Estresores que influyen desfavorablemente en estudiantes chilenos de Obstetricia y Puericultura, durante las prácticas clínicas / Stressors that unfavorably influence Chilean students of Obstetrics and Childcare, during clinical practices
las situaciones de estrés que viven con mayor intensidad los estudiantes se deben a la inseguridad que representa enfrentarse a situaciones nuevas y al miedo a no saber responder con un dominio adecuado de las competencias, más que a un rasgo de su personalidad.
Background:
clinical practices are an essential component for the training of students of Obstetrics and Childcare, because they allow applying the theoretical knowledge acquired.
stressors that affect the clinical practice of the second and third year obstetricsstudents were identified; it was found, through the application of the Kezkak questionnaire, that the highest are related to competencies, impotence and uncertainty; and as less worrisome, interpersonal relationships and emotional involvement, including the death of a patient, the latter given by inexperience in the care of the terminally ill; Stai's questionnaire indicates that the anxiety / trait is greater compared to the anxiety / condition.
Conclusions:
the situations of stress that students live with greater intensity are due to the insecurity that represents facing new situations and the fear of not knowing how to respond with a proper mastery of the skills, rather than a feature of his personality.
