Integração ensino-serviço sob a percepção dos seus protagonistas

To know the process of teaching-service integration in the perception of teachers, students and health professionals. Method: descriptive, qualitative research. Data were collected through interviews, with 31 protagonists, between October and December 2015, and analyzed using the theoretical framework of Donald Schön. Results: two categories emerged: construction of the teaching-service integration process: learning through professional practice; the limits of the process of teaching-service integration: a policy instituted by the school and the service? Final considerations: the teaching-service integration is perceived as a fundamental process for the training of nurses and needs to periodically rescue their objectives, among them, to bring the students closer to the practice scenario. The political dimension of the process needs to be taken up by nursing undergraduate courses and by the services for the implementation of a training focused on the Unified Health System.
