ABSTRACT
Introduction: Professional improvement contributes to permanent professional education to achieve updated levels, aimed at the professional improvement of gastroenterologists, both residents and specialists, of the Gastroenterology Service of Hermanos Ameijeiras Clinical-Surgical Hospital regarding the technique of esophageal manometry.Objectives: To design an updating course for improving the knowledge and interpretation of esophageal manometry.
Methods: A mixed, educational, and developmental study was carried out, which culminated in the design of the course in Esophageal Manometry for residents and specialists in gastroenterology of the Gastroenterology Service of Hermanos Ameijeiras Hospital, for which work was done with the ten residents and seven specialists of the service, as well as three experienced consultant professors, considered experts. We used the survey for residents and specialists and the in-depth interview with the consulting professors. The statistical method allowed the presentation and analysis of the quantitative data and the content analysis for the interviews with the experts. The ethical aspects required for the investigation were considered, from the institution and those involved in the study.
Results: 100 % of participants lacked knowledge and skills in the use of esophageal manometry. A basic theoretical course was designed to help prepare them for diagnosis, prognosis and treatment regarding gastroesophageal reflux disease, achalasia, and other motor disorders of the esophagus.
Conclusions: The learning needs of residents and specialists justified the course design, and will help overcome gastroenterologists in the management of the aforementioned conditions.
