Abstract

The aim of this study was to understand the
importance of health education practices in the training
of nursing undergraduate students, through a qualitative
descriptive study, conducted between September and
October 2014 with fifty nursing undergraduates. Data
were collected by means of semi-structured interviews;
the statements were organized and analyzed according to
the Collective Subject Discourse. Ethical standards were
applied by means of opinion 889.504. Three synthetic
discourses emerged, anchored on the following core ideas:
concept of health education; importance of educational
practices in academic education; and, difficulties in
performing educational activities. It can be noted that
there are similarities between the biomedical model and
the implementation of educational activities; however,
these are evidenced as an important professional building
tool. Health education occupies a prominent position in
the training of nursing students; however, it is necessary
to rediscuss its concept.
