ABSTRACT
Background: the exploration of training needs is essential for the design of educational strategies that increase the qualitative training of professionals, the quality of services and the rational use of resources.Objective: to identify training needs for the genetic diagnosis of spondyloarthropathies and uveitis in physicians of the “Hermanos Ameijeiras” Clinical Surgical Teaching Hospital.
Methods: a descriptive quantitative-qualitative research was carried out, in which theoretical methods were used: analysis-synthesis, induction-deduction and historical-logical; empirical ones: documentary review of medical indications and a questionnaire to classify the training needs in manifest and hidden or covert, and felt and not felt about the correct indication of the genetic study for the diagnosis of spondyloarthropathies and uveitis; and mathematical-statistics for data- processing.
Results: the minority of the medical indications showed positive results; that is, the patients presented the HLA B-27U allele. The greatest knowledge shortcomings on the subject were shown by the residents, unlike the specialists who presented less wrong answers, although the latter expressed a greater perception of training needs than the residents, so they assumed a more open and flexible attitude towards overcoming.
Conclusions: training needs on the subject were identified, which allows generating strategies to achieve the rational use of molecular tools in the genetic diagnosis of spondyloarthropathies and uveitis in medical personnel.
