Abstract
CISTERNA-HIDALGO, Sara Stephanie; CABEZAS-GONZALEZ, Mirtha and ULESCA-PRETTY, Mónica. Clinical supervisor in a medium-complexity hospital: viewpoint of Nutrition and Dietetics students. rev.fac.med. [online]. 2018, vol.66, n.1, pp.53-58. ISSN 0120-0011. https://doi.org/10.15446/revfacmed.v66n1.61499.
Introduction:
The importance of clinical supervisors in the training process of future health professionals is evident.
Objective:
To know the opinion of the Nutrition and Dietetics students from the Autonomous University of Chile-Temuco regarding the role of clinical supervisors from the Internal Medicine Service of the Dr. Dino Stagno Hospital in the professional practice with adults.
Materials and methods:
Qualitative, descriptive and interpretative research carried out through an intrinsic case study using a non-probabilistic and intentional sample. An interview was applied for data collection after obtaining a signed informed consent. Data analysis followed a progressive reduction scheme and validation was made using rigor and triangulation criteria according to the researchers.
Results:
105 units of analysis allowed obtaining four categories: factors that hinder the development of the practice (31); factors that favor the development of the practice (30); experience acquired during practice (28), and achievement of program objectives during the practice (16). Finally, a qualitative domain was obtained.
Conclusions:
Developing professional practice in the adult Internal Medicine Service is a positive experience for students since it allows them to develop self-learning skills, acquire other kinds of skills and achieve the objectives of medical internship. Human resources in hospitals are a favoring factor, and the absence and scarce communication with the university supervisor is an impeding factor.
