Percepção dos docentes frente ao ensino da prática em enfermagem diante à covid-19

Abstract

Objective: To understand the perspective of nursing professors at Unicesumar in order to identify the main difficulties related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Methodology: A descriptive-qualitative study was conducted using a question guide directed to nursing professors belonging to the internship field of an institution of Higher Education in Nursing. The Meet® platform was used for the interviews in August 2021, and the Bardin method was used for the analysis. The question guide inquired about the time of training and professional experience, feelings regarding professional preparation for patient care with COVID-19 and about the changes in the work process and in the internship field occasioned by the pandemic. Results: The research participants totaling 6 nursing professionals active in the internship fields, with an average period of performance of approximately 11 years, of which 5 of them feel prepared for nursing practice, 3 have the need to reinvent the teaching method and foresee loss in teaching or access to education, and 3 of the teachers have already had loss with activities due to the pandemic. Two thematic categories were identified: Professional preparation facing the Covid-19; Teachers Perceptions about the changes in the internship routine caused by the pandemic. Final Considerations: It is evident that even with years of experience and feeling able and prepared to deal with the situation, the teachers at the same time, do not interpret the difficulties as obstacles; and see the need to reinvent themselves or change the work approach.
