Abstract

This study aims to discuss nursing interventions in the activities of a Damage Reduction Program (PRD), centered in transcultural nursing care. The field work was developed in the PRD in Porto Alegre, from 1998 to 2000, starting from nursing care to addicts attended by PRD staff. We concluded that, beyond the syringes exchange, nursing care practice with cultural competence allows for a comprehension of the complexity implied in the approach of questions related to drugs use in society
