Prácticas profesionales en post-confinamiento

Experiencias subjetivas de estudiantes de Psicología

Abstract

The present research aims to understand the subjective experience of professional practice in face-to-face mode, of psychology students in a Chilean public university, after the long period of confinement due to the COVID-19 socio-health crisis. The study is based on a narrative-biographical perspective with three final-year students in different areas of professional training. The results show the socioemotional effect caused by the confinement and its progressive decrease in the course of the professional practice, which offers new subjective reinterpretations of tensions that can be considered common in these scenarios, such as the relationship with their supervisors, the expectations of job placement, the relationship with the practice center, among others. With these results, we suggest expanding this field of research into the professional practices of those who are training at university, as this is a context of professionalization that is scarcely addressed as such.
