Comprehensiveness in child healthcare teaching in Undergraduate Nursing: perspective of teachers

This qualitative study analyzed, from the teacher’s perspective, if the principle of comprehensiveness is included in child healthcare teaching in nursing education. The participants were 16 teachers involved in teaching child healthcare in eight undergraduate nursing programs. Data collection was performed through interviews that were submitted to thematic content analysis. The theory in teaching incorporates comprehensive care, as it is based on children’s epidemiological profile, child healthcare policies and programs, and included interventions for the promotion/prevention/rehabilitation in primary health care, hospitals, daycare centers and preschools. The comprehensive conception of health-disease process allows for understanding the child within his/her family and community. However, a contradiction exists between what is proposed and what is practiced, because the teaching is fragmented, without any integration among disciplines, with theory dissociated from practice, and isolated practical teaching that compromises the incorporation of the principle of comprehensiveness in child healthcare teaching

Experimentações no apoio a partir das apostas da Política Nacional de Humanização - HumanizaSUS

Este texto busca narrar e refletir sobre algumas experimentações de apoio institucional, tal como propõe a Política Nacional de Humanização da Atenção e Gestão – HumanizaSUS do Ministério da Saúde, Brasil. O apoio é tomado como método para estranhar relações, saberes, práticas e modos já naturalizados de olhar para o cotidiano do Sistema Único de Saúde. Para tanto, apresenta-se uma contextualização breve sobre a Política Nacional de Humanização e depois algumas situações de apoio são problematizadas para indicar os desafios enfrentados no processo de produção de mudanças na atenção e gestão no Sistema Único de Saúde
