ROCHA LUNA, Juan Manuel  y  LORIA CASTELLANOS, Jorge. Clinical capacities of Emergency residents in approaching cerebrovascular diseases. Educ Med Super [online]. 2007, vol.21, n.2. ISSN 0864-2141.

The present paper was aimed at constructing, validating and applying an evaluation instrument for measuring clinical capacities of emergency residents in the management of patients suffering from a cerebrovascular disease. An observational study was made, under the authorization of the Research Committee, in which 31 residents of the three grades of Emergency specialty from one of the Federal District health institutions were tested. For the construction of the evaluating instrument, three real clinical cases of patients with cerebrovascular disease were taken. The contents was validated by consensus of 4 emergency and educational research experts. A pilot test was carried out with intern physicians. Consistency was determined by Kuder-Richardson test. The validated instrument was applied in a single session on purpose, and expected answers were determined by chance through Pérez-Padilla test. A non-parametric statistical analysis was also used. The final version of the instrument was made up of 153 items distributed into 10 indicators. Consistency was 0,92. The maximum score was 124 and the minimal was 44. Twenty five expected answers by chance were reached. The statistical analysis did not find any difference between academic grades. Most of the residents were within the intermediate (41,93 %) and high (25,80 %) ranges. In the majority of indicators, 3 rd year residents had better qualifications. It was concluded that the constructed instrument has suitable reliability. The educational process in this hospital seems to promote a process of reflection and criticism on the part of the residents.
