Nutritional care from the nursing teacher’s point of view
Keywords:
feeding, faculty nursing, nutrition, nursing faculty practice, health-educationAbstract
Objective
To identify the perceptions and practices of teachers from an undergraduate nursing course with respect to
the teaching of nutrition, as a subsidy to pedagogical proposals.
Methods
The survey was carried out in a private university in the state of Sao Paulo with the participation of thirteen
teachers, employing qualitative methodology by means of a questionnaire in the first stage. In the second
stage, the focus group technique was employed with the participation of five teachers.
Results
The teaching of nutrition in the undergraduate courses of the nursing teachers did not contemplate the
demands of professional practice. They consider there has been a decline in the quality of nutritional care in
recent years and have difficulty with respect to such care both in the hospital and in the public health area.
They also have difficulty with teamwork.
Conclusion
The group discussion created a propitious atmosphere for discussing the problem of the professional practice
of nursing as related to nutritional care, propitiating self-criticism concerning their partnership with other
health professionals. The teaching of nutrition should contemplate topics such as care/caring and
interdisciplinarity so as to better prepare the student for practice.
