Abstract

The author tried to identify types and number of hair and scalp nursing problems presented by medical-surgical patients of a governmental teaching hospital. Four (4) classes of problems were identified: cleanliness conditions, lesions, infestation and combing conditions. Each class was sub-divided into a scale, named types of problems. The proportion of detected problems, per patient, was of 0,80 and the proportion of patients with problems was of 58,00%. Some conditions that may interfere in hair and scalp care were also studied and some information gathered on habits and practices of subjects.
