Abstract

The problem of drugs is complex, multifaceted and can have individual, collective and social repercussions that affect people's health. Therefore, the theme deserves to be discussed in professional training, especially in the area of health. Therefore, it requires individual and collective efforts so that the discussion is free from stereotypes and stigmas. In this context, the objective of this research was: to identify if/and how the theme of drugs is addressed in the teaching-learning process in an undergraduate nursing course. Descriptive, exploratory research, with a qualitative approach, such as a case study, whose data were produced from institutional curricular documents and scientific productions about the theme of drugs produced in the period from 2010 to 2020, by the investigated institution. The process took place through the documentary analysis of the Pedagogical Project and the curricular component menus and lexical content analysis of the abstracts of 27 scientific productions, processed by the IRAMUTEQ software, which generated the conformation of the word cloud, maximum similarity tree and the descending hierarchical classification. In the official documents, no explicit evidence was identified on the approach to the theme of drugs in the teaching-learning process of nursing education. The scientific productions analyzed were essentially about care as a guide for Nursing actions, addressed issues related to the consumption of legal drugs in vulnerable groups, with emphasis on women and adolescents, revealing different forms of women's involvement with the drug problem and highlighting the importance of contemplating the person, the context and the drug in care actions.
