Resumo: Background: Action-research encompasses a set of processes and techniques that contribute to a cycle of change and reflection, proving challenging in nursing research. Objective: to map nursing doctoral theses with a methodological approach to action-research in Portugal. Materials and methods: Documentary research, with access to 275 doctoral theses, carried out until  2021, available in the open digital repositories of Portuguese universities, with the action-research method identified as the method used. Results: 21 doctoral theses were identified with research studies with a research-action methodological approach, and the analysis performed considered: a) participants - mostly adults and elderly, b) level of participation - mostly collaborative, c) area of health care – mostly the medical-surgical nursing area, d) context – primarily hospital, e) model used – most studies do not specify a model, and f) data collection techniques – the use of questionnaires and semi-structured interviews stands out. Conclusion: Research using the action-research method, still in a small percentage, allows reflection on action and change in real contexts, becoming of great relevance for nursing, in the evolution of knowledge as a discipline, as well as for improving the quality of care.

Objetivo: Mapear as teses de doutoramento em enfermagem de abordagem metodológica de investigação-ação em Portugal. Materiais e Métodos: Investigação documental, com acesso a 275 teses de doutoramento em Enfermagem, realizadas em Portugal até 2021, disponíveis nos repositórios digitais abertos das universidades portuguesas, com o método de investigação-ação identificado como método utilizado. Resultados: Identificaram-se 21 teses de doutoramento com estudos de investigação de abordagem metodológica investigação-ação, sendo que a análise realizada teve em conta: a) participantes – maioritariamente adulto e idoso, b) nível de participação – maioritariamente colaborativa, c) área de cuidados de saúde – maioritariamente a área de enfermagem médico-cirúrgica, d) contexto – rimordialmente hospitalar, e) modelo utilizado – ausente na maioria dos estudos, e f) técnicas de recolha de dados – destaca-se o uso de questionários e entrevistas semiestruturadas. Conclusão: A investigação com recurso ao método de investigação-ação, ainda que em percentagem reduzida, permite a reflexão sobre a ação e mudança em contextos reais, na evolução do conhecimento enquanto disciplina, bem como para a melhoria da qualidade dos cuidados.Universidade Católica Portuguesa2022-07-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34632/cadernosdesaude.2022.11420https://doi.org/10.34632/cadernosdesaude.2022.11420Cadernos de Saúde; Vol 14 No 2 (2022); 38-47Cadernos de Saúde; v. 14 n. 2 (2022); 38-472795-43581647-055910.34632/cadernosdesaude.2022.14.2reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revistas.ucp.pt/index.php/cadernosdesaude/article/view/11420https://revistas.ucp.pt/index.php/cadernosdesaude/article/view/11420/11324Direitos de Autor (c) 2022 Ana Isabel Leal Maurício Gonçalves Gonçalves Martins, Patrícia Pontífice Sousa, Rita Margarida Marqueshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMartins, Ana Isabel Leal Maurício GonçalvesSousa, Patrícia PontíficeMarques, Rita Margarida2023-10-03T15:48:09Zoai:ojs.revistas.ucp.pt:article/11420Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T20:33:13.519686Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
