RESUMO
El objetivo de este estudio ha sido evaluar el programa formativo de enfermería de empresa a través de la opinión de una muestra de enfermeros (n=381), una vez finalizado dicho programa entre 1998 y el 2003. Un total de 153 enfermeros (tasa de respuesta del 40%) respondieron a la encuesta sobre el programa; de éstos sólo 23 (15%) consideraron que el programa de postgrado presentaba limitaciones en los contenidos formativos y 10 (6,5%) que había contenidos prescindibles. De un 13,1% que trabajaban exclusivamente en enfermería de empresa antes de iniciar la formación, se pasó al 54,3% después de finalizada. La utilidad del programa para su desarrollo profesional se valoró con una puntuación media de 7,8 sobre 10. Estos resultados muestran que el programa formativo evaluado puede constituir una experiencia positiva a tener en cuenta al definir el programa de la futura especialidad
A survey on training program content was conducted in a sample of occupational health nurses (n=381) who completed their training between 1998 and 2003. One hundred fifty-three nurses responded (response rate, 40%). Among these, 23 (15%) considered that the programme was lacking some related training content, and 10 (6.5%) thought that some training content could have been missing. The proportion of respondents working only in occupational health nursing was 13.1% prior to starting their training; this increased to 54.3% after program completion. The usefulness of the training programme for their professional development was rated as high, with a mean score of 7.8 on a scale of 10. These results suggest that the training programme had had a positive impact, and that this should be taken into account in future revisions of the specialty training curriculum
