MENDEZ TRIANA, Rayza et al. Need for training on clinical trials in Primary Health Care professionals. EDUMECENTRO [online]. 2017, vol.9, n.3, pp. 73-88. ISSN 2077-2874.

Background: qualification to perform their work is required for researchers participating in clinical trials. Objective: to diagnose the needs of training on clinical trials in Primary Health Care professionals. Methods: a descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out by Villa Clara Province Clinical Trials Group in 2015. For this purpose methods were used at the theoretical level: analysis-synthesis and induction-deduction; and empirical studies: the documentary review of the curriculum vitae of each researcher and the teaching upgrading plan of the clinical trials professorship of the university of medical sciences of the territory. Results: all the researchers had the required academic training but only some professionals had previous experience in clinical trials; not all received postgraduate training in Cardiopulmonary and Cerebral Resuscitation, or in Good Clinical Practices. With regard to basic training in clinical trials according to their role, those who received more training were physicians, and to a lesser extent, pharmacists and nurses. Postgraduate offers are relevant to the training demands of professionals, with the exception of the specific role of the psychologist in clinical research. Conclusions: professionals demand immediate postgraduate training according to their role and courses are offered to meet their needs.

Palabras clave : clinical trials as tepic; postgraduate education; education, medical.
