description Introduction: For years, Nursing has struggled to get the recognition as being a discipline in which the own theoretical knowledge and practice based on evidence are fundamental requirements. Objectives: 1) Identify knowledge about general and midrange nursing theories (TRM by its acronym in Spanish), its utilization in practice and examples of application of the Kolcaba comfort theory in the nursing activities in the Anesthesia and Recovery Ward at a hospital in Concepción; 2) Perform an educational intervention as continuous training of these professionals. Methodology: Intervention pilot project in educational management, performed between April and May of 2017, including the application of initial questionnaire, followed by education and focus group, finishing with a final questionnaire. Results: Participation of 11 nurses. Knowledge prior to the intervention was scarce in regards to big theories and null about TRM. The nursing theories were defined as basis of the professional activities, but only four (4) of the 11 professionals recognized using them daily. After educational intervention, examples of the application for the Kolcaba theory where identified; physical comfort: pain assessment and management; psychospiritual comfort: direct communication with the patient, explaining processes to go through; sociocultural comfort: informing the family; environmental comfort: reduction of the intensity of the lights, noises, and or conversations. Conclusions: It is recommended to perform interventions in order to reinforce knowledge about nursing and encourage formation of work groups between clinic nurses and scholars in order to carry out research, looking to reduce the existence gap between theoretical and practical knowledge.

Introducción: Durante años Enfermería ha luchado por el reconocimiento como disciplina, en donde el conocimiento teórico propio y la práctica basada en evidencia son requisitos fundamentales. Objetivos: 1) Identificar conocimiento sobre teorías generales de Enfermería y teorías de rango medio (TRM), su utilización en la práctica y ejemplos de aplicación de la teoría del confort de Kolcaba en el quehacer de Enfermería en la Unidad de Pabellón, Anestesia y Recuperación en un hospital de Concepción; 2) Realizar una intervención educativa como formación continua de estos profesionales. Metodología: Proyecto piloto de intervención en gestión educativa, realizado entre abril y mayo del 2017, aplicación de cuestionario inicial, seguido de educación y grupo focal, terminando con cuestionario final. Resultados: Participaron 11 enfermeros/as. El conocimiento previo a la intervención fue escaso sobre grandes teorías y nulo sobre TRM. Definieron las teorías de Enfermería como base del quehacer profesional, pero sólo 4 de los 11 profesionales reconocieron utilizarlas diariamente. Luego de la intervención educativa, identificaron ejemplos de aplicación para la teoría de Kolcaba; confort físico: valoración y manejo del dolor; confort psicoespiritual: comunicación directa con el paciente, explicando procesos a enfrentar; confort sociocultural: informar a la familia; confort ambiental: disminución de la intensidad de las luces, ruidos y/o conversaciones. Conclusiones: Se recomienda realizar intervenciones para reforzar el conocimiento disciplinar de Enfermería e incentivar la formación de grupos de trabajo entre enfermeros/as clínicos y académicos para realizar investigación, buscando disminuir la brecha existente entre el conocimiento teórico y práctico. Introdução: Por anos, Enfermagem tem lutado para obter o reconhecimento como sendo uma disciplina em que o próprio conhecimento teórico e prática baseado em evidências são requisitos fundamentais. Objetivo: 1) Identificar conhecimentos sobre teorias gerais e midrange de enfermagem (TRM por sua sigla em espanhol), sua utilização na prática e exemplos de aplicação da teoria do conforto de Kolcaba nas atividades de enfermagem na ala de anestesia e recuperação de um hospital em Concepción; 2) Realizar uma intervenção educativa como formação contínua desses profissionais. Metodologia: Projeto-piloto de intervenção em gestão educacional, realizado entre abril e maio de 2017, incluindo a aplicação do questionário inicial, seguido por grupo de educação e grupo de foco, terminando com um questionário final. Resultados: Participação de 11 enfermeiros. Conhecimento prévio à intervenção era escasso em relação a grandes teorias e nulo sobre o TRM. As teorias de enfermagem foram definidas como base das atividades profissionais, mas apenas quatro 4 dos 11 profissionais reconheceram usá-los diariamente. Após intervenção educativa, exemplos da aplicação da teoria de Kolcaba foram identificados; conforto físico: avaliação e manejo da dor; conforto psicoespiritual: comunicação direta com o paciente, explicando processos para passar; conforto sociocultural: informando a família; conforto ambiental: redução da intensidade das luzes, ruídos e / ou conversas. Conclusões: Recomenda-se a realização de intervenções para reforçar o conhecimento sobre a enfermagem e incentivar a formação de grupos de trabalho entre enfermeiras clínicas e acadêmicos a fim de realizar investigação, olhando para reduzir a lacuna de existência entre conhecimento teórico e prático.
