Humanización, salud y transculturalidad: una experiencia transformadora con la metodología aprendizaje-servicio
Abstract
El texto presenta la incorporación de la metodología Aprendizaje-Servicio (ApS) en el Trabajo Fin de Grado (TFG) de Enfermería (curso 2024-2025) en la Escuela Universitaria de Enfermería y Fisioterapia San Juan de Dios (Universidad Pontificia Comillas). Esta propuesta busca una formación más práctica y transformadora, conectando el aprendizaje académico con un servicio real a la comunidad.
La experiencia se desarrolla en colaboración con la Fundación Juanjo Torrejón, que trabaja con personas en situación de vulnerabilidad (exclusión social, población inmigrante, mujeres, mayores, adolescentes y niños). A través de intervenciones de salud pública y educación para la salud, el alumnado aplica conocimientos técnicos y, a la vez, fortalece competencias humanas y sociales como la empatía y la solidaridad.
El texto destaca dos ejes centrales: la humanización del cuidado (ver al paciente como un ser integral, con historia, emociones y valores) y la transculturalidad, subrayando la necesidad de adaptar la atención sanitaria a diferentes creencias y contextos culturales. Uno de los trabajos se orienta a mejorar el acceso de personas inmigrantes al sistema sanitario español, identificando barreras (trámites, desconocimiento del sistema e idioma) y proponiendo acciones para reducirlas. Como conclusión, se defiende que el futuro de la enfermería se apoya no solo en avances científicos, sino en un cuidado basado en humanidad, inclusión y compromiso social.
he text describes the introduction of the Service-Learning (ApS) methodology into the Nursing Bachelor’s Final Degree Project (TFG) (academic year 2024–2025) at the San Juan de Dios University School of Nursing and Physiotherapy (Universidad Pontificia Comillas). The aim is to provide a more practical and transformative education by linking academic learning with real community service. The experience is carried out in collaboration with the Juanjo Torrejón Foundation, which supports people in social vulnerability (social exclusion, immigrants, women, older adults, adolescents, and children). Through interventions in public health and health education, students apply technical knowledge while strengthening human and social skills such as empathy and solidarity. The text highlights two core pillars: humanized care (seeing the patient as a whole person with emotions, values, and life stories) and transculturality, emphasizing the need to adapt healthcare to different cultural beliefs and contexts. One project focuses on improving immigrants’ access to the Spanish healthcare system, identifying barriers (administrative procedures, lack of system knowledge, and language difficulties) and proposing actions to reduce them. Overall, it argues that the future of nursing depends not only on scientific advances, but also on care grounded in humanity, inclusion, and social commitment.
