Teachers’ Daily Lives and Their Responsibility in Health Promotion in the University Context: An Integrative Review

Background: The educational task of nurses is to develop technical and humanistic competencies that favor preventive/promotional actions. Likewise, the responsibility in health promotion in the daily life of the teacher in the university context is relevant to improve practices. Materials and methods: Electronic database (Web of Science, Ebsco, Google Scholar, Scielo, Redalyc, Dialnet, and Scopus) were searched and 106 articles collected for the period 2012–2021. Of those, 13 articles were analyzed. The evidence highlights that the daily activity of the university teacher reflects the daily experiences of the bio-psycho-social routine represented in different roles. The importance lies in including during the teaching-learning process the development of competencies for the promotion and prevention of healthy lifestyles in the training of future nursing professionals. Conclusions: The synthesized results show that teachers should reinforce significant strategies to transfer knowledge around health promotion and disease prevention during the academic training process.
