Evaluative Practices Facilitating Self-Care

Evaluative practices as facilitators of self-care is a thesis that was carried out for the master's degree in education at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana. The proposal aims to explore the evaluative practices that are carried out in the Santa Clara Hospital (Bogotá, Colombia) and how these practices encourage self-care in medical students. This is achieved through a qualitative approach with an interpretative scope, developed especially as a case study. Instruments such as surveys and a field diary were used to identify these evaluative practices in the institution. Applying criteria of methodological rigour, and carrying out a process of analysis of the information. The main results revolve around the three categories and their emerging nuclei in which the evaluative processes generated by self-care are described. Finally, the findings are shown as recommendations for the institution, regarding the evaluative practices that should foster self-care in medical students.
