Current Status of Teaching Competencies among Nursing Residents in Neonatal-Pediatrics in Holguín

Authors

Abstract

Introduction: Teaching competencies constitute a set of knowledge, abilities, skills, experiences, motivations, feelings, values, and personal characteristics of the teacher, which are mobilized in an integrated, coordinated, and combined manner to perform more effectively. The teaching methods of specialists in Neonatal and Pediatric nursing will come closer to the desired and necessary standards with a training process that contributes to the development of their teaching skills.

Objective: To characterize the current state of teaching skills training among residents in Neonatal and Pediatric Nursing in Holguín.

Methods: A mixed-methods study was conducted, using theoretical methods (document review, analysis-synthesis, historical-logical, and induction-deduction) and empirical methods (survey, observation, and interview), as well as statistical methods. The results were triangulated.

Results: The findings of the document review did not mention specific teaching skills, nor was there any evidence of the use of technology in the training process. The training of specific teaching skills showed the lowest values with an average of 3.03, followed by cross-cutting skills (3.07); and the best results were for basic skills (4.02). Within specific teaching skills, the lowest value was related to theoretical knowledge and practical skills in planning and organizing the teaching-learning process, with an average of 2.70.

Conclusions: The research identified deficiencies in the training process for teaching skills among residents. Specific skills were determined to be the most difficult.
