O papel do preceptor na formação integral do técnico em enfermagem

Abstract

This research results from my concern as a Nursing professional who works in Professional and Technological Education (PTE). It emerges from my perception as an internship preceptor of students of nursing technicians, lacking a pedagogical preparation for the exercise of teaching and facing challenges to exercise preceptorship in initial training as a bachelor. Subsequently, with the accomplishment of this study, we can see that this perception is not exclusively from the author, it is reproduced and presented equally in the view of the other preceptors interviewed.The general objective of the study was, from the conceptual bases of the PTE, to investigate the modeling and performance of the preceptors of a training course for nursing technicians, raising subsidies to prepare a practical manual for pedagogical guidance.The result of this research is a pedagogical guidelines manual for the practice of preceptorship in nursing. This manual aims to reduce difficulties faced by these professionals in the practice fields, assisting them pedagogically and to substantiate a reference for the formation of nurses who wish to enter the preceptor career.It is relevant to emphasize that the principles of PTE were incorporated into our hypotheses and the objectives of this research, especially the work with educational principle. This is a qualitative study where we use the techniques of the case study because it enables us to study a specific group with characteristics of their actors, the preceptors.As a methodological resource we use the application of questionnaires for data collection, analysis of them to meet the general and specific objectives. We conclude with this research that, in fact, there is currently no pedagogical training for professionals who work as preceptors; that pedagogical formation is relevant to professionals who act as preceptors and that their absence impacts the teaching-learning process of interns, confirming the hypotheses of this study.
