Academic league of nursing in women's health

experience report in a women's chain

Abstract

The performance of academic leagues constitutes an important strategy for theoretical-practical articulation and, in the health field, it supports the development of skills and competencies aimed at comprehensive, humanized and welcoming care that understands the context in which individuals are in, and the social production of the health-disease process. This work aims to report the experience of nursing degree students who take part in an academic league linked to a private college in Petrolina, Pernambuco. This is a descriptive study, with a qualitative approach, of an experience report type, arising from the experiences of academics with women at the Women's Public Prison in Petrolina. The activities developed focused on qualified listening and health education as the main tools for approaching and guaranteeing holistic care for women in prison. It was noticed that health in prison is crossed by multiple issues that limit access and corroborate the distancing of women in prison from the guarantees of the Brazilian Unified Health System. In this way, the contributions of the experience had an impact on the critical-reflective training of academics, as well as meeting the demands of women in prison, a fact that points to the social relevance of extramural activities.
