Worked example como método de ensino da ausculta cardíaca pediátrica para estudantes de Medicina / Worked example as a method for teaching pediatric cardiac auscultation to Medical students

Resumo: Introdução: A performance e a acurácia da ausculta cardíaca de médicos recém-formados estão aquém do esperado, o que resulta em excesso de encaminhamentos para o cardiologista, solicitação de exames desnecessários e atraso diagnóstico. O desenvolvimento de metodologias de ensino eficazes é necessário para melhorar a ausculta cardíaca e a capacidade diagnóstica dos médicos recém-graduados. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo verificar a eficácia do uso da metodologia do worked example, comparada ao ensino tradicional de aulas expositivas da semiologia do aparelho cardiovascular. Método: Participaram do estudo 56 alunos do quarto ano da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais. Trata-se de um estudo experimental que comparou a eficácia do modelo de ensino baseado na metodologia do worked example com a metodologia tradicional de aula expositiva sobre ausculta cardíaca pediátrica. Os alunos foram randomizados em grupo experimental e grupo de controle, e avaliados em fases distintas - pré-teste, pós-teste imediato e pós-teste tardio. Resultado: A partir da Análise de Variância de Medidas Repetidas, houve efeito significativo em ambos os métodos de treinamento quando se considerou a fase do estudo (p < 0,001). Os dois grupos obtiveram desempenhos semelhantes independentemente do método de treinamento (p = 0,863). Conclusão: A metodologia ativa conhecida como worked example pode ser tão eficaz quanto uma metodologia tradicional no ensino e aprendizagem da ausculta cardíaca pediátrica.

Abstract: Introduction: The cardiac auscultation performance of newly graduated physicians is below expectations, which results in excessive referrals to cardiologists, requests for unnecessary tests and delays in diagnosis. The development of effective teaching methodologies is necessary to improve cardiac auscultation and the diagnostic capacity of newly graduated physicians. Methods: 56 students from the 4th year of Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil, participated in an experimental study to compare the effectiveness of the pedagogical model based on the worked example methodology when compared to the traditional methodology of lectures on pediatric cardiac auscultation. The students were randomized into an experimental group and a control group and evaluated in different phases - pre-test, immediate post-test and later post-test. Results: From the Analysis of Variance of Repeated Measures, there was a significant effect observed in both training methods when considering the study phase (p < 0.001). Both groups obtained similar performances regardless of the training method (p = 0.863). Conclusion: This study suggests that an active methodology can be as effective as a traditional methodology in teaching and learning Pediatric Cardiac Auscultation.

Doctor Carlos Manuel Miyares Cao, paradigma de médico / Dr. Carlos Manuel Miyares Cao, an example of an outstanding doctor

José Martí sentenció: "Saberse sacrificar es el precio del éxito durable en todo", y con grandes sacrificios y éxitos en su vida laboral se resume la obra del Dr. Carlos Manuel Miyares Cao, un médico excepcional que supo vincular sus responsabilidades administrativas con la investigación y desarrollo, y la asistencia médica. Incansable luchador por los avances de la Medicina, gestor de la Escuela Cubana de Farmacología, representa un gran ejemplo para los médicos cubanos y de Latinoamérica.

El Dr. Miyares fue nombrado entre los primeros Instructores no graduados en la cátedra de Farmacología de la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de La Habana, tras la renuncia de los profesores universitarios.

One of his most fraternal fellow students says, "... I remember him very clearly; he was tall and because of his height he was among the ranks of the final lines; with his rifle he used to march with the discipline that characterized him during all his life." With his words, he illustrated the principles and convictions that marked his existence. After the resignation of university professors, Dr. Miyares was appointed among the first undergraduate Pharmacy instructors at the Department of Pharmacology of the School of Medicine of the University of Havana. He was also the founder of the AJR (Association of Young Rebels) and the UJC (Union of Young Communists) in the university.
