ABSTRACT

Introduction: Students manifest poor research skills and the training they receive does not meet these needs.
Objective: to train fifth-years medical students in conducting qualitative research in education at work to characterize, in this case, elements of sexuality in adolescents and discuss them with text mining techniques.
Methods: During April 2015, a group of medical students from the University of Medical Sciences of Camagüey conducted a qualitative exploration in a junior high school and a senior high school about their first sexual relations and how they would have preferred as it would have been. Each student wrote on a paper and anonymously his/her answer to this question, which was transferred into a text document for each person, later gathered in groups in a common folder which brought the three groups together. The texts as a whole were evaluated, later on the words were transformed as to a word family (lemmatization) and the most frequent words were determined in descending order, we then made a chart to explain the impact of the most important answers.
Results: the text mining technique permitted the identification of the most frequent words and to empty them into a graph that made their interpretation easier; the students were trained in the different stages of qualitative research.
Conclusions: The present work made possible to train medical students to conduct qualitative research in their education at work activities, in order to characterize elements of sexuality in adolescents and discuss them with text mining techniques.
