FERNANDEZ VALDES, María de las Mercedes et al. Frame of reference for information competence training in the Cuban health sciences context. Rev. cuba. inf. cienc. salud [online]. 2021, vol.32, n.4  Epub Feb 01, 2022. ISSN 2307-2113.

The purpose of the study was to update the frame of reference for information competence training in the National Health System. Attention is paid to the need to address the information competence training of professionals from the National Health System based on identification of conceptual and structural elements intended to update the core competences defined in the year 2008 and reinstated at present, in keeping with conceptual changes undergone by information literacy. Such update, adjusted as it is to the current Cuban context, where knowledge, technologies and innovation play a leading role in the development of society, was based on a solid methodological foundation, so that it may be used in other settings requiring solutions for similar problems. A qualitative analysis was performed using theoretical and empirical scientific methods, as well as the cause-effect diagram for the solution of the problem. A questionnaire was applied to experts. Data collection was based on the triangulation method and the available information was analyzed. The result obtained is an updated version of the frame of reference for information competence training in the National Health System, thus facilitating and strengthening their development among service professionals and technicians in Cuba.
