Tutoría Clínica de Enfermería para el fortalecimiento del aprendizaje de los alumnos en la práctica hospitalaria (PAPIME en 223403)

Abstract

Among the nursing educational  institutions’ more concerning problems is the teaching-service unlinking; this is on old situation that is reflected on students learning when they face contradictions existing in the practice scenes.

Based of the previous, a project was proposed that has the purpose to strengthen and enhance students learning within hospital scope, through training clinical tutor nurses to share the responsibility for teaching with an innovative methodology called Clinical Tutoring, and which got sponsorinfrom the Program for Supporting Teaching Innovation and Betterment (PAPIME EN 223403/UNAM ) in México City.

This project was structured to be achieved in three years; nowadays we are concluding the second year, and in the third year we hope to brace the tutorial model as a permanent strategy that contributes to enhance students’ upbringing quality. 

It is important to highlight that the tutorial model as the one we have started and from which we present the preliminary outcomes, has implications to learning achievement  and in generating new linking strategies between the School an the health institutions; this situation will be reflected when, in a determined time, the student succeeds in acquiring  more social and cognitive abilities that would allow him/her to be increasingly autonomous on his/her own professional decision and as a human being.
