    Uso correcto y funcionamiento de equipos biomédicos en la enseñanza médica mediante simulación clínica : una investigación-acción
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2026) Guerrero, Ricardo; Sin departamento asociado
    This investigation explores how medical students learn to use and understand the functioning ofbiomedical equipment in clinical simulation courses, employing an action research design.Participants were selected through purposive and opinion-based sampling, which enabled theinclusion of diverse experiences related to the phenomenon under analysis. Data were collectedthrough two non-participant observations, two focus groups, twelve semi-structured interviews,two field notes, and a research journal that documented reflections, perceptions, and emotionsthroughout the process. Thematic analysis of the transcribed materials revealed that thecombination of progressive pedagogies, hands-on practice, frequent equipment handling,observation of professional use, and multidisciplinary teaching approaches enhances students’learning. Nevertheless, certain limitations were identified, particularly the persistent gap betweentheory and practice, which hinders the consolidation of competencies applicable in real clinicalsettings. Consequently, the study suggests that medical education should adopt strategies that increase interaction with biomedical equipment from early stages while simultaneouslystrengthening the integration between conceptual knowledge and practical experience.
