The schedule of the 7th Science and Technology Fair at the Universidade de Tocantins (Unitins) Câmpus Araguatins and Augustinópolis continued on Monday afternoon, 30, with five simultaneous workshops. Activities took place in several rooms on the Augustinopolis campus.

The first workshop entitled “Abstract, Complete Work and Scientific Essay: From Writing to Presentation” started at 1pm and was taught by Unitins professor and nurse Janina Araujo Viana. During the workshop, the teacher discussed different types of applications and writing in scientific research. The students also carried out a practical activity, analyzing the text provided by the teacher to identify errors and successes, according to the content presented during the afternoon. The workshop was mediated by Unitins professor and nurse Ana María Costa Teixeira.

Academic Deborah Cristina Martinez, 8th Period Nursing, stated, “The workshop was very useful, providing great teaching in a clear way, which improved our understanding.”

For students interested in learning more about behavior, a “Non-Violent Communication” lecture by psychologist and Nape Unitins nursing course teacher, Arian Carvalho de Nascimento, looked at the best forms of communication. According to the speaker, “Nonviolent communication is based on human feelings and needs.” She stressed the importance of commitment, avoiding judgment, validating people’s feelings, and creating a space of acceptance and understanding.

Furthermore, nursing and medical students participated in the “Practice Electrocardiography” workshop held at the Health Sciences Complex (CCS) and taught by Unitins Medicine Course Coordinator and Dr. Helen Diani Ferreira. She stressed the importance of the exam and the need to prepare students to take it correctly. “This is a basic test that is accessible in emergency rooms,” he stressed. “We need our students to be prepared to take it, because a poor test may lead to inadequate diagnoses and treatments.”

Fourth Period Nursing student Ana Luisa praised the class, highlighting its dynamics and inclusion of practice, which helps stick the content in students’ minds. She stressed the importance of knowing the ECG for nurses, who often need to act quickly in emergency situations, which contributes to more effective patient care.
