Pediatrics; Hospitalization; Nursing;

Hospitalization is a process that changes the routine of all people who are
hospitalized, particularly children, as they are under different stressful aspects.
Nursing is characterized by being a care profession and in this care process
one of the roles that nursing needs to adopt is health education, as an essential
part of student participation within a teaching hospital. The supervised
internship in Nursing is a moment of knowledge consolidation in which the
student applies in practice what was learned in theory. This Course Completion
Academic Work, of the Professional Master's Degree in Health Teaching at the
Faculty of Medicine of the Federal University of the State of Alagoas - FAMED
consists of two parts: the first is composed of a scientific article resulting from
the research carried out and the second by an educational product. The general
objective of the research was to understand the perception of the nursing
student in relation to the supervised internship in a pediatric hospital service.
This is a descriptive-exploratory study of a qualitative nature, whose setting was
a faculty of nursing at a public university in the state of Alagoas. The research
participants were seven students, six females and one male who were at the
end of the 8th period of the nursing course. Data collection took place through a
focus group that was analyzed using the content analysis technique, according
to Malheiros (2011). Two categories were obtained as results: 1) Expectations
and challenges for the hospital internship in Pediatrics. 2) Criteria for choosing
the supervised hospital nursing internship. Thus, a scientific article was
produced, entitled: “The perception of nursing students in relation to the
supervised internship in a pediatric hospital service”. Based on these results, a
pedagogical workshop entitled: "How can we welcome nursing students?" It is
hoped that this study will be able to contribute to the adherence of students to
the supervised internship in pediatric nursing, improving the reception of nursing
professionals and promoting greater integration between teaching and service
in the hospital environment, forming more qualified and prepared professionals.
to the work environment through the new acquired knowledge.
