HEALTH EDUCATION DEVICE: REFLECTIONS ON EDUCATIONAL PRACTICES IN PRIMARY CARE AND NURSING TRAINING

ABSTRACT

Objective:

to construct reflections on the health education device, considering the educational health practices developed in the Primary Health Care and in the nursing training.

Method:

this is a reflexive essay based on the concept of a device proposed by Deleuze.

Results:

we unraveled the lines of visibility and enunciation, the lines of force and the lines of subjectivity of the health education device, highlighting the real wills implied in the modes of subjectivation produced in this device. The lines of visibility and enunciation of the health education device are located in visible, discursive, hybrid and contradictory fields, which at times are built from a specific notion of health and education and at different times by another notion. In this device, subject-educator and subject-learner are objects of the lines of force; they recompose and are recomposed by modulations configured in the spheres of power and knowledge. The projects of each subject can predispose lines of fracture and lead to productions of subjectivities that leave the powers and knowledge of a device to reinvent themselves in another device. In order to predispose lines of fracture in the health education device, it is necessary to design training processes that allow nurses to take creative positions in their health education practices.

Conclusion:

this essay allowed us to expand the conceptual territories involved in educational practices in health and nursing education, opening the way to understand the subjectivation processes in health education.
