SANCHEZ ORTIZ, Loreta et al. Researching skills in 2nd year students of the Bachelor in Nursing career: occasion for their development. EDUMECENTRO [online]. 2018, vol.10, n.1, pp. 55-72. ISSN 2077-2874.

Background: scientific activity must be assumed as an essential component in the comprehensive education of medical sciences students since the undergraduate level. Objective: to diagnose the development of researching abilities in the students of 2nd year of the Bachelor in Nursing career, through the subject Pharmacology I. Methods: a cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out in Cienfuegos Faculty of Medical Sciences during the first semester of the 2016-2017 academic year. Methods of the theoretical level were used: analytic-synthetic, inductive-deductive and historical-logical; of the empirical level: documentary analysis and observation, and mathematical-statistics. Results: it was found that most of the students presented difficulties in the elaboration of the research work objectives, the definition of the variables, the selection of methods and techniques and in the analysis of the information collected. The bibliographic search, the writing of the written report and the oral presentation were less difficult. Conclusions: the main difficulties that second-year students presented in terms of research skills were diagnosed, which allows feedback from teachers to offer continuity to their development based on new strategies.
