Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic imposed changes to the normal functioning of the Portuguese Higher Education system, making it necessary to implement pedagogical adaptation strategies. In health courses, particularly in Nursing Degree courses, curricula have an expressive component of clinical practice, which had to be restructured. This study aimed to identify the impact of pedagogical adaptation strategies, adopted in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, on nursing students, in a private health school, in northern Portugal. A study with a qualitative and exploratory approach was developed, using an intentional non-probabilistic sample, composed of 62 nursing students. The results demonstrate that the main curricular changes identified were distance classes and the cancellation / interruption of clinical teaching. The main difficulties felt were "Difficulty in attention and concentration" and "Adaptation / management of the new routine". As for the main adaptation strategies used by the students, “the optimization of daily routines” and the “increase / management of the autonomous study” stand out. The most experienced emotions and feelings were “anxiety”, “stress” and “discouragement / demotivation”.
