4th Nursing Conference

Being a nurse today. This was the theme of 4th Nursing Conference of the Bahiana which took place on the 23rd and 24th of September, at the Cabula Academic Unit, which had the purpose of bringing together nursing students from various faculties and schools in Bahia.

The main theme was addressed in the first lecture presented by the representative of the Brazilian Nursing Association (ABEN), Maria Luísa Cardoso. In her speech, the nurse pointed out the importance of rescuing the values ​​of humanization in care. “Life is being placed in the field of commodification. Everything we do today in the production of work and even in caring is aimed at the market. We live within health organizations and schools, with relationships that are also built taking into account the market”, declared Maria Luísa, justifying the importance of humanization in this area in the contemporary world.

Working on the image of humanization is also the role of the Academic League for Humanization in Health (LABHS), composed of students from the Nursing course at Bahiana. "Our role in this Journey is to present humanization in order to cause a reflection in undergraduate and professional students, through activities that complete academic knowledge, stimulating a more humanized assistance", explains the president of the League and student of the 7th semester of Nursing, Amanda Ribeiro. “We are here to say how important humanization is. And the Journey allows students from other institutions to see this work that the Bahiana it does, to see nursing in a different way”, complements the general secretary of the League, Tássia Teles, also a student of the 7th semester.


Dynamism
In addition to the program that involves lectures, roundtables, qualifications and other academic activities, the Jornada has booths in which students present, in practice, a little of what they have been knowing and learning in the classroom. Thus, in addition to the LABHS, there are also the Academic League of First Aid, Academic League of Cardiology, in addition to a stand with the group of students who stood out with good grades in the Bases II subject evaluations. They are responsible for the presentation of the themes: Vital Signs, Oxygenation, Administration of Parenteral Medicines and Puncture.

“I think (participating in the Journey) is important because we learn and it also helps to interact and pass on information to the public”, confesses the 4th semester student, Rosemeire Menezes. The opinion is the same as that of her colleague Renata “this will make me feel confident, as I'm going to work with the public, that is, lay people, and so I'm already acquiring this experience”.


Alumni 
For the first time, the Nursing Journey can count on the participation of former students, who graduated last weekend, when they presented their course conclusion work. Among them, nurses Zaira Vigo and Catrine Sousa who presented the study “Parents' understanding of the importance of childhood vaccination”. About her participation in the Jornada, Zaira says it is “very important for you not only to insert yourself in the practical area, but also to continue with your scientific work. And also for us to come back to present the TCC is to see our effort being recognized”.

Another pair of former students who presented their work was Ivanildes Rebouças and Luciene Souza, whose theme was “Welcome within humanization”. “We choose where the nurse can really work with humanization. Thus, we developed some points such as listening as a form of therapeutic approach”, explains Ivanildes.

“Humanization is a lightweight technology. We don't need big instruments, big technologies. We do it. We say that it is the professional returning to his or her origins, because, for a long time, with the insertion of technological tools and instruments, the health professional was moving away from the patient”, adds Luciene. The duo's work is already successful, so much so that they were invited to join a research group from the Bahiana, which studies humanization in health, linked to the Nursing Research Group (GEPEN). “Now we are going to quantify this humanized reception as a new form of therapy”, idealizes Ivanildes.

That's it! Nursing of Bahiana congratulations once again!
