RESUMO:

Leprosy is a major public health problem in Brazil. Disease control is carried out in the Unified Health System, with the Basic Units as a priority area for control actions, and Higher Education Institutions, as organizations responsible for teaching leprosy to the future health professionals. Therefore, this study aims to identify approaches to teaching leprosy care through the teaching plans and discuss the possibilities and limits related to approaches to teaching leprosy care in undergraduate nursing course (UNC) from the perspective of teachers. It is an exploratory, descriptive, quantitative-qualitative study. Documentary research was also used, using the teaching plans. The research was carried out in UNC located in the state of Paraíba. Twenty-one teachers participated in the study. Data collection occurred from September to October 2016, after approval of the Ethics and Research Committee of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, CAAE: 57947916.4.0000.5537. It was used a script for surveying the teaching plans and an interview script applied to the teachers. After the data collection of the teaching plans, they were grouped in tables, and analyzed in light of the literature pertinent to the researched topic. The analysis of the empirical material was performed using IRAMUTEQ software. It has been found in the teaching plans that there is a reduced number of curricular components that deal with leprosy; the study of leprosy is carried out in the majority of UNC from the professional cycle; the content addressed does not prioritize health promotion and surveillance, and the Systematization of Nursing Care has not been a priority in the UNC. In the teachers' discourses, through the analysis of the IRAMUTEQ software, the hierarchical classification of the interviews regarding the possibilities, produced the following classes: Leprosy is a public health problem; use of new teaching methods; theoretical and practical classes; professional competence to act in the control of leprosy; opportunity of teaching in the health care network; the importance of health education and the nurse in the control of leprosy. Regarding the educational limits, the following classes were evidenced: reduced number of leprosy cases in Primary Care; reduced class time load; lack of priority in educational actions on leprosy in Primary Care; disease related to prejudice and stigma; insecurity of Primary Care professionals in the diagnosis of leprosy, and lack of support from managers in the decentralization of leprosy control actions. In view of the results found, it is necessary that the UNC fulfill their mission of working in function of a professional training that values the promotion of health and disease surveillance, with a view to contributing to the elimination of leprosy and to the improvement of the quality of life of people.
