El paradigma de investigación cualitativa en la educación médica / The qualitative research paradigm in medical education

RESUMEN Introducción: la investigación cualitativa aplicada a la salud reconoce la interdependencia entre el investigador y los actores que participan en el proceso de construcción del conocimiento. La influencia de este paradigma viene dada por la importancia que le da al conocimiento del sentido común, la vida cotidiana, el espacio donde transcurre y se construye la existencia, a fin de encontrar respuestas y otras dimensiones al proceso salud-enfermedad. Objetivo: exponer la importancia de los principales elementos del paradigma de investigación cualitativa en la salud a través de la educación médica. Métodos: se realizó una revisión de fuentes bibliográficas y documentos obtenidos de búsquedas en Google Académico y SciELO, bases de datos en Infomed a partir de palabras claves definidas durante el período 2016-2020. Se seleccionaron 37 documentos que incluyeron normativas y estudios clásicos vinculados a la temática. El análisis de contenido de los documentos seleccionados permitió exponer la importancia sobre los principales elementos del paradigma de investigación cualitativa en salud los que fueron valorados críticamente teniendo en cuanta la experiencia de los autores. Desarrollo: la investigación cualitativa explora la concepción cultural y simbólica que la población tiene. Es útil para comprender los aspectos subjetivos de la salud y la enfermedad, genera información valiosa sobre el contexto-ambiente, vivencias y significados que construyen los sujetos. Conclusiones: lo cualitativo en la investigación en salud permite adentrarse en el mundo del sentido común y búsqueda de significados para poder encontrarle sentido al síntoma, al signo desde lo subjetivo vivido por quien lo padece.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Qualitative research applied to health recognizes the interdependence between the researcher and the actors who participate in the knowledge construction process. The influence of this paradigm is given by the importance it gives to the knowledge of common sense, daily life, the space where existence takes place and it is built, in order to find answers and other dimensions to the health-disease process. Objective: to present the importance of the main elements of the paradigm of qualitative research in health through medical education. Methods: a review of bibliographic sources and documents obtained from searches in Google Scholar, SciELO, and Info med databases was carried out based on keywords defined during the 2016-2020 period. 37 documents were selected that included regulations and classic studies related to the topic. The content analysis of the selected documents allowed exposing the importance of the main elements of the qualitative research paradigm in health, which were critically assessed taking into account the experience of the authors. Development: qualitative research explores the cultural and symbolic conception that the population has. It is useful to understand the subjective aspects of health and disease, it generates valuable information about the context-environment, experiences and meanings that the subjects construct. Conclusions: the qualitative paradigm in health research allows entering the world of common sense and search for meanings to be able to find meaning to the symptom, to the sign from the subjective experience of those who suffer from it.

La comunicación científica en investigaciones que asumen el enfoque cualitativo: una mirada valorativa / Scientific communication in researches that assume the qualitative approach: an evaluative view

RESUMEN Fundamento: la comunicación de los resultados científicos resulta un proceso complejo máxime si se trata de describir, narrar o valorar el proceso investigativo desde el enfoque cualitativo de la investigación. Objetivo: valorar algunos aspectos de la comunicación de los resultados científicos en investigaciones que asumen un enfoque cualitativo, relacionados con su defensa oral, redacción y metodología de la investigación. Métodos: se realizó un estudio exploratorio con enfoque cualitativo en la Universidad Central "Marta Abreu" de Las Villas durante noviembre-diciembre de 2020. Se utilizaron métodos teóricos: inductivo-deductivo, de lo abstracto a lo concreto y sistematización; empíricos: análisis documental de tesis, tesinas y otros trabajos de culminación de grado y la observación participante de los autores en diversos escenarios: defensas de doctorados y maestrías, actuando como oponentes o miembros de los diferentes tribunales, o como árbitros en la revisión de artículos científicos. Resultados: el análisis documental y la práctica contextualizada de los autores en diversos escenarios permitió constatar que no siempre los resultados científicos de estudios cualitativos se comunican con el rigor, claridad, exactitud y concreción que exigen las normas de este tipo de comunicación. A pesar de que se asume un enfoque cualitativo, en la lectura del texto científico no queda con suficiente claridad este posicionamiento, que en el área de las ciencias médicas suele ser altamente complejo por la versatilidad de su objeto de estudio. Otra de las problemáticas existentes consiste en la omisión de métodos y técnicas propios de la investigación científica. Conclusiones: la comunicación de resultados científicos en las investigaciones que asumen el enfoque cualitativo resulta un proceso dinámico y complejo por excelencia desde sus núcleos dialécticos a tono con el carácter social de la ciencia en sus análisis cualitativos.

ABSTRACT Background: the communication of scientific results is a complex process, especially when it comes to describing, narrating or evaluating the researching process from the qualitative approach of the investigation. Objective: to assess some aspects of the communication of scientific results in investigations that assume a qualitative approach. Methods: an exploratory study within the qualitative approach was carried out at "Marta Abreu" Central University of Las Villas from November to December 2020. Theoretical methods were used: inductive-deductive, from the abstract to the concrete and systematization; empirical ones: documentary analysis of theses, theses and other degree completion works and participant observation of the authors in various health institutions: defenses of doctorates and masters' degree , acting as opponents or members of the different scientific boards or as arbitrators in the review of articles scientists Results: the analysis of documents and the contextualized practice of the authors in various institutions has shown that the scientific results of qualitative studies are not always communicated with the rigor, clarity, accuracy and precision required by the norms of this type of communication. Although a qualitative approach is assumed, in reading the scientific text this position is not sufficiently clear, which in the area of ​​medical sciences it is usually highly complex given the versatility of its object of study. Another of the existing problems consists in the omission of methods and techniques of scientific research. Conclusions: the communication of scientific results in researches' which assume the qualitative approach is a living, dynamic and complex process par excellence from its dialectical core according to the social character of science and with the approach that is assumed.

