Summary
Historical transformations in the areas of Education and Health in their political, economic and social contexts have resulted in important changes in Nursing education in Brazil. Since 2001, with the implementation of the National Curricular Guidelines of the Undergraduate Nursing Course (DCN / ENF), the teaching of the profession began to be based on the promotion of meaningful and transformative learning in order to meet the needs of the Single System of Health (SUS) in Brazil[1,2,3]. The DCN / ENF encourages the formation of professionals with a generalist, humanistic, critical and reflexive profile capable of recognizing, diagnosing, planning and assisting the individual and the community in the most prevalent health and disease situations according to the national and regional epidemiological profile[3]. Recent data show a global rate of 390 million dengue infections annually, of which 96 million were manifested at any level of clinical severity[7]
