Abstract

The Community Nursing is the area of Nursing whose focus is community action, with all groups who constitute it. The Nurse Specialist, through their experience of clinical practice as well as the knowledge resulting from their academic training, has skills that allow him to develop projects that promote the empowerment of the population for the development of pathways to healthy living. This abstract describes the three modules of training undertaken in the Master's Degree in Nursing, with specialization in Community Nursing, held at the Institute of Health Sciences at Universidade Católica. The first two modules of training were held at UCSP Aleo in Alcoutim. Module three, optional module, took place at USF Guadiana, in Castro Marim. During the first stage module, a diagnosis was conducted about the situation of nursing activities in clinical child health, family planning and diabetes, since the professionals felt that their practices were discrepant. According to data obtained with the diagnosis confirmed the differences in performance of nursing professionals and that the activities did not provide responses to the recommendations issued by the DGS to these queries. The conclusions reached in the situation diagnosis came to justify the need to act in the practice of nursing, to ensure their quality. In the second stage module were developed and implemented "Nursing Standards of conduct" in the consultations studied, these standards serve as a guide for semi-annual audits to the records of Nursing, a key step in the process of quality assurance followed. In the third stage module, the focus of the intervention were teenagers, since the professionals expressed their concern about the disengagement of young people enrolled at USF Guadiana stage so as to troubled teens. The implemented project, called “Tertúlia do Jovem”, based on a dynamic peer education, through discussion of topics related to health among young people, moderated by a healthcare professional. Moreover, with the aim of delivering the information to other population groups, there will be a program and a monthly publication on the “blog da Tertúlia” for transmitting ideas and conclusions of the gatherings. With the work is to give visibility to the work done by nursing professionals, not to mention the quality and focus at the people who watch
