Integração em projetos na educação em enfermagem para translação de conhecimento: Um estudo qualitativo

Abstract

Introduction: Due to its importance for the teaching-learning process, nursing supervision during clinical teaching cannot be undervalued, even in a complex situation such as that of the SARS-CoV-2 infection, due to the risk of compromising the students' socialisation, teaching and assessment process, hindering the integration of theory into practice. Goal:  to understand whether the participation in extracurricular activities, which involve a partnership between the nursing school and the hospital, promotes the integration of nursing students in the services where clinical training takes place. Methods: qualitative study. The participants were 13 nurses involved in a project of knowledge transfer to the clinic, in the last semester of their degree. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews between December 2020 and April 2021. Content analysis of the findings was supported by software. Study approved by an Ethics Committee. Results: The following categories emerged: Integration and participation; Motivation; Collaborative work; and Belonging. The feeling of belonging emerges progressively with the integration, opportunities for participation and collaborative work with the clinicians around a goal that is common to all - the knowledge translation project taking place in the service. Conclusions: the existence of an extracurricular activity, with the involvement of researchers, teachers, clinicians and students and with objectives common to all, facilitates integration, increases participation in the service, generates learning opportunities, both in the project and in clinical teaching, allows collaborative work, motivates the student, creates a sense of success and makes them feel they belong to the service.
