Abstract

IMBERT PUENTE, Elieser et al. Characterization of Research Skills in Residents of General and Family Medicine from the Province of Zaire. REMS [online]. 2024, vol.38  Epub July 20, 2024. ISSN 1561-2902.

Introduction:

During postgraduate professional training, the resident should develop research skills, with the objective of solving and responding to existing problems, through systematic research, with ethical rigor, excellence and quality in its methodological process.

Objective:

To characterize the research skills of resident interns in the specialty of general and family medicine in the province of Zaire, in the Republic of Angola.

Methods:

An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out with a probabilistic sample of 19 resident interns from Hospital Provincial Do Zaire Maria Eugenia Neto. The statistical analysis was descriptive, with absolute and relative (percentage) frequencies.

Results:

68.4 % of the resident interns were between 30 and 40 years old, 68.4 % of whom were male. The acquisition of some level of knowledge about research competences was mostly null. 63.2 % expressed more interest in the area of infectious diseases research. There was a significant correspondence concerning the limitations described at the time of research and their relationship with the research competences to achieve the elaboration and development of the specialty completion project.

Conclusions:

In the postgraduate residents of the specialty of general and family medicine in the province of Zaire, there are insufficient research skills to achieve the accomplishment of the research project of the specialty completion work.

Keywords : research skills; research; medical education; postgraduate education.
