ABSTRACT
Background: To know the way in which the student conceptualized
Humanism enables the professor of Psychiatry to use strategies
that foster humanistic attitudes in their students that will affect their
job performance.
Objective: Analyze the process of restructuring the concept of
humanism by students.
Method: It is a longitudinal qualitative study during five years, with
annual cross-sections, with students of the Faculty of Medicine of
the National Autonomous University of Mexico, in Mexico City of Applied
natural semantic networks The analysis included: 1) The total
words generated by the students on humanism, 2) The frequency
with which these were used, 3) The semantic value of the words,
4) The percentage distance, and 5) The formation of groups based
on their conceptual similarity.
Results: An average of 725 words was obtained during the five
years of their career In first and second year, the words that stood
out were ‘man’ and ‘help’; in the third year they were “male” and
“understanding”; in fourth year, ‘man’ and ‘culture’; and in the fifth
year, “man”, “understanding”, “help” and “person”. The words are
grouped into five categories: 1) feelings, values and attitudes, 2)
knowledge, 3) participants, 4) activities and 5) disciplines.
Conclusions: The seven defining words that are prevalent
throughout the study were integrated to form the following definition:
humanism as one that: “focuses on man as a supplier of help
and understanding in a society based on ethics, culture, and love”.
Results provide information for decision-making on education,
organization of content, selection of texts and implementation of
learning strategies.
