This study reports the practice experienced by nurses whose goal was to contribute with the use of dynamic’s groups promoting a reflection about the self-care in health, in a group of women with the age between 60 and 80 years old who were joining the hydro gymnastic class. The experience was developed during the months of May and June of 2002, at an Olympic park of a sport center of a private school in Fortaleza, Ceara. The methodology of the process was developed through educational workshops that emphasized various kinds of care such as: intra personal care, interpersonal care, social civilization care, ecologic care, and grouping experiences. For the elder women, the experience brought encouragement contributing for their free participation with total liberty of expression. The authors concluded that work groups give the nurses opportunity to comprehend different ways of feeling, thinking and acting, using the technical-scientific knowledge, and also involving the human relations seeking for a new proposal of an educational action in a reflexive nursing program, and so determining changes in our society.
