Problem-Based Learning in Teaching of Thanatology in Undergraduate Nursing Program

Abstract

Objectives: To report a methodological experience of learning-based on problems in the discipline of Thanatology. Method: Experience report of professors of the baccalaureate degree in nursing using problem situations influenced by the methodology of questioning and problem-based learning. Results: The elaboration of three problem situations broadened the development of the formative process in Thanatology, favored reflections during the program of the discipline and approached the theory of real situations experienced by the students. Conclusions and implications for practice: This methodology was assessed as a viable and low-cost strategy in promoting empowerment on issues of death and dying. In addition, students self-assessed as reflective agents and builders of their own personal and professional growth.

Simulação realística como ferramenta de ensino na comunicação de situação crítica em cuidados paliativos

“…13 Faced with such situations, in university practice, simulations and other educational strategies have provided the student with an approximation to reality, instrumentalizing these students and future professionals to care for patients and families in critical and palliative care situations, perpetuating learning and providing opportunities for professional growth.

Strengths and Weaknesses to Face the Dying and Death Process: Students' Reflections

“…It is believed that nurses, when aware of their emotions, recognizing limits and potentialities, have better preparation to deal with the suffering of the other, showing sensitivity, support and identity of the role, without developing mental suffering for such a behavior. 18 When an authentic way of being is acquired, the students begin to glimpse the valuation of the request in the entire context of the academic practice in Nursing, always trying to act to relief the suffering of the others. 19 Additionally, recognizing an emotionally distant and insensitive personality as defense mechanisms makes them distance themselves from death, probably as a form of denial; one student even stated that he chose his Professional Internship in a unit where "there was not so much death".…”

Avaliação Dos Efeitos Da Doença Renal Na Vida Diária De Pacientes Em Terapia Renal Substitutiva (Trs) No Município De Ponta Grossa/Pr

“…Destarte, proporcionam diálogos perfunctórios sobre a temática de tanatologia e cuidados paliativos, em virtude da priorização do intervencionismo e curativismo. A carga horária limitada para abordar essa temática, acarreta uma lacuna na qualificação dos profissionais e evidencia necessidade de uma sensibilização desde o período da graduação, para que se tenha proporcionalidade entre o aporte teórico e inteligência emocional, a fim de proporcionar uma assistência satisfatória ao paciente e seus familiares (SAMPAIO et al, 2018;MOURA et al, 2018).…”
