[Model for introducing or revitalizing the final monograph].

Abstract

The requirement set by the Curricular Guidelines for a Course Conclusion Work in the nursing area is an innovation for the majority of courses in Brazil. Only a few courses have introduced this type of study as a result of their forward-looking vision. This requirement has demanded an effort from the universities, to ensure that these studies do not only represent an academic exercise, but also an institutional quality indicator and a possible contribution to the solution of social problems. Our proposed model includes: defining lines of research, gathering researchers per by area of interest, organizing research groups and centers, defining the preferred types of studies, planning operational agendas, carrying out a follow-up on their introduction and encouraging their publication.
