The challenge of care teaching from the point of view of the professors of EEUFRGS.

Abstract

The object of this study is teaching and practicing human care. It comprises the third stage of the research on the theme: the challenge of teaching how to care from the point of view of the academic students, nurses and, in this one, the professors of EEUFRGS. It is a qualitative, phenomenological study with Martin Heidegger’s theoretical and philosophical support. The purpose of this stage is knowing/understanding how the theoretical and practical teaching of human care occurs, considering that it is the curricular guidance of the graduation course. The phenomenological analysis evidences that the professors initiate the students’ foundations regarding care from their daily experiences and from the scientific foundation; holistic care characterizes the human care
