APLICACIÓN DEL PRINCIPIO DE INTEGRIDAD EN LOS CURSOS TÉCNICOS EN ENFERMERÍA DE LAS ESCUELAS DE LA RED DEL SUS

ABSTRACT

Objective:

to understand how the coordinators of technical schools in the Unified Health System perceive the application of the integrality principle in the training process of nursing technicians.

Method:

qualitative research through the Collective Subject Discourse, involving 12 coordinators of technical nursing courses taught at technical schools of the Unified Health System.

Results:

two categories emerged from the analysis of the data: Teaching bond and difficulty to insert the integrality principle; and Weaknesses and potentials of student workers related to the integrality principle.

Conclusion:

according to the coordinators of the technical schools in the Unified Health System, the development of the integrality principle is an urgent need; and there are difficulties to structure it concerning the casualization of teaching work and resistance to change by the students workers. In contrast, the fact that these students are already inserted in practice seems to facilitate the understanding of the importance of continuously developing these principles.
