Abstract
AGRAMONTE DEL SOL, Alain. Interdisciplinary approach of reproductive and sexual health in the formation of University Nursing in Cuba. Rev Cubana Enfermer [online]. 2013, vol.29, n.1, pp.48-59. ISSN 0864-0319.
Background: in this work, we assumed the definition presented in the International Conference on Development held in El Cairo in the year 1994 that introduced the social and human development approach about this topic, which implies to deal with this problem on the improvement of the curriculum. Objectives: to present some considerations about the interdisciplinary approach for the study of the components of sexual and reproductive health in the formation of University Nursing in Cuba. Methods: a documentary study was conducted, the system of knowledge and skills stated in the analytical programs of the different subjects on the basic curriculum was reviewed, and experts were consulted. Results: it was recognized that 27 subjects, divided into two cycles of the studies, include the study of these components together with a curriculum strategy of interdisciplinary formation about sexuality, with greater representation in the technical cycle and preponderance of the main integrative discipline throughout the studies. Conclusions: several disciplines are involved in the study of the components of sexual and reproductive health, in a design that recognizes the importance of the contents in curriculum integration which are basically structured in disciplines, as well as the need to strengthen this preparation in the postgraduate education, seen as a continuous process of spreading, transfer, adaptation and application of knowledge.
