Description
Summary:Doi: 10.5902/2179769211265 Aim: to describe the experience of the inclusion and development of a course entitled "Violence, Health and Gender " in an undergraduate program of Nursing. Methods: experience report based on experiences as a professor who taught the course "Violence, Health and Gender" at the Faculty of Jaguariuna (FAJ) - SP. Results: the specific course on the topic enabled the students to talk about the subject, allowing wide discussions. Many of the students reported their experiences throughout life with different types of violence (self-inflicted, interpersonal, collective) and their different natures (physical, sexual, psychological, neglect or deprivation). Conclusion: introducing a course about violence has brought positive results, enabling extensive discussions and reflections on the topic, deconstruction of myths about the subject and better preparation for the future nurses to deal with the issue.
