RODRIGUEZ PUGA, Rolando; GOMEZ CARDOSO, Ángel Luis y NUNEZ RODRIGUEZ, Olga Lidia. An Educational Intervention with Medical Students about Post-COVID-19 Disabling Sequelae within their Public Health Course. REMS [online]. 2024, vol.38 Epub 10-Jun-2024. ISSN 1561-2902.
Introduction:
In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the disabling sequelae emerge, still to be measured, which will accompany the coming years. With respect to this issue, actions with a multidisciplinary approach should be targeted, in which public health and the educational system provide the knowledge and methodology for their confrontation.
Objective:
To raise the level of knowledge about post-COVID-19 disabling sequelae in medical students.
Methods:
A quasiexperimental study of educational intervention was carried out with fifth-year medical students from Universidad de Ciencias Médicas de Camagüey, as part of the Public Health course, during the period April-May 2023. From the study universe of 23 students, a sample of 20 was selected. The following variables were studied: age groups, sex, level of knowledge about the epidemiology of post-COVID-19 disabling sequelae, classification by systems, identification, follow-up, treatment and overall level of knowledge about these.
Results:
The group aged 21-25 years (50 %) and the female sex (65 %) predominated. The level of knowledge about the epidemiology of post-COVID-19 disabling sequelae increased between 5 % and 95%, while it reached 20 %-90% regarding the classification by systems. With respect to identification, follow-up and treatment, the level of sufficient knowledge was 15 %-75 %. The overall sufficient assessment moved from 5 % to 90 %.
Conclusions:
The level of knowledge about post-COVID-19 disabling sequelae was managed to be raised in medical students. This will allow identifying, conducting and following up cases during education at work.
