Resumen
ATENCIO-PAULINO, Joel Isaac et al. Use of evidence-based study techniques in medical students, Peru. Med. clín. soc. [online]. 2023, vol.7, n.3, pp.202-209. ISSN 2521-2281. https://doi.org/10.52379/mcs.v7i3.326.
Introduction:
The use of evidence-based techniques by students is a fundamental method for learning.
Objective:
To evaluate the frequency of the use of evidence-based study techniques in medical students from a university in Peru.
Methods:
A cross-sectional observational study was carried out with 75 students of human medicine from the National University of Central Peru through a survey that collected study techniques and other variables, selected by non-probabilistic sampling.
Results:
(58.73%) were male, one (58.7%), did not use evidence-based study techniques, low-medium family socioeconomic level (33.3%). The most used study material was books (58.14%), followed by scientific articles (24%); (45.3%) spent between 4-6 hours studying and (40%) used the "Active recall" technique. For their part, (53.3%) enjoyed studying "sometimes", (70.7%) postponed studying "sometimes" and (62.7%) had difficulty concentrating "sometimes". Furthermore, our findings indicate that those who studied for less than 2 hours preferred educational videos, while students who dedicated 6-8 hours chose to engage with reading books, scientific articles, and evidence-based slides. Similarly, those encountering difficulties 'most of the time' tended to overuse slides, whereas those facing difficulties 'always' favored educational videos (p<0.05).
Discussion:
The use of evidence-based techniques by human medicine students is still not the majority, only half maintain active use in their professional training, it is unknown or its implementation has a low level. Knowing these variables will make it possible to carry out schemes and educational talks in future professionals.
