Abstract

With the purpose of reflecting on the experience lived in the action research project "Prevention of Tobacco Use in Students of the 3rd Cycle", this article arises, sharing the experience lived on nursing graduation, through Unidade de Monitorização de Indicadores em Saúde of Escola Superior de Saúde de Santarém. Starting from this experience, it’s based on reflection on action, describing its course, in a perspective of integration and sharing results obtained, in the transformation of the graduation course and personal development. The results of this experience are revealed in gains obtained: increasing knowledge from curricular units of nursing graduation, development of health planning skills, and the contact with middle school students/"peer education". This reflection allowed the consolidation and enrichment of competences and knowledge, especially in the scope of research, which are both personally transformative and promoters of a reflective and evidence-based practice.
