Caring behaviours demonstrated to nursing students in the interpersonal relation with the faculty: A cross sectional study

BACKGROUND

Nursing students need to experience caring in their educational environment in order to learn how to care for the patients.

OBJECTIVE

The present study describes the caring model demonstrated by the faculty to the nursing students through their behaviours, from the perspective of both students and faculty members.

DESIGN

A cross-sectional, descriptive, observational study was conducted.

PARTICIPANTS

The sample included 286 students and faculty members.

METHODS

The Nursing Students' Perceptions of Instructor Caring assessing tool was used to gather the data.

RESULTS

After analysing 676 questionnaires, it was revealed a moderately high level of caring perceived by the students. The most appreciated dimension was control versus flexibility, reporting a mean value of 82.29 and a confidence interval from 81.14 to 83.44, and the least valued was appreciation of life's meanings, reporting a mean value of 63.90 and a confidence interval from 62.20 to 65.60. The students' perception of the care demonstrated by the faculty was significantly lower than the care that the latter believed to transmit in all dimensions (p < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS

The caring perceived by the student was expressed through behaviours that inspired confidence in them, promoted a climate of learning and support, helped them to recognise the meaning of life, showed them flexibility and fostered their professional autonomy. The findings of this study can help to improve nursing education by providing a view of the interpersonal relations that the students established during their training with the faculty.

[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.

A experiência do professor orientador de estudante indígena em enfermagem

O Programa Permanente de Acompanhamento dos Estudantes Indígenas (PPAEIND) visa a atender estudantes indígenas do Estado de Mato Grosso (MT) que ingressarem na Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso (UFMT) em cursos de Graduação por meio de processo seletivo específico e diferenciado. O programa prevê o Professor Orientador como elo do indígena com a universidade e os alunos não indígenas. Este é um relato de experiência do Professor Orientador no Curso de Enfermagem no Campus de Rondonópolis onde foram preenchidas duas vagas por alunos indígenas em 2007. A experiência para atuar como Professor Orientador teve como desafio a diversidade cultural em relação aos saberes do cuidado. A comunicação terapêutica foi um instrumento efetivo no processo.
