Abstract
BARBEITO, Nubia Blanco et al. Deficiencies in research projects of Comprehensive General dentistry residents: necessary alert. EDUMECENTRO [online]. 2024, vol.16 Epub Feb 28, 2024. ISSN 2077-2874.
Background:
residents' thesis projects represent one of the fundamental activities in their scientific development.
Objective:
to describe the main difficulties found in the research projects of Comprehensive General dentistry residents.
Methods:
a retrospective descriptive observational study was carried out at Sagua la Grande Faculty of Medical Sciences from 2014 to 2022. Theoretical and empirical methods were used to support the research and collect information. A model was created for data collection extracted from the projects, and a database was created for its storage.
Results:
the main difficulties found were: not adequately supporting the research, difficulties in writing the scientific problem, specifically in the relationship between the problem and the type of research, the conceptualization and/or operationalization of the variables, the selection and preparation of the methods, techniques and instruments for collecting information and delimiting the bibliography according to Vancouver standards.
Conclusions:
the main difficulties were confirmed in the research projects of the residents of Comprehensive General Dentistry due to the need for them to develop research skills from the first year of training, for better professional performance, based on the application of the scientific method in the solution to oral health problems that arise in everyday life.
