Abstract

The present internship report appears within the scope of the Curricular Unit: “Final Internship and Report”, included in the 16th master's degree in Nursing with Specialization in Child and Pediatric Health Nursing, at the Nursing School of the Institute of Health Sciences of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa - Porto. This report constitutes a critical-reflexive analysis of the entire journey experienced, exposing not only the knowledge and skills acquired but also the encountered difficulties. This document is structured around deeply personal and subjective experiences firmly grounded in theoretical foundations supported by the most recent scientific evidence. It results from learning experiences in various internship contexts, namely in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, a Multipurpose Pediatric Emergency Service, in Primary Health Care and a Medical-Surgical Pediatric Inpatient Service. Here are reflected the skills required by this study cycle to obtain the Master's degree in Nursing, with specialization in Child and Pediatric Health Nursing, as well as the objectives and activities developed to achieve them. In an attempt to facilitate the interpretation of the content presented here, the skills have been grouped into domains of action: domain of care provision, domain of training, domain of management and domain of research. Throughout the internship, several areas of action were addressed, within the competence of the Specialist Nurse in Child and Pediatric Health Nursing, such as: assistance to the child and their family in maximizing their health and managing complex situations, taking into account the child and young person’s developmental stage; management of nursing care and resources; research in the respective specialty area and promotion of the formative process, both personal and for other professionals.
