Nursing supervised curricular internship in the Covid-19 pandemic: experience in the program Brasil Conta Comigo

Abstract

Objective: To report the experience of the nursing supervised curricular internship in the program “O Brasil Conta Comigo” carried out in the Covid-19 pandemic. Method: Experience report of activities developed in Primary Health Care in a municipality in the southern region of the state of Goiás during the Covid-19 pandemic, from April to November 2020. Results: The inclusion in the government program allowed the strengthening of the student’s active role in the teaching-learning process and teaching-service approximation, with the student as the point of connection, which resulted in the implementation of actions for the fight against the pandemic in the municipality, such as elaboration, implementation, and evaluation of the service flowchart for people with suspected Covid-19. Conclusion: The experience was successful, as it consolidated knowledge regarding leadership and autonomy, integration between theory and practice, critical thinking, and evidence-based problem solving. The participation in the program allowed for contributions to assistance and management in the actions to combat the new coronavirus in the scope of primary care, as well as for the contribution to the training of the student tutored by nurses in the field and supervised by professors from the federal university of origin.

Conhecimento dos estudantes de enfermagem sobre biossegurança no contexto hospitalar na pandemia: abordagem qualitativa

“…Among the participants, practical and theoretical knowledge was mentioned as an essential biosafety measure, and its deficit was associated with the high numbers of professionals infected by COVID-19. Such findings are in line with the data from a survey, in which students in supervised internships identified the need to delve deeper into the topic; in addition, the importance of implementing safety measures aimed at staff shortages due to illness and at encouraging constant training of professionals to minimize their chances of contamination is highlighted (17,18) . It is also inferred that Nursing students associate PPE with the COVID-19 pandemic, as an indispensable measure for a safe practice, although these measures were essential even before the pandemic context, provided for in laws, standards and protocols.…”
