Objectives:
to identify the knowledge of nursing professionals about leadership models and evaluate the authentic leadership profile among them.
Methods:
analytical study, conducted between August and December 2015, involving 84 nursing professionals working in a public and tertiary hospital. We used two instruments: Sociodemographic Questionnaire with questions about leadership and the Authentic Leadership Questionnaire.
Results:
both nurses and nursing technicians were unaware of authentic leadership. Both pointed to communication, planning, and organization as competencies of the leader (n = 58, 95%). Regarding the authentic leadership profile, we observed that the score was “high” among nurses and “low” among technicians. Holding a leadership position and professionally upgrading has positively influenced the highest-profile of authentic leadership.
Conclusions:
nurses demonstrated to know behavioral leadership, while nursing technicians showed knowledge about situational leadership. Nurses had a high score of authentic leadership behaviors, while nursing technicians had a low score, but we found no significant difference between them. Holding a leadership position and professionally upgrading has positively influenced the highest profile of authentic leadership.

Objective:
to describe the epidemiological profile of farmworkers exposed to pesticides in the city of Casimiro de Abreu, Rio de Janeiro State.
Method:
cross-sectional study, conducted through a questionnaire. The collected data were typed in spreadsheet and processed in the R software.
Results:
the predominance of female participants, between 40 and 60 years old, married, with some elementary education was observed. Furthermore, the family labor and the production for their own consumption and trade prevail. Herbicide is the most widely used pesticide. Most informants present poisoning symptoms, as they do not use Personal Protective Equipment nor sunscreen. Breast cancer is the most frequent in families; among the participants, 31% had hypertension and 6.4% diabetes.
Conclusion:
a population vulnerable to environmental and occupational risks, specially the middle-aged group and women, sets up a profile marked by regional differences.