Embedded implementation research determinants in Latin American health systems

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: To assess the determinants of embedded implementation research (EIR) conduct in seven Latin American and Caribbean countries. METHODS: This qualitative interpretative study conducted and analyzed 14 semi-structured interviews based on a grounded theory approach using Atlas-ti© 7.5.7. We grouped the conditions appointed by interviewees as determinants of EIR conduct into six domains. RESULTS: The participation of high-level engaged decision makers as research co-producers is an important EIR determinant that fosters research use. Nevertheless, EIR faces challenges such as dealing with key personnel changes and fluctuating political contexts. CONCLUSIONS: Despite its limitations, EIR is effective in creating a sense of ownership of research results among implementers, which helps bridge the gap between research and decision-making in health systems.

Rankings, avaliações e recursos escassos: o que fazer com a medicina e a odontologia legal? / Rankings, scientific assessments and resources: what to do with Forensic Medicine and Dentistry?

O uso de rankings para mensuração de desempenho de universidades se tornou algo frequente e com ampla divulgação no meio acadêmico. A CWRU - Center for World University Rankings ­ tornou-se um dos mais conhecidos e anualmente divulga a escala de colocação de universidades de todo o mundo, inclusive por áreas de conhecimento. O ranking referente a 2016 colocou a Universidade de São Paulo (USP) como a melhor universidade na América Latina, sendo a área de Odontologia (cirurgia oral e medicina bucal) como a 1ª colocada e a Medicina Legal em 10º. A proposta deste artigo é analisar criticamente as colocações das áreas anteriormente mencionadas neste ranking e o contraste com o recém anunciado corte de verbas para pesquisa anunciado pelo governo federal no Brasil. Além disso, propõe colocar em discussão, em um enfoque bioético, como forma de avaliação de qualidade de produção científica, a análise do custo financeiro de um trabalho publicado versus seu fator de impacto, ou seja, levar em conta a relação custo/benefício de um trabalho científico. Essa seria uma forma de tornar mais justa e equitativa a avaliação comparativa entre pesquisadores que trabalham com grandes apoios financeiros frente àqueles que trabalham com poucos recursos em relação ao impacto de suas publicações.

The use of rankings to measure university performance has become frequent and widespread in the academic world. The CWRU - Center for World University Rankings - has become one of the most well-known and annually publishes the scale of placement of universities around the world, including by areas of expertise. The ranking for 2016 ranked the University of São Paulo (USP) as the best university in Latin America. The area of Dentistry (oral surgery and oral medicine) was ranked 1st and Legal Medicine ranked 10th. The proposal of this article is to critically analyze the placements of the previously mentioned areas in this ranking and the contrast with the recently announced cut of research funds announced by the federal government in Brazil. In addition, in some bioethics focus, to discuss the analysis of the financial costs of a published work versus its impact factor, as a way of evaluating the quality of scientific production, to allow a more fair and equitable comparative evaluation between researchers working with large financial supports when facing those who work with reduced funding and the respective impact of their publications.

Disseminação e uso dos resultados de pesquisas financiadas pela Secretaria de Ciência, Tecnologia e Insumos Estratégicos do Ministério da Saúde, Brasil, 2004 a 2007 / Dissemination and use of the research results funded by the Department of Science, Technology and Strategic Inputs of the Ministry of Health, Brazil, 2004 to 2007

RESUMO Este artigo verifica a disseminação e o uso das pesquisas financiadas pelo Departamento de Ciência e Tecnologia do Ministério da Saúde. Trata-se de um estudo de seis casos com análise imbricada, em que se verifica que a política de descentralização do fomento contribuiu para a redução da desigualdade na produção de conhecimento em saúde, embora haja desigualdade no volume de recursos alocados. A disseminação dos resultados foi o limitador da incorporação dos resultados de pesquisa. Os formatos de acompanhamento das pesquisas devem ser melhorados. O fator determinante na incorporação de conhecimentos e tecnologias pelo sistema de saúde é a intencionalidade técnica e política para o uso dos resultados.

ABSTRACT This article verifies the dissemination and use of the researches funded by the Department of Science and Technology of the Ministry of Health. It is a study of six cases with imbricated analysis, where it is verified that the decentralization policy of the promotion contributed to the reduction of inequality in the production of health knowledge, although there is inequality in the volume of resources allocated. The dissemination of results was the limiting factor of the incorporation of the research results. Survey monitoring formats should be improved. The determinant factor in the incorporation of knowledge and technologies by the health system is the technical and politic intentionality for the use of the results.

Abstract Researchers receiving grant from the Brazilian National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) are a reference group in Brazilian academia. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the 30 journals with the highest number of publications of researchers in the Physical Education area who received grants in the 2010-2012 triennium. From this analysis, the relevance of journals in the Physical Education area was also evaluated. For the accounting of publications, the scriptLattes v8.07 software was used. The 88 researchers in Physical Education area published 2600 papers in 530 different journals in the 2010-2012 triennium. It was found that among the 30 journals with the highest number of publication, 19 are published in Brazil; from “Top 10”, eight journals are published in Brazil. Concerning journals that have publications of researchers who have received grants of all categories/levels, of the 11 journals that meet this requirement, seven are published in Brazil. It was concluded that, however Brazilian journals are minority in the upper stratum of Webqualis in the Physical Education area, they still stand as the main communication vehicle of elite researcher in the area.
