Abstract:
Introduction:
The clinical practice teaching process in training nurses in a nursing graduate course at a private university has been carried out in part by nurses serving at health institutions as another work option, with limited time to dedicate to teaching.
Objective:
In this study, the objective was to learn about the theoretical nursing references used in the process of teaching this practice by service nurses.
Methods:
Qualitative research was chosen, using hermeutics for interpreting the data. As an analysis reference, the Meleis (1997) proposal was adopted, according to the characteristics of three schools of thought: needs; interaction and results, in the domains of vision, focus, goals, problems and therapeutics.
Results:
Ten teachers were interviewed, nurses at health institutions, all of them females, in the 38 to 48 year age group with between two and twelve years teaching time at the institution. The majority graduated between 19 and 25 years ago and had attained higher academic degrees in specializations. Three categories emerged as theoretical nursing references used in the clinical practice teaching process that were related to the schools of thought: to Needs, emphasizing the principles of the “Basic Human Needs” theory; Interaction, identifying the principles of the “Nurse-Patient Interpersonal Relations” theory; and Results, highlighting the “Four Principles of Conservation” theory.
Conclusions:
A diversified approach expressed by the nurses in health institutions was established in this scenario, contributing the possibility of discussing proposals for the joint establishment of theoretical references to base the conception to be adopted in establishing a clinical practice teaching process in training nurses.
