The final sample consists of 41 participants. <br /><strong>Results</strong>: High efficiency is perceived by these professionals of this dynamic , with an average of 8 over 10 (DS=0.62). The most robust correlations turned out to be the emotional management, mutual support, group belonging and aid in the personal sphere, all of them (p<0,01). <br /><strong>Conclusions</strong>: The greatest perceived benefits were related to the emotional level and the group relationship, followed by learning professional skills.
