Sammanfattning
Within the concept of PBL (Problem
Based Learning,) which is the
idea of pedagogy in The Faculty of
Health Sciences in Linköping, integration
of theory and practise is
seen as prerequisite for the learning
process. A project involving tutorial
groups has been carried out in The
Nursing Programme with the aim
of integrating theoretical and clinical
studies. These tutorial groups
were made up of students and their
clinical preceptors and a teacher
from the programme acted as tutor.
The aim of the project was to integrate
theoretical and clinical studies
at a higher education level in
the practical part of the training.
The tutorial group met once a week
for a period of seven weeks. The
work of the tutorial group had as its
starting-point the result of an
assessment made by one of the students,
and the subsequent work was
based on the problem- solving process.
The resources of the clinic and
the patient yielded useful information.
Evaluation of group activities showed
that all of the students as well
as the preceptors reached the conclusion
that tutorial groups should
be included in clinical studies. Integrated
tutorial groups create
during clinical studies a basis for
critical reflection regarding nursing
care. The coming together of clinically
active nurses, students and
teachers creates the conditions for
activity at a higher education level
and leads to greater understanding
of the various professional skill
aeras.
