SOUZA RAMOS, FLÁVIA REGINA et al. Motivations and experiences of ethics/bioethic subjects in nursing. av.enferm. [online]. 2010, vol.28, n.2, pp.40-47. ISSN 0121-4500.

This paper deals with a research on the discourse of ethics in the nurse education process. Objective: this study sought to characterize professors in terms of their teaching experiences and motivations in nursing courses. Methodology: case study with a documentary stage and a focus group with 50 professors from 6 courses of Santa Catarina (Brazil). Results and discussion: Despite the precarious conditions, nurses seem to be willing to dedicate themselves to teaching career paths since they wish to contribute to change and develop the profession or because of the professional perspectives and nature of the teaching career. In spite of the different experiences in teaching ethics, professors perceive themselves as stakeholders in the ethics formation of nurses, especially as they consider the daily academic and welfare life as a venue for ethical formation, as well as the values, positions, and example as the expression of the influence of teaching performance on ethics formation. Conclusions: the reflection over ethics formation should not confine to the discussion of the pedagogical contents and strategies involved in teaching ethics and bioethics, hence, the importance of discussing about ethics in educational experience and envisage the speech being built by these professors.
