Material y métodos: investigación cualitatitiva de tipo acción participativa; se realizó entre febrero y julio de 2010, en 50 estudiantes de sexto semestre de la Carrera de Médico Cirujano de la Facultad de Medicina del Centro Universitario São Camilo, São Paulo, Brasil. Resultados: se identificaron cuatro ejes temáticos representados con frases personales o textos que atrajeron la atención de los estudiantes: 1) Necesidad de combinar los conocimientos técnicos y humanísticos. 2) Paralelismos con la vida real. 3) La clarificación de las situaciones difíciles. 4) Oportunidad de reflexionar sobre el dolor, el sufrimiento y la muerte. Conclusiones: la reflexión sobre las narraciones literarias nos enseñan la compasión y la empatía, cualidades esenciales para la buena práctica médica, y permiten percatarnos que a veces los pacientes no requieren de intervenciones complejas, sino de acciones simples tomadas por los médicos que trabajan con buena voluntad.Facultad de Medicina2011-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.revistas.unam.mx/index.php/atencion_familiar/article/view/2610410.22201/facmed.14058871p.2011.3.26104Atención Familiar; Vol. 18 Núm. 32992-782X10.22201/facmed.14058871p.2011.3reponame:Atención Familiarinstname:UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL AUTÓNOMA DE MÉXICOinstacron:UNAMspahttps://www.revistas.unam.mx/index.php/atencion_familiar/article/view/26104/24556info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/261042024-08-16T16:51:42Z
