Abstract(s)
O ensino superior continua a ser fustigado pela evidência de que os estudantes não estão a
aprender o que precisam para serem bem-sucedidos no contexto universitário e na sua vida
profissional. Assim, o desenvolvimento de profissionais e a integração deste com o
desenvolvimento a nível pessoal tem ganho um foco na investigação. O desenvolvimento
pessoal começa a emergir como um conceito valorizado ao nível do desenvolvimento
profissional, percebendo-se o impacto que a interligação destes tem, mostrando que se facilitam
um ao outro. A importância deste conceito emerge na população de profissionais na área dos
cuidados, compreendendo-se que o treino de cuidadores pode funcionar como um
impulsionador do desenvolvimento pessoal.
Para conseguir estudar este processo é necessário perceber quais as experiências de
desenvolvimento, e a sua natureza, pelas quais os estudantes passam durante o treino. Desta
forma, o presente estudo, através de perguntas de resposta aberta assumiu um carácter
exploratório e utilizou uma metodologia qualitativa. Com uma amostra de 18 estudantes de
Psicologia e 12 de Enfermagem, e investigou a questão: “Qual o impacto de uma Unidade
Curricular (UC) semestral para o desenvolvimento de estudantes na área dos cuidados
(Psicologia e Enfermagem)?”, com um foco no seu processo de desenvolvimento pessoal.
Os resultados encontrados mostram um impacto das UC’s no processo de desenvolvimento,
relevando diversas mudanças. É revelado um processo de desenvolvimento pessoal, e são
descritas mudanças a este nível. São encontrados fatores que influenciaram o processo de
desenvolvimento profissional e pessoal. Os resultados são, ainda, comparados ao nível das duas
amostras estudadas.
Discutem-se os resultados com base na literatura revista e nas questões e objetivos da
investigação e tecem-se conclusões, limitações e implicações.
Higher education continues to be battered by the evidence that students are not learning what they need, to do well in the university setting and beyond, in their professional lives. Therefore, professional development and its integration with personal development, start to gain experimental momentum. Personal development is starting to emerge as a valued concept in light of professional development, acknowledging the impact of their interrelation, showing that each facilitates the other. The importance of this concept emerges in the population of caregive professions, it being understood that caregiver training may boost personal development and vice-versa. To study this process it is necessary to understand which are the development experiences, and their nature, that students go through during training. The central research question was “What is the impact of a semester’s course for the development of students in the caregiving training path (Psychology and Nursing)?”. This study used a qualitative methodology with a sample of 18 Psychology and 12 Nursing students, and data was analysed using Thematic Analysis, with a special focus on the personal development processes. Results show the courses impacted the developmental process in a positive way. Personal development processes are revealed, and several changes towards self improvement are described. Factors that influence professional and personal development, both positively and negatively, are found. The results of the two samples are compared. The results are discussed based on the reviewed literature and the research questions and goals, and conclusions, limitations and implications are weaven.
