Objective:
To investigate the evidence of content validity and reliability of the Brazilian version of the Nutritional Literacy Scale (NLS) after the cultural adaptation process.
Methods:
Psychometric study of 1,197 users of the National Health Service (Brazilian SUS). The NLS was culturally adapted to Brazilian Portuguese and six items of the original scale were modified to improve its understanding, giving rise to the Brazilian version of the scale named NLS-BR. The analysis of evidence of content validity of the NLS-BR was performed using the Item Response Theory (IRT).
Results:
The final version of the NLS-BR had 23 items and proved to be adequate to assess nutritional literacy in adults assisted by the Brazilian SUS.
Final considerations:
The NLS-BR proved to be of adequate understanding and demonstrated evidence of content validity and reliability for users of the Brazilian SUS.

Objectives:
to analyze the knowledge of nurses working in Primary Health Care Units about regional foods, food & nutritional safety.
Methods:
a cross-sectional study conducted with 71 nurses working in health care units in the city of Fortaleza, Ceará. Data were obtained through administration of two questionnaires, subsequently analyzed through statistical tests.
Results:
a satisfactory level of knowledge was found for most nurses, and it was evident that those with graduate degrees had greater knowledge about ‘regional food basics’ (p=0,014) and ‘frequency of use of regional foods’ (p=0,014); the age of the professionals had an inversely proportional relationship with the knowledge about the ‘concept of food & nutritional safety’ (p=0,009).
Conclusions:
nurses had satisfactory knowledge about the themes addressed, and professionals should be encouraged to improve their knowledge and instruct families on the importance of a diet based on regional foods.
