Sensibility in the Relations and Interactions of Teaching and Learning to Be and Do Nursing

Abstract

This qualitative study focused on proxemic feelings and feelings of detachment and ambiguity among professors-nurses concerning their experiences. This study aimed to reveal the meanings of sensibility held by being-professor-nurse in teaching and learning to be and do nursing. The theoretical-philosophical support is based on Merleau-Ponty's existential phenomenological approach and the hermeneutics phenomenology of Paul Ricoeur was used. Nineteen professors-nurses from a Higher Education institution in the South of Brazil were interviewed between November and December 2006. Sensibility was revealed as the capacity to observe details in order to intervene in a situation the best way possible, and also as a way to break with exclusive models of the cognitive-instrumental rationality of science and technique, since sensibility is the basis for developing other ways of teaching and learning to be and do Nursing. observar os detalhes para intervir numa situação, da melhor forma possível, também como maneira de criar rupturas com modelos exclusivos da racionalidade cognitivoinstrumental da ciência e da técnica, porque é a base para desenvolver outras maneiras de ensinar e aprender a ser e fazer Enfermagem.Descritores: Filosofia; Pesquisa Qualitativa; Educação em Enfermagem. La sensibilidad en las relaciones e interacciones entre el enseñar y aprender a ser y el hacer enfermeríaEsta es una investigación cualitativa, enfocando los sentimientos de proxemia, de distanciamiento y de ambigüedad de los docentes enfermeros/as a partir de lo vivido. El objetivo es revelar los significados de la sensibilidad para el ser-docente-enfermero/a en el enseñar y aprender a ser y hacer Enfermería. El soporte teórico filosófico se fundamentó en el abordaje fenomenológico de Maurice Merleau-Ponty y, como recurso metodológico, se utilizó la hermenéutica fenomenológica de Paul Ricoeur. Fueron entrevistados diecinueve docentes enfermeros/as de una institución de enseñanza superior pública del sur del país, en los meses de noviembre y diciembre de 2006. La sensibilidad se reveló como la capacidad de observar los detalles para intervenir en una situación, de la mejor forma posible, también como manera de crear rupturas con modelos exclusivos de racionalidad cognitiva instrumental de la ciencia y de la técnica, porque es la base para desarrollar otras maneras de enseñar y aprender a ser y hacer Enfermería.Descriptores: Filosofia; Investigación Cualitativa; Educación en Enfermería. IntroductionBecause teaching and learning to be and do nursing is a human and also inter-subjective relation, it is part of the being-professor-nurse's singularity, which therefore, allows other ways of teaching to be uncovered.Reflecting about the context experienced by the being-professor-nurse in view of the complexity of activities in Nursing Undergraduate Programs, we perceived the time and effort spent within technical rationality to the detriment of aesthetic rationality.Technical rationality is related to the traditional pedagogical conception, which is foc...

Emotional competencies in the process of teaching and learning in nursing, from the perspective of the neurosciences

“…Relational competence has been the object of study in pedagogical practice in nursing, revealing that student nurses consider it to be essential for quality care (12) . We also verified that there are studies carried out by nurses, which discuss the teacher's sensitivity and expressiveness, denoting the growing interest in subjective aspects which permeate these professionals' practice (13)(14) . We also found a study dealing with nurses' emotional competence, with a perspective a little more diverse than that proposed here, that is, we observed that the framework of the neurosciences has been 668 www.eerp.usp.br/rlae (15) .…”

“…In nursing, HEIs play an important role teaching future professionals, and it is crucial to have investments for developing skills to bring forth creativity and ability to change the realities of local and global health, as well as its practices in different complexity levels of health care, with responsibility and commitment (3) . In the current context, professors have been constantly challenged to turn learning spaces into substantial experiences, capable of sharpening the students' perceptive capacity, sensitiveness, intuition, imagination, and creativity, thus helping them become more than mere task makers (4) . For the learning field, simulation has its theoretical ground based on meaningful learning, as proposed by David Ausubel in the 1960s.…”
