REFLETINDO EM CUIDADOS CONTINUADOS: O ENFERMEIRO ESPECIALISTA EM ENFERMAGEM COMUNITÁRIA.

In a society in constant change, education emerges, in a systemic paradigm, as an instrument capable of building a system of values, allowing the acquisition of knowledge and skills necessary for the exercise of citizenship. In this sense, with a view to the evolution of self-knowledge at the level of postgraduate education, this article presents critical reflection, as the methodology used in an optional course in Continuing Care. Anchored in references, it contributes to the construction of skills that enable a professional exercise based on an increasingly differentiated action, with a view to the development of a specialized clinical practice in Community Nursing. This strategy made it possible to envision decision-making processes in complex situations in contexts of continuous care, seeking to systematize new learning / intervention perspectives, considering alternatives and options. It was valued by students, mobilizing for it the theoretical conception, by reference to the development of knowledge in nursing, considering the diversity and uniqueness of their individual interests.
