Fortalecimento da identidade do enfermeiro-professor: desafios da formação e docência

Abstract

Introduction The Nurse-Teacher’s role has expanded over time. However, there are not enough scientific studies that discuss the training of this professional and the strengthening of his identity in this working field. There is also a deficit in the proposal of guiding actions as well as public policies for his training. Objective: To discuss the training of the Nurse-Teacher who works in Nursing Courses aimed at facing current challenges, as well as changes in the role of this professional. Method: This is a bibliographic and documental review study with a survey in the Lattes curricula of teachers of a public professional high school on Nursing in Minas Gerais-Brazil, carried out between February and April 2022.Results: The state of the art has shown the changes in the training process of the nurse as well as the challenges teaching brings. The document analysis showed a teacher training with the predominance of specific knowledge in the field of health sciences and, as a consequence, the low training investment in theories and didactic-pedagogical practices, demonstrating the lack of teaching articulation for professional education and assistance in an integrated and balanced way. Conclusion: Strengthening the Nurse-Teacher’s identity, as well as his training process, confirms the role of health and education and avoids setbacks in these public policies. New researches and publications are necessary, as well as the strengthening of the already existing public policies in this area in order to motivate undergraduate and graduate Nursing students so that they can assume these spaces in the working field.
