Abstract

Grounded on the theoretical framework of the Adaptation Theory, we report a case study held at a large
pediatric hospital in the city of Curitiba/Paraná State, Brazil, during the third-term nursing undergraduation clinical studies.
The case study was carried out with a hospitalized child and its mother during the clinical teaching activities in the
discipline Caring Process in Nursing I. The theoretical models, when used by nursing undergraduates as a framework for
care systematization, contribute to practice refinement as well as organization, interpretation and analysis of the caring
process, broadening knowledge level in professional education and nursing research. We concluded that the study of
nursing theories and its practical use by undergraduates must be encouraged by educational institutions.
