Entre la angustia del practicante y las demandas hospitalarias : Una oportunidad para la formación clínica.

Abstract

The present research analyzed how hospital institutional demand generated anxiety in clinical psychology practitioners and how this experience mobilized their desire for clinical training. In the hospital context, practitioners faced demands that required immediate responses, which limited the possibility of in-depth interventions and generated significant pressure. Key concepts such as anxiety, institutional demand and clinical training were examined, with the aim of proposing strategies that allow them to develop know-how in the face of hospital contingency. In addition to evidencing the impact of institutional demand, this research sought to make visible the difficulties that practitioners go through in the institution, highlighting the importance of case supervision, personal analysis and epistemological updating as fundamental tools to strengthen their training. To do this, a qualitative approach was used based on semi-structured questionnaires and the analysis of clinical vignettes, which allowed us to understand their experiences in the face of institutional pressure and expectations. The results reflected that supervision, personal analysis and theoretical updating were essential strategies to face distress and consolidate clinical practice in the hospital setting.
