Description
Summary:This study aimed to investigate nursing lecturers’ perception regarding their pedagogical practice regarding HIV/AIDS, using Complex Thought as the theoretical framework. This is qualitative research with 13 lecturers who graduated in Nursing, belonging to seven Higher Education Institutions in São Paulo, and was undertaken between January and July 2010. The study respected ethical principles and the data collection occurred through In-depth Interviews. The results were treated using content analysis. The categories evidenced that the teaching process in HIV/AIDS, based in the biomedical model, did not restrict the teaching of ethics, citizenship, encouragement for curiosity, and creativity, much less the understanding of the person with HIV/AIDS as a complex being, on the part of the lecturers. This study shows the importance of valuing teaching in relation to the issue of HIV/AIDS grounded in the human condition and in human solidarity.
