Experience report about a sandwich doctoral training program carried out with the support of the Improvement Coordination of Superior Level staff, between October 2005 and January 2006, at the School of Nursing D. Ana Guedes in Porto, Portugal, an institution already visited during the undergraduate training. I had the opportunity to replicate the methodology applied in part of my thesis among Portuguese children. This allowed a comparative study between two cultures that have affinities, but also distinct characteristics. Besides, I gave classes, took part in courses and seminars and obtained more in-depth knowledge about the Theory of Cultural Care Diversity and Universality. I consider this experience a stimulus to guarantee the nurse's autonomy in nursing care, as a researcher and faculty, expanding knowledge and inserting it in the care process. Furthermore, it exerts a positive influence of the student's psychological, cultural and social maturing process.

Relato de experiência acerca de estágio de doutorando-sanduíche realizado com bolsa da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior, durante o período de outubro de 2005 a janeiro de 2006, na Faculdade de Enfermagem de D. Ana Guedes, no Porto, em Portugal, instituição já visitada na graduação. Tive a oportunidade de replicar a metodologia de parte da dissertação com crianças portuguesas. Isso permitiu estudo comparativo entre duas culturas que guardam afinidades, mas têm características distintas. Além disso, ministrei aulas, participei de cursos e seminários e aprofundei os conhecimentos acerca da Teoria da Universalidade e Diversidade do Cuidado Cultural. Considero que esta experiência é um estímulo para a garantia da autonomia do enfermeiro na assistência de enfermagem, como pesquisador e docente, ampliando conhecimentos e os inserindo no processo de cuidado. Ademais, influencia positivamente no amadurecimento psicológico, cultural e social do doutorando.
