Dear Scientific Editor of REBEn,

The recent publication "Accountability of the other: discourses of nurses of the Family Health Strategy on the occurrence of dengue" is very interesting(1). Reis et al. concluded that "discourse of nurses is very close to common sense, generalizing inadequate behaviors(1)". Indeed, it is proved that "nurses conceptions on comprehensiveness are directly relates with providing care(2)". Hence understanding the behavior relating to an occurrence of a disease is important. It can trace the way of the interrelationship between nurses and patients as well as other medical personnel(3) interest, the common sense seems to be important part determining the disclosure behavior. This reflects the concerns on humanistic rather than scientific evidence.
