Abstract

The Professional Master’s Degree in Nursing with Specialization in Child Health and Pediatric
Nursing of Portuguese Catholic University of Porto specifically targets the acquisition,
development and integration of knowledge for advanced nursing care to the newborn (NB),
children and adolescents with special attention to promoting the development and adaptation to
the processes of health and disease. This includes Course Report, which requires different
skills evident in the area of specialization. This report is based on the training held from April 19
to November 27, 2010, in different contexts of child care and family, particularly in the Health
Center Senhora da Hora (Module I) and Neonatology Service at the Hospital Pedro Hispano
and Emergency Pediatrics, Hospital São João (Module III), with the primary objective of
describing the activities and objectives planned to acquire the skills offered by the course
syllabus. It was also considered and addressed prior professional experience in the area of
Pediatrics and Child Health, with the inherent development and skills acquisition. To achieve
this study, I used a descriptive and reflective methodology, based on the development of my
business, having resorted to informal interviews with the nurses, the research literature with
scientific evidence and the records of the activities performed. In an self-critical and reflective
systematic exercise, throughout the document reveals a logical process of professional
development that I consider successful.
