Utilização de Metodologia Ativa para Abordagem da Significância da Vacinação - experiência discente.

Abstract

This student experience narrative reports on an educational intervention carried out by Nursing students at a pediatric outpatient clinic of a Tertiary University Hospital in the interior of the State of Minas Gerais, in the Triângulo Mineiro. The objective was to narrate the experience of nursing students in raising awareness among parents and children about the importance of childhood vaccination. The methodology adopted was Problem-Based Learning, using the Maguerez Arc method as a guide for planning and executing the interventions. Dynamic and didactic methods were employed, such as the game "Myths or Truths" and stories for children, to promote a better understanding of the importance of vaccination and immunization for the general population. The results showed that there was awareness and understanding among the participants, highlighting the potential of active methodologies in affirming and transforming the understanding of vaccination. Interaction with the community provided significant development of the students' skills and promoted an exchange of knowledge between them and the participants. This initiative emphasizes the importance of integration and collaboration to spread awareness of public health issues, especially vaccination, and to promote efficient and long-lasting education.
