[Practical training in primary care for nursing students: evaluation assessment by nurses' satisfaction].
OBJECTIVE
To show that nursing skills and activities are acquired by third-year nursing students while they are doing their Primary Care practicals in the Health Centres and to discover the level of satisfaction of the students after these practicals.


METHODS
A descriptive study, using a questionnaire on the level of satisfaction.


METHODS
Huerta del Rey Health Centre, Valladolid.


METHODS
Twenty-four third-year nursing students doing Primary Care practicals during the teaching year 1991-2.


RESULTS
Before their practical studies in the Health Centre, 50% or more of the students defined as unknown or little-known the following nursing skills: taking out ear-plugs, extraction of blood, respiratory physiotherapy and stitching. After the nurses had finished the practicals, the items which reflected general satisfaction obtained positive percentages above 72.2%.


CONCLUSIONS
Nursing skills and activities which are specific to Primary Care are unknown to most nursing students before their period of practical work in a Health Centre. The same occurs with certain basic nursing skills and activities. Students were highly satisfied.
