Abstract

From the apprehension of the knowledge in pediatrics nursing in Brazil, a research was done in a Brazilian historical bibliographic work of references. From an historical perspective nursing it is seen as a social articulate practice, as pan of a collective process of work. The knowledge in this study is considered as an instrument from which man apprehends his working object. Forty tittles were found about how to take care of children, from eight per cent of the group of five hundred and four. The proportion was considered very small. The production which was found was classified under two aspects: the prescriptive and the analytical. The prescriptive texts are those related to normalize the work in view of the rationality and to the productivity. The analytical open the possibility and give the means to diversify the nursing assistance particularizing the care and with another aim related to the nursing work.
