which did not meet the objectives of the study. Ethic questions in research were not mentioned in 64.3% of the works. When comparing works of the same subject performed by other Brazilian researchers, results indicate that the research activity in this Nursing Faculty needs more investment regarding qualification of the professors-orientators to fulfill the need of strengthening the activity.
