Abstract
CARRILLO-PINEDA, Marcela; OSPINA-AYALA, Camila; ZEA-BUSTAMANTE, Luis Emilio and LEDESMA GIRALDO, Elizabet. Nursing student's education in informal spaces: potentialities of autonomous work. Index Enferm [online]. 2021, vol.30, n.4, pp.342-346. Epub June 27, 2022. ISSN 1699-5988.
Objective:
To analyse the contribution of autonomous work in informal spaces to educational processes in nursing.
Methods:
A particularistic ethnographic study was carried out. 27 observations were made with field notes in the informal spaces of two Nursing Schools in Medellín, Colombia; and 20 semi-structured interviews with nursing students. The codes and categories emerged using the method of constant comparisons.
Results:
Four categories were found. Individual autonomous work: “identifying what is most important”. “Studying together”: autonomous work in the company of peers. “Sharing experiences”: educational possibilities. “Do everything at the same time”: chaos and learning.
Conclusions:
The chaotic processes, interactions and autonomous work that nursing students carry out in informal spaces contribute to the development of comprehensive and experiential skills for their professional education.
Keywords : Nursing students; Learning; Qualitative research; Nursing education.
