Internado Curricular Supervisado: atribuciones y limitaciones desde la perspectiva de la enfermera supervisora, asesora de la facultad y gerente

ABSTRACT

Objectives:

to describe the attributions and limitations in internship nursing supervisors’, faculty advisors’ and managers’ work in the process of carrying out Supervised Internship in nursing education.

Methods:

a qualitative exploratory-descriptive research. Interviews were conducted between February and July 2018 with 26 participants: four managers, nine faculty advisors, six primary care nursing supervisors and seven hospital care nursing supervisors. Data analysis was performed using the Content Analysis technique.

Results:

among the main attributions are participation in the organization of the field, mediation between educational and health institutions, presentation of the world of work; as limitations are the high number of institutions in the field, work overload, lack of commitment or lack of didactic preparation towards student education.

Final Considerations:

we evidenced the need to (re)define and clarify everyone’s roles and (re)think the integration strategies for monitoring students.
