RESUMEN

INTRODUCCIÓN:

La literatura informa, ampliamente, que la formación repercute de manera positiva tanto en alumnos a la hora de afrontar sus prácticas clínicas como en el trabajo de los profesionales cuando atienden a personas en proceso de fin de vida, pero es escasa respecto a explicar el modo en que la formación repercute en la modificación del propio procesamiento emocional. El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar el efecto en la respuesta emocional, el grado de sufrimiento y la competencia ante la muerte de estudiantes de Enfermería tras cursar la asignatura de Cuidados Paliativos, incorporando como instrumento de evaluación una batería de imágenes afectivas (IAPS).

MÉTODO:

Estudio cuasi experimental con una muestra de 143 estudiantes distribuidos en 2 grupos, antes y después de cursar la asignatura, evaluando la respuesta emocional con el IAPS y el afrontamiento ante la muerte con la escala de Bugen. El instrumento de estímulos visuales utilizado consta de 36 imágenes y 4 condiciones como categorías emocionales agradable, neutra, desagradable y muerte.

RESULTADOS:

La respuesta emocional ante imágenes desagradables se mantiene igual en ambos grupos en cuanto a valencia, activación y dominancia, sin embargo los alumnos que han cursado la asignatura de Cuidados Paliativos se activan significativamente menos ante imágenes de muerte que aquellos que no han recibido la formación.

CONCLUSIÓN:

La formación en cuidados paliativos repercute de manera positiva en el procesamiento emocional, la gestión del sufrimiento y el afrontamiento relacionado con el fin de vida
ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

It is widely reported in the literature that training has a positive impact on students, and has an effect in their clinical practice and professional work when facing and caring for people at the end of life process, but how that formation affects and modifies the emotional processing itself is scarcely described. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect on the emotional response, the scale of suffering and being competent with death, in Nursing students after completing a Palliative Care course, incorporating a battery of affective pictures using the International affective picture system (IAPS) as an evaluation tool.

Method:

A quasi-experimental study was conducted on a sample of 143 students divided into 2 groups, one before and the other after completing the course, assessing the emotional response to the IAPS, and how they would face death using the Bugen's Coping with Death Scale. The visual stimuli tool used consists of 36 images and 4 conditions as emotional categories pleasant, neutral, unpleasant, and death.

RESULTS:

The emotional response to unpleasant images was similar in both groups, in terms of valence, arousal and dominance. However, the students who had taken the Palliative Care course reacted significantly less to death images than those who had not received any training.

CONCLUSIONS:

Training in palliative care positively affects the emotional processing of suffering management and confrontation related to the end of life
