| description | Abstract Background In the context of global health, the work of nurses is of key importance, given their role as diplomats in global health and as fundamental forces in the construction of global partnerships. This study seeks to identify the understanding and perceptions of Brazilian nursing faculty members regarding literacy of human rights related to health in nursing undergraduate programs. Methods Methodological, quantitative and cross-sectional study carried out with nursing faculty members from 20 Brazilian higher education institutions. For the data collection, the Brazilian version of the Basic Core Competencies in Global Health questionnaire was used, available on the website Survey Monkey. In this article, the answers related to the domain “Health as a human right and development resource” were assessed. Descriptive statistics were applied, as well as Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Results In total, 222 questionnaires were completed. As for the domain “Health as a human right and development resource”, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient corresponded to 0.839 for the three domain items. Most of the participants fully agreed on the relevance of the contents related to the theme for nurses’ education. Conclusions It is essential that nurses have contact with human rights international instruments that influence implementation of health and health research policies, though this content’s treatment is still incipient in Brazilian nursing programs. |
