| Sumario: | Objective: This study sets out to design and implement a teaching sequence that offers students the opportunity to acquire the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values necessary to deal with a confrontational patient. In the design of the teaching methodology we have opted for an active teaching strategy, namely what is commonly entitled the Case Method. Method: The development of the Case was conducted during the 2011-2012 academic year and implementation took place in the academic year 2012-2013 across the curriculum, in the subject modules “Relations and Communications in Nursing Care” and “Geriatric Nursing”, in the second year of the Undergraduate course in Nursing at the University of the Basque Country. Results: The results of the implementation indicate that the CM is a satisfactory tool for the acquisition of the desired competencies, as well as a learning method that is well received by the students. At the end of the process, 72.8% of them shared the opinion that “this methodology has helped me more or much more than traditional ‘chalk and talk’ expository methodology”. Moreover, 93% of the students were successful in achieving at least the minimum learning results required. All the same, there were more than a few instances when the students said they felt overwhelmed. Implications: The study has provided evidence that the Case Method contributes to the acquisition of competencies that every nurse will need during their career. This should spur us on to continue extending the ranges of possibilities that active methodologies offer us. |
