Abstract

The present Internship Report arises within the curriculum unit "Final Internships and Report" of the 16th Master's Course in Nursing, with specialization in Child Health and Pediatrics. The primary objective of this report is to highlight the path achieved throughout the internship to the development of competences in the context of the provision of specialized care in Child Health and Pediatrics. The internship took place in different contexts, including the Pediatric Emergency Service, the Neonatology Intensive Care Unit and the Pediatry Internship Service, which allowed to develop specialized skills for the child and family. The present report describes the various activities carried out for the realization of the different competences, as well as a critical reflection supported by scientific evidence. Through the internship, the different competences were analyzed and worked according to the curricular unit of Final Report and Internship and the importance of the Nurse Specialist in Child and Pediatric Health in the management of care and resources fundamental to the provision of care to the child and the family was highlighted. Themes such as child pain management, parenting, care partnership, assistance in complex situations, among others, were also addressed. The importance of personal and professional training, with the opportunity to conduct peer training and develop skills in the field of research, was analyzed, in particular highlighting the importance of developing an evidence-based practice. The skills acquired during the internship and the preparation of this report have enabled the development of new skills. With this, I realized the importance of the nurse in providing the care that the child needs. I learned how to perform nursing diagnostics and deepened my knowledge of acute and chronic diseases in children. Besides, I developed critical thinking essential to a specialist nurse. I have acquired skills, personal growth, and the ability to identify the needs of the child and the family by providing care based on scientific evidence. This learning will enable an effective and grounded practice in the provision of care as a future Nurse Specialist in Child Health and Pediatrics, always guaranteeing the search for up-to-date knowledge and excellence in care.
