Introduction:
Undergraduate nursing training requires the development of pedagogical practices in which aspects are incorporated to promote its characteristics as a profession, discipline, and art.
Objective:
To analyze the educational experiences in a group of nursing students on the subject of elderly care at a public university in the Los Lagos Region in Chile.
Methodology:
A clinical assessment guideline was implemented with the use of standardized language and the development of an artistic assignment; at the end of the course, the quantitative-qualitative evaluation of the experience was developed, through a questionnaire and the carrying out of focus groups and individual interviews. Of the 22 students in the course, 18 answered the questionnaire and 8 participated in focus groups and individual interviews.
Results:
The overall experience was positively valued by the students; it was evidenced that 80% reported that the assessment guideline used facilitated the application of the nursing process. Regarding the artistic work, the methodological strategies that allowed its development were appreciated, plus the contribution of the work represented for the management of care, the subject and personal areas.
Discussion:
The contributions that the methodology used could benefit by: solving problems related to the implementation of standardized language in professional practice and the formation of the competencies of being, are evident.
Conclusions:
It is necessary to incorporate pedagogical practices in nursing training that enhance both disciplinary strengthening and the competencies of being.
