Abstract

The imaginaries of Public Health Education in Nursing are built on the basis of a historical view of the curriculum, the normative foundations regarding education and health, and the experiences of teachers, students and alumni. This leads to the conceptual and methodological appropriation of strategies for strengthening the quality of the nurses' training in the XXI century. Objective: to reveal the imaginaries of public health education existing within the Nursing program of the Southern Colombia University from 1993 to 2013. Methodology: a qualitative study with content analysis in which a purposive sampling was carried out with public health professors and senior nursing students. Data was collected via focus groups interviews and processed with the Atlas Ti software. Results: Three main categories emerged in relation to the studied subject: conception of public health, understanding of public health, professor training, public health in the curriculum, public health education in nursing and the "unseen, unfelt, and unheard". Conclusions: The imaginaries of education in public health of the Nursing training program of the Southern Colombian University are characterized by an epistemological crisis between theories and disciplinary practices in public health. Likewise, the policies proposed by the WHO / PAHO and the laws of the profession point to the need to strengthen curriculum integration, the development of specific skills and student participation in the definition of objectives, methods and learning environments in public health from a holistic and comprehensive viewpoint but with local perspective.
