Models, Nursing Archives - Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem

ABSTRACT

Objective:

To communicate the experience of developing concepts for the construction of a care model through focus groups.

Methods:

An experience report on the development of concepts through remote focus groups with members of a research group from a public university in southern Brazil.

Results:

Focus groups were developed in which homogeneity and heterogeneity criteria were observed among participants. In addition to the concepts of the nursing metaparadigm, the concepts of care and family-centered care were developed, relevant to the nursing care model in question.

Final considerations:

Despite the challenges of conducting remote focus groups, they were suitable for the collective construction of concepts for a nursing care model, allowing the interaction of participants from different locations.
