ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze political and pedagogical projects of nursing residency to the elderly from Paulo Freire's perspective. Method: a descriptive, exploratory study, qualitative approach using documentary analysis. Data source was pedagogical political projects of nursing residency programs in the health of the elderly. The data were collected between March and May 2017. Data analysis was based on Bardin's Thematic Analysis. It had as analytical categories specific dimensions of the proposed theoretical framework. Results: twelve pedagogical political projects showed that learning dimensions appear in an incipient, fragmented way, demonstrating the reproduction of banking education, disregarding the importance of bringing the student as a subject of learning. Conclusion: there is a gap in pedagogical political projects from Paulo Freire's perspective. It is necessary that regulatory institutions can systematize and encourage so that pedagogical projects of these programs are based on Paulo Freire's epistemological bases, enabling the so desired holistic training.
Objective: to analyze the scientific production on bioethical issues involved in care of elderly with HIV/AIDS. Method: a systematic review of articles in Scopus and SciELO databases. Results: the selected studies displayed an increase in the number of older people with HIV/AIDS; the fact that old people have a lack of knowledge about the ways of HIV transmission; that health professionals have difficulty to address sexuality in old age. It was evident that, despite the conceptions built for the disease, prejudice about sexuality have hampered preventive measures for infection leading to construction of strategies of resistance by the elderly as silence regarding serology, hope for an AIDS cure and a search for the respect of their autonomy. Conclusion: there is a need for greater investment in health education to enhance the knowledge of old people about HIV/AIDS, the respect for their autonomy and to minimize the risk of prejudice towards their sexuality.
OBJETIVO: analisar a ampliação do número de cursos de graduação em enfermagem nas últimas duas décadas, frente ao movimento de expansão da educação superior no Brasil. Metodologia: foi realizada pesquisa documental sobre os marcos legais, que impulsionaram esse movimento, e pesquisa quantitativa, que descreveu a expansão do número de cursos de enfermagem. Os dados foram analisados por meio da análise temática (qualitativos) e da estatística descritiva (quantitativos). RESULTADOS: o discurso político-ideológico, presente nos documentos normativos que apontam a educação superior como possibilidade de transformação da realidade social, não vem se refletindo na área da enfermagem. A expansão dos cursos de enfermagem vem se dando de maneira desordenada, concentrada no setor privado e com desigualdade geográfica na distribuição desses cursos. CONCLUSÃO: não se observa preocupação com as necessidades locais, com a articulação entre o ensino, a pesquisa e extensão, fato esse que compromete a qualidade da formação das futuras enfermeiras. ; OBJECTIVE: This study analyzed the increase in the number of undergraduate nursing courses during the last two decades due to the expansion of higher education in Brazil. METHOD: A records-based research concerning the legal frameworks that have driven this movement and a quantitative research that described the increase in the number of professional nursing courses. Data were analyzed using thematic content analysis (qualitative) and descriptive statistics (quantitative). RESULTS: the political-ideological argument present in the regulatory documents, which points out higher education as a possibility to change the current social scenario, has not been reflected in the professional nursing field. The expansion of nursing courses has been unfolding in a disorderly manner and is concentrated in the private sector, with geographical inequality in the distribution of these courses. CONCLUSION: There does not seem to be a concern with the local needs and with a connection among education, research and extension, which compromises the quality of the education provided to future nurses. ; Introducción: Este estudio analizó la ampliación del número de cursos de pregrado en enfermería en las últimas dos décadas ante el movimiento de expansión de la educación superior en Brasil.
