PERCEPÇÃO DE ALUNOS E PROFESSORES DE ENFERMAGEM QUANTO AO DESENVOLVIMENTO DA COMPETÊNCIA ATENÇÃO À SAÚDE
Abstract
The present paper analyses the role of the Supervised Curricular Internship in the development of "Attention to Health", one of the basic competences to be developed by a Nursing graduation course, according to the "National Curricular Guidelines". It is a qualitative and quantitative case study, where the subjects were the actors involved in the dynamics of the internship: last-year undergraduates and lecturers. Data was collect through a semi-structured questionnaire, which generated subjective and objective data, examined via descriptive statistics and via contents analysis. The conclusion is that both last-year undergraduates and lecturers believe that the above mentioned competence was developed during the internship. Three of the actions normally performed in the daily practice of the internship had a significant impact in the development of "Attention to Health": the relationship with other services within the Healthcare system, the solution of individual and/or collective problems, and technical activities. The data collected shows that the development of competences goes beyond the performing of repetitive actions
