Nursing resident action planning in the hemodialysis service: experience report in a multidisciplinary residency program

Abstract

Introduction: Reflection and identification of limiting factors related to practical teaching in Multiprofessional Residency Programs is extremely important for proposing interventions and improvements. The preceptor's limited perception of their educational role, the dissociation between theory and practice and the inadequacy of resident supervision processes are topics that must be addressed in this scenario. Objective: To share the authors' experience regarding the organization and execution of a nursing resident's activity plan in the hemodialysis service at a University Hospital. Methodology: This is an experience report on an intervention carried out by the authors, nurses, as preceptors of two Multiprofessional Residency Programs at a University Hospital, in which students cover various fields of practice. Experience report: Limiting factors of the programs were identified, subject to intervention and improvement of daily practice. The activities developed concern the welcome and ambience of the new resident; planning the student's theoretical and practical activities, supervising and directing actions; and reflections on the evaluation practice recommended by the Programs and that which has been used by the authors, considering self-evaluation and immediate feedback. Conclusion: It is concluded that from the actions carried out, with prior delineation of activities and involvement of resident students, preceptor nurses, tutors and sectoral team in general, greater security and proactivity was perceived to develop the programmed assignments, as well as greater stimulus participation and sharing of daily observations.
