Abstract

The project is designed to assist children and adolescents at risk who attend a non-governmental, non-profitable organization. These are children living in precarious tenements in the central district of Sao Paulo, with great chances of becoming homeless. The project aims to enable nursing students to organize health services and assist the child in situations of social exclusion. Under teacher supervision, the student evaluates the growth and development of the children, their personal history, family and living condition; prepare prescription, intervention and outcome of nursing, develops health guidelines for children and families, and makes referrals to health care partners. Students developed the instruments for data collection, identified the needs and health problems and adopted measures consistent with the peculiarities of the child. The evolution of the study showed that the project is viable, demands low cost and has potential to be replicated with other social groups.
