ACTIVE METHODOLOGIES IN TEACHING NURSING CARE: INTEGRATED SEMINAR AND TRAINING FOR COMPREHENSIVE CARE

Abstract

The Nursing Care Systematization (NCS) is an essential methodological tool for organizing the work of nurses. In the context of nursing education, the use of active methodologies has stood out as a pedagogical strategy capable of promoting clinical reasoning, critical thinking, and greater integration between theory and practice. This study aims to describe the stages of elaboration and development of an integrated seminar based on active methodology as a strategy for teaching NCS. This work was developed from the application of an interdisciplinary seminar, based on a realistic clinical case involving a pregnant woman with the evolution of gestational diabetes to diabetic ketoacidosis. The activity was structured in four stages: analysis of the clinical case, interdisciplinary theoretical exposition, development of the Nursing Care Systematization, and collective presentation of the results. Nursing students from the first to the eighth semester participated, organized into groups responsible for the elaboration of the NCS using the NANDA-I, NIC, and NOC classifications at different levels of health care. The results showed that the strategy favored the development of clinical reasoning, interdisciplinary integration, collaborative work, and the practical application of standardized nursing languages. It is concluded that the integrated seminar constitutes an effective active methodology for teaching the Nursing Process, strengthening the learning process and contributing to the training of professionals capable of offering comprehensive, humanized, and safe care, aligned with national regulations and current scientific evidence, thus consolidating itself as a strategic tool in nursing education and practice.
