The aim of this study was to analyse the teaching of competencies for health promotion in Nursing Education and to identify experimentations and experiences in this process. It was a qualitative whose data were collected in focus groups with teachers and students from 11 undergraduate nursing courses in Brazil. The results showed that health promotion competencies are temporally taught in the contact and interaction with reality through experimentations and experiences. Experimentation is an event determined by a specific place and time in the course, while experiences are related to a meaningful discovery and an opening to the unknown. The challenge to the teaching of competencies for health promotion is that it should overcome the logic of experimentation, which is structured on technical rationality, and favour a perspective that allows and values experiences in Nursing education.

Resumo O objetivo foi analisar o processo de construção da Educação Permanente em Saúde, identificando suas transformações, continuidades e rupturas no contexto sócio-histórico da década de 1970 a 2005. Estudo ancorado no referencial teórico-metodológico da Análise Crítica do Discurso. Com base em entrevistas realizadas com representantes da elaboração e gestão da política da Educação Permanente em Saúde, em diferentes momentos históricos, buscamos compreender o contexto, os textos e os atores sociais que compõem o discurso em cada época. Indicam um processo caracterizado por continuidades e rupturas, influenciado pelas ideologias que marcam variações discursivas em cada momento. Deste modo, os discursos da centralidade do trabalho, com suas demandas de profissionalização, qualificação e capacitação, convivem com os discursos da centralidade do sujeito e com suas necessidades de saber e aprender no e com o cotidiano. Compreende-se que a Educação Permanente em Saúde no Brasil vem sendo reconfigurada sob determinadas influências políticas, ideológicas e epistemológicas.

Results: The findings reveal that caring of obstetric nurses is produced in the encounter between their own body and the body of the women under their care.The nursing profession was presented not only as a means of work and support but as an essential device for the training of women as subjects. The collective narrative is marked by the attitude of compassion, by the processes of subjectivity incited by the professional practice, by indicators of critical and political care, and by the construction of an interlocking network among obstetrical nurses. Conclusions and implications for practice: Acting in obstetric nursing results in self-care and care(less) effects of other women.

Metódo: Pesquisa qualitativa, de referencial pós-estruturalista.Dados obtidos de entrevistas em profundidade com 14 enfermeiras obstétricas e submetidos à analítica do discurso, tendo como base conceitual Foucault. Resultados: Os achados revelam que o cuidado para a enfermeira obstétrica é produzido no encontro entre o corpo de si e o corpo das mulheres sob cuidados. A profissão de enfermagem apresentou-se não apenas enquanto meio de trabalho e sustento, mas como importante dispositivo para formação das mulheres enquanto sujeitos. A narrativa coletiva é marcada pela atitude de compaixão, por processos de subjetivação incitados pela prática profissional, por indicativos de um cuidado crítico e político, e pela construção de uma rede de imbricamento entre as enfermeiras obstétricas. Conclusões e implicações para a prática:A atuação em enfermagem obstétrica resulta em efeitos produtores de cuidado de si e de (des)cuidado de outras mulheres. O estudo contribui para a análise e o conhecimento do cenário de vida e de trabalho das enfermeiras obstétricas e a reafirmação do potencial de cuidado presente nas práticas destas mulheres.Palavras-chave: Enfermagem obstétrica; Feminismo; Parto Humanizado; Saúde da Mulher.resumen Objetivo: Analizar los discursos de enfermeras obstétricas sobre su propio cuidado y las decisiones sobre su vida y cuerp...

Objectives: to know the professional trajectory of the black nurse Maria Barbosa Fernandes and to analyze elements of her professional practice based on the cultural competence model of CampinhaBacote. Methods: historical-social study with an analysis of the findings in light of the Cultural Competence model. Results: Maria Barbosa was the first black woman to earn a nursing degree at the Escola de Enfermagem Carlos Chagas (Carlos Chagas Nursing School) (1935-1938), and the documentation about her history allowed us to infer the experience of discrimination and invisibility. However, her professional trajectory was marked by careful attention to the singularities and the sociocultural reality of individuals, with an emphasis on acting in vulnerable scenarios. Final Considerations: the pairing of the theme of black women in nursing with the reference of Cultural Competence consists of an invitation to value diversity in the profession and seek to move towards care committed to overcoming inequalities, through inclusive practices and culturally sensitive care.

Objectives: to analyze the nursing systems of understanding and social inequalities from the perspective of student leaders and representatives of nursing professional organizations. Methods: qualitative research supported by the theoretical framework of Marxist dialectics. Threerepresentatives of professional organizations and five student leaders participated in the study. Datawere obtained from individual interviews and submitted to Critical Discourse Analysis. Results: thediscourses are marked by commitment, relational identification and characterize the position of obligation and necessity of nursing in acting with the individuals in situations of inequality, indicating accountability as a social practice. Among the competencies necessary for nursing in confronting social inequalities, political competence is central and is associated with health advocacy. Final Considerations: we conclude that acting on social inequalities is part of the historical construction of nursing. Here, we emphasized the historical importance of Florence Nightingale and her legacy for political action and leadership in nursing.
