Abstract

The professionals of medical sciences, in the exercise of their profession, should detect health problems in the population they take care of, be capable of perceiving that something is just not right, or requires a deeper study, figuring out questions that demand a scientific answer that implies a detailed analysis of reality. The objective was to analyze the importance of the qualitative research methodology in nursing studies, and their implications for the medical sciences in such a way that contribute to the achievement of a higher professional practice. Materials and methods: an analysis of documents was made on the current trends in qualitative research methodology and its teaching learning process in relation to nursing studies. The analysis of documents showed there is not enough relation between the current trends in in qualitative research in nursing and its teaching learning process in the nursing studies. It was concluded that the latest tendencies in higher education demand a change from an instructional paradigm to a cognitive one developed by the students themselves in which the qualitative research along with the quantitative research become the central part in the construction of scientific knowledge, and bring about a qualitatively higher leap in medical practice that take into consideration the human being as a biological, social, and psychological unit, by putting into practice research skills that include qualitative research in such a way that achieve a higher professional practice according to the current social requirements.
