title: [Nursing: the integrated curriculum in the evaluation and perception of the nursing faculty].
abstract: The following study aims at determining the perspectives and difficulties experienced by the teaching staff of the Nursing Department at the Health Sciences Center in Londrina State University during the development and implementation of Module I of their integrated curriculum. The research was constituted by a case study and data were obtained from a set of questions posed to 13 (thirteen) teachers who designed and implemented the Module I of the integrated curriculum at the nursing school in Londrina State University, during the year of 2000. The analysis of the data allowed the authors to determine those factors which either made it difficult or facilitated the process implementation, as well as to raise teachers' perception about the process of curricular change. The study, by supplying indicatives of change, contributes to the improvement of the quality of nursing education as the new curriculum is implemented at Londrina State University.
