SELVA CAPDESUNER, Ana et al. Values education for the comprehensive training of medical students from a psychopedagogical approach. MEDISAN [online]. 2012, vol.16, n.1, pp.62-66. ISSN 1029-3019.

A descriptive and cross-sectional study in 36 first year-medical students belonging to "Ramón López Peña" University Polyclinic of Santiago de Cuba was carried out in September 2010, with the purpose of providing some theoretical and methodological approaches to the values education. Percentage was used as summary measure. Weakness in the students' values and in cognitive preparedness level of teachers was identified to face this challenge. Given the multifactor nature of these values, it is urgent to assess the basis of such approaches from the philosophical, sociological, psychological and pedagogical points of view.

Keywords : medical students; values education; teaching staff; psychopedagogy; primary health care.
