English/Portuguese J Nurs UFPE online., Recife, 12 (11):3052-9, Nov., 2018  3053  It is argued that Nursing is an area of knowledge with its own care technologies and innovation potential.It is reported that its scientific discipline has as main constructs, promote healthy living supported by the dimensions of caring, educating, managing and researching / producing knowledge.Science and technology are based on nursing theories, on scientific principles, on technical care actions used in own taxonomy and on phenomena / domains of care. 1 In Brazil, the constant concern with the scientific production in Nursing remains, since it culminates in the consolidation, dissemination, application and affirmation of the profession.The increase in quantity and quality of Brazilian Nursing research is linked to the growth and improvement of master's, doctorate and postdoctoral courses. It is sought to identify the production of knowledge of Stricto Sensu Postgraduate Programs and the dissemination in scientific journals considering the contributions of theses and dissertations in the construction of scientific knowledge in the different areas of Nursing knowledge.

• To analyze the knowledge production of the Postgraduate Program in Nursing and the dissemination of knowledge in scientific journals
This is a descriptive and exploratory research5 that analyzed the dissertations and theses of the Stricto Sensu Postgraduate Program of the College of Nursing of UNICAMP, from 1999 to 2015.Data were collected on the copies of said production available in the Central Library and the Faculty of Medical Sciences, the Research and Extension Information System (SIPEX) of UNICAMP and the Sucupira Platform of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES).
After the identification of the production, the abstracts of the dissertations and theses recorded in the data collection protocol elaborated by the researchers were analyzed, as well as the identification data of the production (year and line of research), methodological outlines and trends themes of productions.It was observed in the Health Care and Nursing Process, that the themes "Psychometric scales / measures of evaluation" and "Quality of life of the adult client" stood out, with 15.6% (n = 24), among the dissertations.In the theses, the themes "Chronic diseases, risk factors and health behaviors" were highlighted, with 20.7% (n = 06) and "Biological rhythms in the adult client / Sleep quality", with 17.2 % (n = 05).A thematic one in the research, both in dissertations and in theses, is related to the "Evaluation and validation of techniques / procedures of nursing / health equipment" representing 11.7% of dissertations (n = 18) and 6.9% of the theses (n = 02).
Work, Health and Education stood out, in the dissertations, the themes "Occupational Health", with 27.0% (n = 23), the "Scales / psychometric evaluation measures" 36.3% (n = 04), with translation, cultural adaptation or development of health assessment scales.

