[The nursing process in a burn unit: analysis and reformulation of teaching]

The present study aims at elaborating and applying an education plan for nurses in an Unit for Burnt Patients, with the proposal of analysing and reformulating the practice of the nursing process in this service. The framework proposed by Charles MAGUEREZ, was employed as a guideline, which led to the selection and application of the teaching and learning strategies implemented in this plan. We concluded that the framework proposed by MANGUEREZ made possible a substantial improvement in the nursing process in this service, and that this new reality claims for further studies.
