NURSING COURSE UPDATE IN HOSPITAL - SCHOOL. SUMMARY OF THE SERVICE-LEARNING INTEGRATION

Abstract

An exploratory and descriptive investigation, with a a qualitative approach, undertaken with the help of 9 nurseteachers and 17 nurses that taught classes in a course of nursing in 2010 for workers in a nursing school in the South of Brazil. The objective was to evaluate the service and teaching integration, seen through the perspective of the intructors (nurse-teachers and nurses). The data was compiled in 2011, through the participation of a questionnaire that consisted of closed-ended questions and an open question: How do you evaluate the course about the integration between nurses-teachers and nurses? For the data analysis, the technique of content analysis was used. The results were organized into two groups: the profile of the group (instructors of the course), which included social and demographic information; and the second group, had to do with the benefits, and the evaluation of the course in relation to the integration of the teaching and service in the vision of the instructors. It is taken into consideration that this course promoted the integration of service and teaching, but there are still divergences that need to be discussed.
