Objectives:
To assess role-playing as a methodology in the teaching-learning process for the Nursing Degree. To identify the attitude of alumni (professionals) towards role-playing after entering the job market.
Introduction:
One of the worst fears of students is facing real situations that they will have to face soon, when they become professionals. Role-playing is a tool that allows the students act out real situations and reduce their concerns.
Participants And Context:
Five alumni (nurses) from the Nursing School of the University of Alicante. Academic years 2006-2007 and 2007-2008.
Methodology:
The reflexive nature of qualitative research is based on symbolic interactionism. COLLECTION OF DATA-SUMMARIES: The subject category chosen is role-playing and it is sorted into subcategories and codes.
Conclusions:
Findings from the analysis of the summaries have allowed us to see what actually happens when using role-playing as a teaching-learning tool in nursing, and what the consequences are for professionals, once they finish their studies.
