Education in health in the curriculum of a nursing course: learning for teaching.

Abstract

The education in health constitutes the role of the nurse in the different contexts of the work but in practice it has been observed that these actions not always are adequate. It is assumed that one of the causes is the scarce theoretical contribution of the teachers. The objective of this article is reflecting on how a graduation course of nursing has been approaching the health education with its pupils. It is a documental research being the data collected in the teaching plans of the nursing graduatin course. The analysis evidenced that the subject is not approached adequately in all of the disciplines, as it should be. The drawn conclusion is that the education of the nurse must broaden the theoretical information on the practices in health education
