ABSTRACT
Introduction: Preceptorship is defined as teaching-assistance supervision by specific area of activity or professional specialty, aimed at health professionals who have completed an undergraduate course and at least three years of experience. Objective: to analyze the perspective of the nurse-preceptor and the resident regarding the Nursing Residency Program in neonatology of a public school maternity hospital. Methods: descriptive study with a qualitative approach of the case study type, with an exploratory characteristic. The research instrument was through individual interviews through a semi-structured script, with 09 participants among residents and preceptors. The data obtained were transcribed and interpreted according to content analysis by Bardin and Minayo. Based on the results, four analytical categories were created: 1) Competencies of the preceptor; 2) Potentialities found in preceptorship; 3) Difficulties in preceptorship and 4) Challenges during the pandemic in preceptorship. Results: strengths and weaknesses were observed in terms of teaching and learning in nursing residency in neonatology. The need to involve everyone who is part of the preceptorship in the search to collaborate with democratic proposals to build quality service learning and incentive to strengthen the preceptor. The preceptor needs to know his role, how to develop, actively participate in permanent education and collaborate with teaching in the formation of strategies that aim to achieve the preceptorship's objectives. Education is the responsibility of everyone involved in this process. There is a need for periodic discussion of factors that contribute to decision-making for the category of preceptors and support advances to be implemented. Final considerations: it is understood that teaching in service demands time, updates and support for preceptors, greater involvement of educational and health institutions, and appreciation of this class of professionals who develop assistance in parallel with teaching, providing guidance for future specialists . The contribution of those involved in the development of the practice brought dynamic updates and necessary cooperation for preceptors and residents, aiming to strengthen in-service teaching. We believe that the research results will be able to contribute to dialogues about the formation of the Nurse-Neotalogist, making this an instrument that facilitates and instigates in-service teaching.
