Abstract

This inquiry has been carried out among professors in the Nursing program from Institutions of Higher Education in the State of Paraná. It aimed at investigating the teaching process of Health Care Assistance Methodology for Nursing, by promoting and opening possibilities for interchange among these professors by means of a Forum. Data were collected through a semistructured questionnaire sent by regular mail, fax, and email. The sample consists of 17 instruments answered by professors representing 8 educational institutions. These data have shown how relevant the teaching of Health Care Assistance Methodology for Nursing is, but its concept still poses disagreements. It points out the theoretical reference the professors carry, the pedagogical methodologies they use, and the articulation between theory and practice.
