OBJECTIVE to analyze qualitative comments from four surveys asking nursing faculty to rate the importance of 30 global health competencies for undergraduate nursing programs. METHOD qualitative descriptive study that included 591 individuals who responded to the survey in English (49 from Africa and 542 from the Americas), 163 who responded to the survey in Spanish (all from Latin America), and 222 Brazilian faculty who responded to the survey in Portuguese. Qualitative comments were recorded at the end of the surveys by 175 respondents to the English survey, 75 to the Spanish survey, and 70 to the Portuguese survey. Qualitative description and a committee approach guided data analysis. RESULTS ten new categories of global health competencies emerged from the analysis. Faculty also demonstrated concern about how and when these competencies could be integrated into nursing curricula. CONCLUSION the additional categories should be considered for addition to the previously identified global health competencies. These, in addition to the guidance about integration into existing curricula, can be used to guide refinement of the original list of global health competencies. Further research is needed to seek consensus about these competencies and to develop recommendations and standards to guide nursing curriculum development.

Os docentes também se mostraram preocupados com a forma e o momento de integrar essas competências nos currículos de enfermagem. CONCLUSÃO as categorias adicionais devem ser consideradas para inclusão nas competências em saúde global identificadas anteriormente. Essas, além das orientações para fins de integração nos currículos existentes, podem ser usadas para direcionar o refinamento da lista original de competências em saúde global. São necessárias outras investigações em busca de consenso sobre essas competências para formulação de recomendações e padrões que orientem o desenvolvimento dos currículos de enfermagem.
