Abstract

The authors show the trajectory of the Brazilian Stomal Therapy Courses since their beginning in 1990 until 1995. Firstly they point out the changes of their contents initially based on medical and biological fields. Nowadays they also involve issues in the other Enterostomal Therapy fields-wounds and incontinence-besides discussions and reflections on the principles of organization and creation of care programmes, services and protocols as well as on the Stomal Therapy as a specialty in Brazilian nursing, society and politics. The 75 students' expectations, perspectives and evaluation related to the courses are presented, showing positive tendencies. The author finishes the study considering the importance of the evaluation process towards the improvement of the course according to the new challenges and discussions about nursing specialties in our country.
