Resumen

Background: Historically, education regarding aspects such as empathy, communication, therapeutic relationships, teamwork and self-care, has been part of a hidden curriculum in medicine and nursing programs. In recent years, due to a crisis in the human dimension of healthcare and increased burnout in healthcare staff, there has been global tendency to develop integrated and cross-curricular educational agendas in healthcare programs related to the humanizing and compassionate dimensions of care.
Aims: To describe curricular contents, educational practices, attitudes and knowledge of teachers and students regarding compassionate care at a school of health sciences in Colombia.
Methods: a descriptive, observational and mixed quantitative-qualitative study is being conducted. First, a description and analysis of the curricular contents of the medicine and nursing programs is currently being done. Then, a survey to identify educational practices and contents regarding compassionate care education (including themes such as compassion, caregiving, empathy, communication, therapeutic relationship, teamwork, selfcare) in medicine and nursing will be administered. Teachers (n = 524), current students (group leaders and student-monitors n = 96), and formal students (enrolled in postgraduate programs at the school of health sciences n = 64) of both programs will be invited to complete the survey. Finally, focus groups including teachers and current and formal students of the programs will be conducted for an in-depth exploration of educational contents and practices, attitudes, and knowledge towards compassionate care at the school of health sciences. Data will be analyzed using a mixed-methods approach.
Impact: This study will help identify specific issues and facts related to compassionate care education at the school of health sciences, which will constitute a baseline towards the development of a cross-curricular, integrated, and visible education strategy in compassionate care. As a result of this effort, a second phase of the Humanae project will be conducted to optimize educational strategies towards compassionate care using a collaborative work approach including, teachers, current and formal students and directives.
