When Literature Meets Nursing Knowledge: An Innovative Approach to Strengthen the Learning of Disciplinary Fundamentals.

Background: Conceptual models and nursing theories form the foundation of nursing science, guiding clinical reasoning and improving care quality.

Problem: Teaching these abstract theoretical concepts presents a pedagogical challenge, particularly for novice students who often perceive them as complex.

Approach: This article presents an innovative pedagogical approach combining art and nursing science. The method uses literary analysis as a learning vector, mobilizing Meleis' transition theory through the development of an analytical reading report.

Conclusions: This strategy demonstrates its effectiveness in developing students' analytical and writing skills, facilitating the appropriation of disciplinary knowledge. Its transferability makes it a relevant tool for the international community of nursing educators.
