Abstract
Objectives: to ascertain the degree of satisfaction and perceived utility that Nursing students in the University of Girona have regarding the self-control journals used during their clinical practice sessions in the Hospital of Palamós.
Material and method: cross-sectional, descriptive study in a population comprised of 65 first, second and third year Nursing students. The main variables were: utility of the journal, work load, satisfaction regarding the utility of the journal and utility of the journal in the teacher’s follow-up of students. A self-elaborated survey was used for data collection. Frequencies were calculated for categorical variables and mean and standard deviation for continuous variables, as well as mean comparison using ANOVA with a 95% confidence interval.
Results: participants granted the self-control journal a mean score of 7,86 (SD: 0,8). 95,8% of participants expressed a positive opinion of this tool. 98,6% claimed it did not entail an overload of work. 78,1% reported that the journal provided them with a feeling of control.
Conclusions: the journal is an effective, useful and practical tool to improve the learning of nursing clinical practices. It would be advisable to computerize the journal for a better use of its contents.
