Abstract

RODRIGUEZ SUAREZ, Ada; BERMELLO NAVARRETE, Rosa  and  MORET RODRIGUEZ, Jessica. Effectiveness of the Health History in Mayabeque Web Page. Rev Hum Med [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.2, pp.369-382. ISSN 1727-8120.

The Faculty of Medical Sciences in Mayabeque province didn't have an Infomed network connection back in 2011, therefore, as a request of the History and Philosophy Department, a static web page was designed. Objective: assessing the effectiveness of the Health History in Mayabeque static web page starting from how libraries network users have made use of it. Method: A cross section descriptive study of the libraries network was made in the province from September 2011 to July 2015. The population consisted of users who went to the 26 libraries in the province to use the page. An intentional sample of 15 teaching libraries and a random sample of 281 users was taken. Results: The following variables were taken into account: web page use, user category, sex and age. In order to determine the effectiveness of the page, the subsequent indicators were used: "what was the page used for" and assessment of the user from a 1 to 5 scale. Discussion: Female students use the page the most. The study showed professors make little use of it. The web page is effective according to the use users make of it; it contributes to their information literacy and it is a teaching aid.

Keywords : static web page; libraries network; information literacy.
