GARCIA AGUILA, Elsa Jacinta et al. The scientific research after thirty-years of family medicine in primary health care. EDUMECENTRO [online]. 2018, vol.10, n.3, pp.91-105. ISSN 2077-2874.

Background: primary health care offers great researching opportunities; it is an area of own and necessary knowledge to develop to improve the quality of services and the patients´ health. Objective: to characterize the behavior of scientific productivity in professionals of the Chiqui Gómez Lubián University Polyclinic of Santa Clara, after thirty years of family medicine in primary health care. Methods: a cross-sectional descriptive research was carried out in the "Chiqui Gómez Lubián" University Polyclinic in the years 2016 and 2017. Theoretical methods were used: analysis-synthesis, inductive-deductive, and historical-logical; and empirical ones: documentary analysis and the interview to key informants. Results: there were insufficiencies in the scientific production of the professionals in terms of their participation in events, which is confirmed by the few awards obtained in the science and technical forums. Similarly, scientific publications, despite having increased in 2017, still do not reveal a notable increase. There are few ranked researchers and only seven projects have been contracted in the two years analyzed. Conclusions: the characterization made expressed significant shortcomings in the context studied, because their professionals have not shown encouraging results in the explored areas.
