Abstract
Objective: To report the experience of undergraduates in Nursing School in the construction of Nursing Diagnostics for a case study of patients with Lepstospirosis. Methods: This is a descriptive, qualitative, experience-type study carried out during the course "Infectious and Parasitic Diseases" of the Undergraduate Nursing course of a Public University in Belém-PA. The students selected a theme about the pathologies prevalent in the Amazon, for perform the Nursing Diagnostics. The authors were commissioned to carry out the diagnoses for the Leptospirosis pathology through clinical examination of the patient. Results: From the case study proposed in the classroom, the following "Nursing Diagnostics" based on NANDA-I were selected: Risk for infection; Risk of ineffective thermoregulation; Impaired walking; Unbalanced nutrition: less than bodily needs; Acute pain. Final considerations: The use of active methodologies in educational institutions contributes to the critical-reflective formation of future Nurses, who will be better able to develop the Nursing "action" closer to the current reality. It is admitted that the present study has limitations because it only teaches the students' vision about the methodology used, thus, it is encouraged the frequent use of this type of methodology in the institutions and more studies on the theme Leptospirosis.
