Experiences of student nurses understood from a focus group assisted by technology during COVID-19

Objective: To explore the experiences of student nurses in their family, social, academic and work contexts in times of COVID-19. Method: The study has a hermeneutical interpretive approach, guided by the technology-assisted focus group technique, which allowed the interaction and free expression of the participants. A methodological guide was used with five questions directed by the moderator and collection of field notes. Grounded theory was applied as a method of analysis of the narrative corpus. Results: the demands of the pandemic and the intersections of emerging roles are found to run through the body;economic capitals turn to and fro;and academic training is perceived as incomplete between absences and support networks. Conclusion: young students have little capital to advance in the transition of life trajectories during the pandemic. Due to the intersection between his studies in exclusive virtuality, emerging family and economic demands, suffer physical, mental and relational alterations;on the other, they consider their learning in this modality insufficient. However, the pedagogical sensitivity of some teachers, the spirituality and the support of the State, are evaluated by them as relevant supports that allow them to adapt to these changes and overcome obstacles.

Reinvention of daily life in women from cúcuta in times of covid-19

An approach is made to everyday life, in relation to practices, relationships and subjectivities, taking into account the theoretical perspectives of Agnes Heller and Norbert Elías. The proposed objective is to investigate the transformations of the daily life of the woman living in Cúcuta during the period of isolation by the COVID-19. Grounded theory was applied as the analytical method of a qualitative study with a phenomenological approach in which 15 women participated. The results, based on in-depth interviews, indicate four general categories and a central one, which account for the construction of a new daily life, where awareness-for-itself emerges as an ethical and political act to face the economic situation, transfer between the need and the fear of contagion in parallel spaces and times between work, care, study and recreation;heterogeneous forms of relating and actions are given in virtuality with the family and other contexts;they become new subjectivities that hierarchically reveal the relevance of self-worth, family, life, the presence of the other, faith and the environment. © 2020 Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Valparaiso.
