Learning non-technical skills from the perspective of Medical graduates
Keywords:
social skills, hospital emergency service, Medical facultiesAbstract
Introduction: Emergency care is characterized by the assistance to patients at imminent risk of life or with intense suffering and, for favorable results, requires the articulation of technical and non-technical skills. Non-technical skills, the focus of this study, can be illustrated by team leadership, delegation of functions, clear and respectful communication, organization of emergency care, self-control, and the ability to manage adversities.
Objective: To know the vision of graduates of the Medicine course on learning non-technical skills in the context of emergency care.
Methods: This was a qualitative research. Audio-recorded interviews were conducted through an online platform, with 20 graduates of the Medicine course, from the university where the study was conducted. The interviews were examined through thematic analysis.
Results: Three themes were developed, two of them with a subtheme each, in which the experiences of the graduates after academic training, their perception of the importance of non-technical skills in medical practice, and some limitations in teaching were brought together, regarding the pedagogical and structural aspects of the course.
Conclusion: Graduation offered few practical experiences for the development of non-technical skills due to various factors. It is suggested the realization of more studies that outline strategies during the training period, that can enhance the development of non-technical skills by the Medicine student.
