Teaching Methods

It has the pedagogical supervision of a teacher, students do Clinical Teaching in units/services, preferably with training suitability, by the Ordem dos Enfermeiros, supervised by Clinical Supervisors Nurses, preferably with increased skills in clinical supervision. The activities are centered on the observation and collection of information necessary for the provision of nursing care, analysis of information to define diagnoses, care planning, execution and evaluation.

Quantification method: direct provision of care 70%; reflections on the practice of care and the care process for the person and/or family 30%. Approval implies obtaining a classification equal to or greater than 9.5 in each of the components (community and psychiatry) resulting from the average of the two.

Assessment

With pedagogical supervision from a lecturer, students carry out Clinical Teaching (CT) in units supervised by Nurses, preferably with clinical supervision skills. Activities focus on observation, data collection, and analysis necessary for defining diagnoses, planning, executing, and evaluating care. In continuous assessment, community and psychiatry contexts will have separate evaluations. Formative and summative assessments will be conducted. Care provision 70%; care process 15%, and reflection 15%. Approval with a grade equal to or greater than 9.5 in each context, as well as in the clinical and conceptual components. The final grade is the arithmetic average of the two contexts. Students who fail in one of the CT components, with a positive evaluation in the other, only repeat the one in which they did not pass. The Course Jury retains the grade of the completed component for 2 years; after that, the student completes the CT in its entirety (paragraph 7, Art. 105, RAUE).
