title: [Training in health education: methodology of a course for the nursing staff].
abstract: An explanation is provided regarding an experience in the use of a Health Education Training teaching unit for hospital staffs. The method used was that of work to be done in groups, using the Operative Group technique, and contents stressed techniques involving participation, which aid in approaching and familiarizing oneself with the community, as well as in participating in and collaborating with it. The need for training in health education for these hospital staffs, which can be extended to other professionals working in community health fields, is revealed. Hospital staff programs focus more on hospital care than community health, which is based on promoting health and preventing illness. The importance of the psychological, social, cultural, economic and political factors having to do with health reveal the need for community health personnel to be trained in social and behavioural sciences, in addition to a need for them to be familiar with the community they are attempting to reach and educate.
