AN EXPERIENCE ABOUT THE REFLECTIVE DIARY USE AS AN INSTRUMENT TO FOLLOW-UP AND EVALUATE THE HOSPITAL PRACTICES OF NURSING STUDENTS
Abstract
The European Higher Education Space outlines several changes on the perspectives both on the basic function of the nursing discipline, on the structure of the universitary curriculum and on the teaching/learning process based in the skills. This changes prompt us to a integrated organization of the clinical practices of the curriculum subject. In this way, we had promoted a Clinical Practices Project based on the skills to be acquired by the second course students of the Degree in Nursing of the University of Córdoba during the academic course 2006-07. In this Project the following subjects had participated: Medical-Surgical Nursing I, Maternal-Infantile Nursing I and Clinical Farmacology, Nutrition and Dietary. The objective of this article is to analyze the use of the Reflexive Diary as an assessment technique, i. e., has an instrument to follow and evaluate the learning results of the professional skills in the integrated clinical practices of those subjects.Downloads
