Formación clínica en carreras de la salud: ¿dónde se incluye la diversidad?

Resumen

Background: Educational inclusion, a concept that has changed over time, is becoming relevant. It initially considered only disability and now contemplates education for all people. Educational inclusion has special relevance in health care workers' training, who will have direct contact with heterogeneous populations, where diversity-oriented treatments are required. Aim: To describe how diversity is integrated into health care training in a clinical context. Material and Methods: A qualitative study, based on Grounded Theory. Two group interviews and thirteen semi-structured interviews were conducted among 11 teachers and 25 students of health careers. Data was analyzed using Atlas-ti 7.5.2. A constant comparison method, reaching an axial coding level, was used. Results: The category of training in health careers in the context of diversity emerged. It is a process that operates in cognitive, affective and behavioral dimensions. It accounts for the diversity of system actors and the model of a health professional and teacher facing diversity. Conclusions: These dimensions should be understood during clinical training.
