Abstract

Objective: Analyze the contribution of a Nurse residency specialization program to the graduates' professional know-how. Methods: Qualitative research, involving 40 nurses graduated from a residency specialization program. Interviews were held, transcribed and analyzed using thematic content analysis. Results: The information was grouped according to similarity in two categories: (1) development of professional know-how and (2) deductive/inductive education. Based on the first, it was identified that the course provided the following contributions: theoretical foundations in the accomplishment of the practices, safety in the development of work and professional identity. The second showed the course's contributions as an expanded view on care beyond the biological and the preparation of a trained professional. Conclusion: The course contributed to the development of the graduates' professional knowledge by deepening the technical-scientific knowledge in a rational, critical and reflexive manner, based on deductive/ inductive education.
