Resumen
HERNANDEZ GONZALEZ, Mercedes; ESTRADA MOLNE, Alba T y IGLESIAS MORELL, Norma. Health Promotion: since basic sciences?. Rev Hum Med [online]. 2003, vol.3, n.3, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1727-8120.
This paper has been conceived as an answer to family doctors' needs. Preparing themselves properly since the erliest stages of their studies about the different activities concerning Health Promotion within the community is one of them, and it could be said a really important one; but, are they aware of the relevance of this feature?, do they receive actual information about this issue trough out the teaching-learning process of different subjects in their first and second years of their studies?. To find out answers has been the purpose for this study, which has been performed at the Medical University of Camagüey Carlos J. Finlay. A significant sample of professors and students of the Basic Area were involved in it. The results obtained are interesting: the students are aware of the importance of Health Promotion, nevertheless many of them do not know either the meaning or the ways to perform it. According to these results, the authors designed a proposal in order to include those important issues as an integrative aspect of the subjects studied since the first year. This should help the medical doctors- to- be in their work within the family and the community. It will also allow them to contribute to the physical, mental and social welfare of the population they work with as well as a better life quality for the individual, the family and the community
