RESUMO
This article reports on an effort to use the learning organization to change the existing mental model of a nursing team in order to transform from a nursing-oriented group to a patient-oriented group and to build shared vision, self-affirmation, and self-transcendence in order to change perspectives using team-learning spirit. The nursing group built partnerships with the patient group. The nursing group learning process fostered positive thinking logic and, under the inheritance of knowledge and technology, the patient-oriented group was successfully established. This model will be expanded to more patient-oriented groups. Through the experience sharing and joint supervision, this model may change lifestyles by implementing the concept of "My health, I care" and, ultimately, help patients achieve self-healthcare.
