Abstract
to understand the challenges of introducing gender debate in nursing training from undergraduate students' perspective. a qualitative, exploratory-explanatory study. Data were collected through a semi-structured interview applied to 12 undergraduate nursing students at a public university in São Paulo. For data treatment and analysis, the Discourse of the Collective Subject was used in light of Boaventura de Sousa Santos' knowledge production paradigm theoretical framework. nursing education remains centered on the traditional scientific model, neglecting gender and strengthening stereotypes aimed at the feminization of the profession. nursing training has a challenge of implementing actions that deepen the gender theme. Therefore, some strategies are suggested, such as improving professor training and appropriating emancipatory pedagogical practices; reviewing pedagogical political projects; curriculum theorization and restructuring; problematizing gender issues for nursing leadership.
Highlights
Nursing, as a science and social practice that favors care, has historically constituted itself as a profession with the power to lead processes to face inequities in health in a world context of wars, social conflicts, violence and ethnic, gender, religious and political intolerances and sexual orientation, in addition to crises in public health and health systems, with epidemics and pandemics
In 2020, this power gained prominence and was intensified by the Nursing campaign, promoted by the World Health Organization (WHO) and supported in Brazil by the Federal Nursing Council (COFEN – Conselho Federal de Enfermagem) and Escola de Enfermagem de Ribeirão Preto, Universidade de São Paulo (EERP -USP), which highlights that the scientific body and the social practice of nursing are strategic in qualifying and valuing the profession globally
The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP) and complied with all current ethical and legal precepts of research conducted with human beings that are contained in Resolution 466/2012 and 510/2016 of the Brazilian National Health Council (Conselho Nacional de Saúde)
Summary
As a science and social practice that favors care, has historically constituted itself as a profession with the power to lead processes to face inequities in health in a world context of wars, social conflicts, violence and ethnic, gender, religious and political intolerances and sexual orientation, in addition to crises in public health and health systems, with epidemics and pandemics. In 2020, this power gained prominence and was intensified by the Nursing campaign, promoted by the World Health Organization (WHO) and supported in Brazil by the Federal Nursing Council (COFEN – Conselho Federal de Enfermagem) and Escola de Enfermagem de Ribeirão Preto, Universidade de São Paulo (EERP -USP), which highlights that the scientific body and the social practice of nursing are strategic in qualifying and valuing the profession globally. Despite presenting itself as strategic in tackling inequities, the scientific and social expansion of nursing is emerging, to improve care for individuals, families and communities, but to understand the career path and the paths taken, in addition to collaborating to the shift from the dominant training paradigm, characterized by the biomedical approach, to the emerging paradigm of transforming health practices[2]
