ABSTRACT
Objective. 1) To develop and validate an instrument to evaluate the clinical pathology correlation aptitude in pneumopathology (CPCAP). 2) Compare two groups of students those who had already taken the respiratory pathology course and students that hadn 't. Methods. An instrument with real anatomopathology respiratory cases was developed. The measurement instrument was validated through expert rounds. It included 116 items of the "true", "false", or "don't know" type, with an agreement of 80 % or more in the answerers between the judges. The internal consistency was determined with Spearman Brown proficiency, reaching a value of 0.78. The sample studied was all the groups of each hospital of an organic pathology undergraduate universitary course. Two sampled were taken, students who had already been through respiratory pathology (Group A), and students who hadn't (Group B) Results.The sample studied was of 485 applicants, from 64 different universitary groups. These were divided in two groups, with 245 (A) and 240 (B) students each. Its global medians were 51 and 36 for groups A and B respectively (p < 0.001). In the 55 % of the subgroups when compared individually taking into account each one of the hospital where they study the test results were significantly better in group A. Discussion.In a general way, students in group A show a major development into CPCAP than students in B. However, development is not enough to reach the expected by the educative program. The results suggest that the teachers put greater effort in the correlation between anatomopathological changes and the clinical and paraclinical manifestations of the patients.
RESUMEN
Objetivos. 1) Construir y validar un instrumento de medición de la aptitud para la correlación anatomoclínica en neumopatología (ACACN). 2) Comparar la ACACN de alumnos que ya tomaron el curso de patología y quiénes no. Métodos. Se elaboró un cuestionario con base en nueve casos anatomopatológicos con sus correspondientes estudios clínicos. Se estimó su validez conceptual por un grupo de expertos y la confiabilidad mediante correlación de mitades equivalentes. El instrumento quedó conformado por 116 ítems, que obtuvieron un porcentaje de acuerdo con 80 o mayor en las respuestas de los jueces y un coeficiente de .78 de confiabilidad (Spearman-Brown). Se aplicó un diseño ex post facto y las unidades de análisis fueron los grupos de cada hospital sede de un curso universitario de patología orgánica. Mediante un muestreo por cuota se seleccionaron dos muestras de alumnos de pregrado de la carrera de medicina para realizar las mediciones quienes ya habían cursado la asignatura de patología (A) y quienes no (B). Resultados. Se incluyeron 485 alumnos, 245 de la muestra A y 240 de la muestra B, correspondientes a 64 grupos universitarios. Las medianas globales de ambas muestras fueron 51 y 36, respectivamente (p < 0.001). En la comparación entre muestras de una misma sede hubo diferencia significativa a favor de A en 39% de los grupos. Discusión. Los resultados muestran que la ACACN fue mayor en los alumnos que ya habían cursado la materia, en comparación con los que aún no lo habían hecho, sin embargo, el grado de desarrollo de la misma está lejos de las expectativas del programa educativo y refleja la necesidad de implementar modificaciones en la manera de cómo se imparte la materia.
