ABSTRACT
Objective: to identify the education practices developed by nurses in the daily work at the Family Health Strategy and what are the education technologies which matter to them. Method: this is an exploratory study, with a quantitative design, conducted in the town of Santarém, Pará, Brazil, with 25 female nurses. Data were collected by means of a form with 15 questions and analyzed using simple statistics. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee, Protocol 00190321000-10. Results: the practices are predominantly carried out with the female public; the most addressed subjects are exclusive breastfeeding, complementary feeding, family planning, and pregnancy in adolescence. The practices take place more frequently at the units and they are individual and/or collective. The most frequently used resources are materials/instruments from the health programs; the games, primers, and the folders are the most interesting education technologies for nurses. Conclusion: education practices are focused on the units and rather ruled by the programs’ discourse than by the community needs. They do not produce nor validate the most interesting technologies. Descriptors: Nursing; Health Education; Education Technology.
