Integração ensino e serviço de saúde: qual a contribuição do estágio curricular da graduação de enfermagem na qualificação da assistência?

Abstract

The need to train professionals focused on SUS requirements emerged in university courses, focused on the training of the nurse. From this perspective after the elaboration of the National Curriculum Guidelines by the Ministry of the Education and Culture, the supervised curricular internship has assumed a key role in the training process in higher education. The teaching-service-community articulation appears as an important strategy for an effective integration between theory and practice, and must also be at the service of reflection on reality, allowing the student to prepare criticism and seek appropriate solutions to the health problems encountered. The Supervise Curricular Internship should be a space where the opportunities experienced must be to the student not only a moment of learning and understanding of the professional world, but a contribution to the effective and qualified promotion of the health of the assisted patient. The present work for the conclusion of the Professional Master’s Degree in Health Education is composed of a research and an intervention product on the subject. The research aimed to analyze the perception of the nurses in the emergency sector as regards the contribution of the supervised traineeship as a qualifier of the assistance. A qualitative and descriptive study used semistructured interviews and content analysis, with ten emergency nurses from public general hospital in Brasilian Northeast. The questionnaire addressed issues such as: The student’s contribution to patient care, the role of the emergency nurse in training the trainee, the structuring of the internship activities and suggestions for the organization of it. The data produced were processed, according to the content analysis in the thematic modality, in agreement with Bardin (2011) and Malheiros (2011). As results emerged some categories such as: Contribution of supervised curricular internship to patient care; Contribution of supervised curricular internship to the student’s training process and the red area nurse and; the challenge of integrating teaching and health service in the qualification of care. We confirmed some failures in the conduct, both in the planning and execution of the supervised curricular internship, by disarticulation of the teaching and health service, as well as the lack of adoption of a methodology of indicators that enable the assessment of the supervised curricular internship. The contribution of the supervised curricular internship arises in fact, both in the student’s formative process, as in the updating of the professional service. However, the contribution to patient health promotion, although evidenced in professional discourses, remains in a subjective sphere. The results from this research allowed the production of a product “1st Week of Integration of Teaching and Health Service of the Supervised Curricular Internship”. The Week was developed through an articulation of teaching and health service, by targeting students in the supervised curricular internship, with the objective of awakening to integration in planning, implementation and development of a methodology to analyze the supervised curricular internship and its practice in care.
