Toward the consolidation of the nursery paradigms through the teaching universalization

Abstract

The following reflections, result of the daily practice of teaching and learning about care given by the nursery staff in the Primary Health Care, are supposed to reveal the importance of building and validating knowledge that allowed nursery to develop as a profession, matter and science, to which knowledge it is necessary to approach the different paradigms and conceptions that have impelled its development at the same time with other sciences. In Cuba, there have being qualitative changes in teaching from the beginning of the revolutionary period up to the down of the new millennium with the teaching universalization in Medical Sciences, allowing to contextualize the formation of new human resources in nursery focused in health preventing and promoting. Inside this changing context, the university in the university policlinics has taken on the commitments of analyzing the bio-psycho-social problems and of giving, in its dialectic relation with the community, viable solutions to them; they have also the commitment of building processes directed to redesign settings where the nursery staff could transform the reality of the preventive medicine, with a strengthened professional identity and a development based in the self knowledge.
