Abstract

Objectives: to learn about the socio-professional characteristics of the group of students in the Course of Adaptation to the Degree (CAE), and the satisfaction perceived by them regarding the End of Course Project (ECP).
Method: transversal descriptive study, in the SESPA School of Nursing (Gijón) during the 2010-2011 term. The population studied was the CAE students in the first class of said school. Information about the socio-professional characteristics was obtained from curriculum vitae provided by students. A survey was designed, tested and distributed, in order to explore the quality perceived in terms of: ECP development, tutoring and method of assessment, measured through a Liker-type scale, in which the minimum value was one and the maximum was six.
Results: the average profile of the studied population is that of a nurse coming from clinical practice, under 40-year-old, and with a median work experience of 11 years, who has completed a major number of “commercial” courses, and a lower number of courses with quality guaran­tee, and with a limited background regarding scientific contributions in events, publications and research. There is a perception of high quality regarding the course subject, tutoring and assessment.
Conclusions: all these characteristics must be taken into account in the CAD teaching plan, and specifically for the ECP.
