Assessment of feedback for the teaching of nursing practice.

Objective: to analyze the self-reported knowledge of professors in the use of feedback in the teaching of nursing practice; train professors to use this process; and evaluate the results of this training.
Method: a qualitative study of research-action type. The focus group technique was used with seven collaborators of a nursing technical school. For content analysis, the Bardin framework was used and, for intervention, the Problematization Methodology supported by Pendleton’s Rules.
Results: most present in their curricula training to teach. It is pointed out that feedback is a simple and essential assessment tool, although universal discourse does not express the exact dimension of feedback potentialities. The intervention was effective to solidify feedback.
Final Consideration: this study shows that feedback should be disseminated and consolidated among the teaching staff of nursing technical education [corrected].
