Abstract
* The aim of this article is to communicate the results obtained from the evaluation of the reflective diary and its practical application in the tutorised self-learning of the nurse-residents in the speciality of mental health nursing.
* The use of the reflective diary as an educational tool stemmed from the consideration of the Resident as the focus of the educational process and the main protagonist of learning, and from the idea that significant learning implies an exercise in personal reflection. Having used it in the first cohorts of specialists, and after due evaluation, we have seen confirmation of the reflective diary as a basic educational tool as from the results obtained we have confirmed that it serves three main purposes: to bring to light sensations, reflections, and feelings experienced during practice; to record and follow up the activities carried out and the objectives achieved; and to collect data for evaluation of the resident.
