Resumo: The purpose of this study was to comprehend what nursing students understand about human suffering in illness, and how they experience it during the Nursing Program. A qualitative study with content analysis was conducted. The data were collected through questionnaires with open-ended questions and interviews. The participants were 31 Nursing Students of a Public University in São Paulo, Brazil, who had agreed to participate in the study. The results disclosed four main categories: recognizing suffering, witnessing and living (nursing behaviors), responding to and reflecting on suffering. The conclusions show that the student recognizes sources that not only cause suffering in patients, but also in the families. The main learning source in the students´ experience about human suffering is the observation of the clinical nurses´ actions in the midst of suffering. The students identify behaviors in which the nurse may either get closer to the patient and family or apart from them; at the same time, when the students have the possibility of acting in suffering, they seek to do it in order to get closer to the patient and family. The study also revealed that suffering as a subject of study in the nursing program appears randomly, depending on the experience of the students in clinical practice, and that the students usually do not feel well prepared to deal with human suffering, indicating the need of theoretical-practical content that addresses specifically human suffering in nursing education.

Utilizando el enfoque cualitativo de análisis de contenido, los datos fueron recogidos a través de formularios con cuestiones abiertas y entrevistas. Los participantes fueron 31 estudiantes de Enfermería que estuvieron de acuerdo en participar en este estudio. Los resultados revelaron cuatro categorías: reconociendo el sufrimiento, siendo testigo y experimentando (comportamientos de cuidar), respondiendo al sufrimiento y reflexionando sobre éste. Las conclusiones apuntan que el alumno reconoce fuentes que causan sufrimiento no sólo en los pacientes sino también en las familias y que la principal fuente de aprendizaje del alumno sobre el sufrimiento humano es la observación que el estudiante hace del enfermero que está en una situación de sufrimiento, done el alumno identifica comportamientos que aproximan o alejan al enfermero del sufrimiento vivido por el paciente y la familia; al mismo tiempo, cuando el alumno tiene la posibilidad de actuar en una situación de sufrimiento, intenta actuar de tal manera que pueda aproximarse del paciente y de la familia. El estudio reveló que el sufrimiento como tema de formación del enfermero es ocasional, depende de la experiencia del alumno en la práctica y que el alumno no se siente preparado en sus estudios de licenciatura para lidiar con el tema, indicando la necesidad de contenidos teórico-prácticos que contemplen específicamente el tema de sufrimiento en el programa de estudios.Neste estudo, buscou-se compreender o que o estudante de enfermagem entende sobre sofrimento na situação de doença e como ele experiencia esse tema em seu processo de formação. Utilizando a abordagem qualitativa de análise de conteúdo, os dados foram coletados por meio de formulários com questões abertas e entrevistas. Participaram do estudo 31 estudantes de enfermagem. Os resultados revelaram quatro categorias: reconhecendo o sofrimento, testemunhando e vivenciando (comportamentos de cuidar), respondendo ao sofrimento e refletindo sobre o sofrimento. As conclusões apontam que o aluno reconhece fontes que causam sofrimento não só nos pacientes, mas também nas famílias, e que a principal fonte de aprendizagem do aluno sobre o sofrimento humano é a observação que ele faz do enfermeiro atuando numa situação de sofrimento. Nessa observação, o aluno identifica comportamentos que aproximam ou afastam o enfermeiro do sofrimento vivido pelo paciente e pela família; ao mesmo tempo, quando o aluno tem a possibilidade de atuar numa situação de sofrimento, procura agir de forma a aproximar-se do paciente e da família. O estudo revelou que o sofrimento como tema de formação do enfermeiro é ocasional, depende da experiência do aluno na prática, e que o aluno não se sente preparado na graduação para lidar com o tema, o que indica a necessidade de conteúdos teórico-práticos que contemplem especificamente o tema sofrimento na grade curricular.Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais2008-06-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/plainapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/50620REME-Revista Mineira de Enfermagem; Vol. 12 No. 2 (2008)REME-Revista Mineira de Enfermagem; Vol. 12 Núm. 2 (2008)REME-Revista Mineira de Enfermagem; v. 12 n. 2 (2008)2316-93891415-2762reponame:Reme (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGporhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/50620/42412https://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/article/view/50620/42413Copyright (c) 2008 Reme: Revista Mineira de Enfermageminfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMendes, Ana Márcia ChiaradiaAngelo, Margareth2024-01-24T18:42:36Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/50620Revistaremeufmg@gmail.comPUBhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/reme/oairemeufmg@gmail.com2316-93891415-2762opendoar:2024-01-24T18:42:36Reme (Online) - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false
