Structuring of a Proposal for the Nursing Process Theoretical and Methodological Basis: Professors’ Motivations

Abstract

Objective: to describe the motivations that mobilize professors-nurses in the construction of a proposal for the theoretical and methodological basis for the Nursing Process teaching. Method: a Convergent Assistential research, conducted with professors-nurses. Six convergence groups were developed, with triggering questions on the theme. The reports were audio-recorded, validated by the participants and analyzed in the light of the Convergent Assistance Research. Results: there are three thematic approaches: professors' perception of the nurses' professional practices; dissatisfaction with the current health model; and dissatisfaction with the current teaching model. The thematic approaches reveal the motivation to overcome biomedical/cartesian practices in teaching and nursing care, which converges to the development of a proposal with a philosophical, theoretical and methodological framework for the Nursing Process teaching, aligned with the assumptions of the Unified Health System and consistent with health expanded clinic. Conclusion: this study allowed for the expression of concerns and discomforts with the current model of education and health, triggering reflections on the paradigm that guides the field of health teaching and dominates our life in society. The results reveal what is desired in the health scenario, as educating individuals and society, enhancing the perspective of social changes in the health sector, acclaimed and desired politically and socially, basing the development of philosophical, theoretical and methodological proposals for nursing care, consistent with society's current demands.

Processo de Enfermagem como potencializador da prática da acupuntura

“…The Nursing Process is a priority tool for the development of nursing care, it structures the scientific scope of the profession, unifies the language, promotes autonomy and qualifies the care provided to users. 18 In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Energy Diagnosis is of fundamental importance for the practice of acupuncture. In a nursing consultation, the acupuncture nurse can and should make use of both diagnoses.…”

Evaluation of care technology applied to the nursing process in the light of best practices

“…Indo além, na perspectiva de reforçar a aliança que se estabelece entre ensino-serviço, em estudo que descreve as motivações que mobilizam docentes de enfermagem na elaboração de um referencial teórico--metodológico para embasar o ensino do processo de enfermagem, observou-se a necessidade de mudanças no processo de ensino e aprendizagem, como guias para as melhores práticas profissionais, na medida em que estas precisam responder às demandas éticas e da dignidade da sociedade e dos serviços (17) .…”

The importance of logical thinking for clinical nursing care

“…For explanatory purposes, a study showed that most Brazilian nurses perceived NCS and NP as important, but effective application of these processes in the practice of clinical care is still a gap to be overcome. Similarly, another study in Brazil reported that nursing professors advocated the need for inclusion of a theoretical-philosophical, historical and dialectical proposal in an undergraduate course, supporting a broadened understanding of the NP and its responsible operationalization and using consistent references and robust scientific evidence, based on nurses' practices in health services and on the current teaching model (15) .…”
