PENSAMENTO CRÍTICO NA FORMAÇÃO DO ENFERMEIRO: CONSTRUÇÃO DE CAPACIDADES NA PRÁTICA PROFISSIONAL

Abstract

Introduction: The change in health’s professionals training, including nurses, has become urgent due to various social, environmental, epidemiological and health determinants. The constitution of critical thinking in professional practice, from a dialectical perspective, promoting the emancipation of subjects during training, becomes powerful and strengthens the initiatives to face contemporary and societal challenges. Objective: to analyze the representation of teachers, preceptors, and students about the constitution of capabilities in nurses’ professional practice through critical thinking when developing the competence profile during training. Methods: qualitative, interview with 24 professors, 09 preceptors and 15 students for reconstruction of the competence profile in the 1st phase of data collection and in the 2nd phase workshop for validation of profile, identification of challenges and proposals. The collective subject discourse was used to analyze the interviews and the referential of holistic competence in the reconstruction of the profile. Results: It is deduced that, the curriculum proposal works beyond making certain and evidence-based decisions. It is necessary to consider the different views of situations, recognize how each student reacts, identifies and works with his emotions, builds dialogue among peers, and works collectively to solve problems, always in a co-responsible and ethical way. There is the challenge of deconstructing competitiveness and individualism to be analyzed and overcome. Conclusions: the research strategies, through interviews and the workshop, by providing a space for reflection and dialogue, enabled the delimitation of which capabilities are mobilized in practice, established in the competence profile of the professional to be trained in the institution, and how to develop them through critical thinking.