In
Nursing and Health Services Management, the topic "Nursing Management" was predominant, with 73.7% (n = 14) of the dissertations and 66.7% (n = 04) of the theses.the professional practice of Nursing.
Within the Information / Communication in Health and Nursing lines, the "Nursing Work Characteristics", which encompass beliefs, social representations and the identity of nurses, and the "Psychometric evaluation scales / measures", both with 18.8 (n = 03) of the dissertations, and in the theses, the theme "Technological Innovation" stood out, with 60% (n = 03) of the works, including the development of computer programs and health software.After the analysis of the productions of the Stricto sensu Post-Graduation Program, the research of the publications generated from the dissertations and theses was done by consulting the Curriculum Lattes of students and teachers.
It is emphasized that the journals that most published articles from the program's productions were: Revista da Escola de Enfermagem da USP, with 27.6% (n = 48) of the publications; the Latin American Journal of Nursing, with 17.8% (n = 31) and the Brazilian Journal of Nursing, with 6.9% (n = 12), all with A stratification in the Qualis-CAPES system.International journals were responsible for 16.1% (n = 28) of the total published articles (Table 4).has, by essence and specificity, care, which reiterates the increase in this line demonstrating the nurses' concern with a knowledge that improves their praxis in the care of the patient, the family and the community. 3,6 is analyzed, within the line of Process of Care in Health and Nursing, that the subjects of the dissertations with more frequency were "Scales / psychometric measures of evaluation" and "Quality of life of the adult client".The professional is assisted by the evaluation scales that involve creation or translation and cultural adaptation, to direct their evaluations by providing new methodological resources that guide the proposal of changes in care and work environment. 7It is, with this, a concern in the construction and application of validated instruments in the professional clinical practice offering credibility and confidence to its use.
The theme "Quality of life" encompasses the evaluation of the physical, psychological, social and environmental fields 8 both in an individual and, more recently, familiar approach, measuring the impact that health changes have on people's lives, a topic that is contemplated in the National Agenda of Priorities in Health Research in Brazil. 9Thus, the high number of researches in this subject by the graduate program is justified.Also worthy of note is the "Evaluation and validation of Nursing/health equipment techniques/procedures", which shows the professionals' interest in evaluating and modifying their practice based on scientific evidence, which has almost tripled its production in the last four years.
The topic "Worker's Health", highlighted in the dissertations that sought to encompass relationships and the capacity for work and the process of health and illness, is highlighted in the line Work, Health and Education.Through research that addresses labor conditions and organizations, the development of public policies and labor legislation can be contributed through the analysis of the health and sickness processes of workers, accidents at work and social work disorders, 10 being the graduate courses strongly involved in the production of knowledge in this area.
It focuses on the third line of research, Management of Health Services and Nursing, the theme "Management in Nursing".The leadership position is occupied by the nurse, managing the care, the Nursing team and also the health unit.In order to do so, it is necessary to develop specific competences such as planning, making decisions and interacting, as well as mastering people management, 11 which may have influenced the choice of topic by the great majority of the works of this line.
It is pointed out that, in the last line, Information/Communication in Health and Nursing, the Postgraduate Program does not foresee the division by thematic categories, as it is observed in the other lines.However, among the dissertations, qualitative research on the beliefs, social representations and the identity of the nurse was identified.Through this research, the understanding of the other and its processes of knowing and acting before the world are aided.The main themes of the study are the social representations theory, socially shared meanings and values that reflect health care. 12he theme "Scales/psychometric measures of evaluation" was discussed in the other lines, reinforcing the importance of the creation and validation of health-related instruments.Among the theses, the theme "Technological Innovation" was highlighted, with the development of programs and software, denoting the importance of tools for knowledge sharing and the elaboration of teaching strategies.
Distingue-se outro aspecto relevante a ser destacado: o delineamento metodológico utilizado nos trabalhos.Torna-se, logo, de suma relevância a compreensão, por parte do pesquisador, acerca dos diferentes delineamentos existentes, bem como a escolha acertada segundo o objetivo e objeto de estudo. 3Observou-se que o delineamento mais recorrente foi quantitativo, com destaque para as pesquisas não experimentais entre as teses.Confere-se, na pesquisa não experimental, ao pesquisador, pelo objetivo descritivo, a ação de observar, descrever e documentar os aspectos relevantes de determinado fenômeno em estudo. 3e qualitative study, presented by the majority of the scientific studies of the Brazilian Nursing, 13 using Data Based Theory as a philosophical approach, was used as a methodological delineation in a larger number.It was verified, in a study developed on the Nursing and the use of the Philosophy, a domination of studies in the area of Nursing with qualitative and reflective methodological delineation.
Therefore, efforts are emphasized in the development of subjective issues of care, which contributes to science and to the growth of the profession. 14It is also raised by analyzing the production of knowledge related to the process of Nursing, which authors observed a growing trend in production with the qualitative design. 4nglish/Portuguese J Nurs UFPE online., Recife, 12 (11):3052-9, Nov., 2018 3057 Qualitative research is characterized by the search for information in a systematic way and is usually described as holistic and naturalistic, without any limitation or control imposed on the researcher, 5 seeking meanings for phenomena, manifestations, occurrences, events, events, experiences, ideas, feelings, issues that represent and give meaning to people's lives.
Methodologically, as important, the theory based on data is adopted, adopting it in the elaboration of research in the field of Nursing, where human interactions are the object of study.It allows the elaboration of relevant conceptual bases in the consolidation and the delineation of the theoretical body of the profession, 15 considering it as a method of qualitative research that varies between symbolic interactionism, which aims to understand the meaning of relationships and interactions between social phenomena, of reality, as well as of human life and action in the real world. 16 is necessary, regardless of the type of research, of dissemination in the scientific environment to ensure that the information contained therein can be made popular, enabling also to know the regional diversities, ensuring the advancement of science and the applicability of the results of the research with a view to improving people's quality of life and professional practice. 17e 173 articles published since the beginning of the program represent 53.2% of the total dissertations and theses produced during the period, consolidating the researches developed by its publication.It is essential to produce articles for the qualification and conceptualization of Postgraduate Programs and one of the indicators of productivity, and it is necessary to reflect on the quality of production and its dissemination vehicle. 18It is stated that the Post-Graduation of Nursing College of UNICAMP prioritizes the publication since the beginning of its activities.
Considering the production coming from the work of the program, the relevance and valorization of the periodicals that carried out each work are contemplated.It should be noted that in Brazil, the Qualis awarded by CAPES is a system that, through a set of procedures, stratifies the scientific production of graduate programs in relation to articles published by scientific journals.

It is known that it is not always possible to find similar scenarios.It was evidenced, in a published study, that, although there was a concentration of the research publications of a Brazilian Nursing Graduate Program in periodicals with wide dissemination between Qualis B1 and A2, a significant number of publications occurred in periodicals with stratification of Qualis inferior, which evidenced the need for improvement in quality.  Theicto Sensu Postgraduate Programs allow the formation of critical and reflexive researchers capable of producing knowledge with efficiency and quality, as well as contribute to the improvement of evidencebased practice, with safe results for patients.
Emphasis is given to the continuous need to increase publications in high-impact journals and the importance of publication in international journals, providing greater visibility to the researcher's work and improving the dissemination of the knowledge produced and meeting the applicability needs of the knowledge produced in the community.
Researchers in the field of Nursing are thus challenged to pursue excellence by producing and publishing the findings of their research in national and international journals recognized by the scientific community, presenting studies based on robust theoretical and methodological references that allow the its replication, the generalization of data and the advancement of science.It should be emphasized that this increase must be considered both in terms of building individual capacities and strengthening research groups, including different centers and strengthening the synergy of research results.
