Abstract

Objective: To analyze the transversal competences of the clinical tutors in the Unique Program of Specializations in Nursing of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, in terms of the perceptions of its graduates to identify areas of opportunity regarding the formation through clinical tutoring.

Material and Methods: This is a descriptive and transversal study. The unit of analysis is the graduate nursing student. Clinical tutoring was analyzed with an instrument which was validated by the panel of experts and which was adjusted after using a related pilot study with self-administered surveys through the Google platform. The sample was constituted by 448 graduates.

Results: Descriptive statistics show the major frequencies in the discipline related dimension, and the minor frequencies in the clinical teaching related dimension. In general, the dimensions considered for transversal competency show weaknesses which can be related to the attention to emotional difficulties, the decision making at the site, and the management of interpersonal conflicts, besides the tutoring planning.

Conclusion: Clinical tutoring in Graduate Nursing is a pivot which strengthens the bases to address clinical problems and use the scientific evidence and its expression in specialized care. The dimensions considered for transversal competency show that, in the development of interpersonal and communication skills, there are strategic actions which can be leveraged to promote the interaction with patients, families, and other health professionals within the clinical context.
