Abstract
Introduction: Health internships are essential to the training of future professionals. This article highlights the importance of adequate supervision and good clinical practice in ensuring effective training.
Methods: A qualitative study was carried out with ten students from the Faculty of Health Sciences, using anonymous interviews. The data were analyzed to saturation point, allowing us to explore the trainees' experiences.
Results: The testimonies reveal a number of malpractices, such as non-compliance with asepsis techniques, a lack of professionalism and violations of patients' rights. The students observed inappropriate behavior on the part of nursing staff, including abuse during deliveries and illegal sales of medicines. In addition, the management of medical resources was found to be deficient, with data falsification.
Discussion: The findings highlight shortcomings in supervision and working conditions, compromising student training and safety. The testimonies highlight the need to reform the healthcare system to improve clinical practices and guarantee an adequate learning environment.
Conclusion: To ensure quality training for future healthcare professionals and fair patient care, it is crucial to establish supervisory mechanisms, train staff in ethics and fight corruption. These reforms are essential to restore confidence in Brazzaville's healthcare system.
