La simulación en la adquisición de competencias clínicas en la interpretación antropométrica en estudiantes de medicina de la Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja. Septiembre 2012 Febrero 2013

Abstract

Abstract: The main objective is to establish the use of simulation for the interpretation of anthropometric measures by developing workshops with medical students and objective structured clinical evaluation (OSCE) in order to evaluate the acquisition of clinical competence; using a quantitative study with descriptive design, and transversal approach which aims to establish the use of simulation in the interpretation of anthropometric measurements; ell addition method used for data collection was the observation; whose instrument was leaves Objective Structured Clinical Evaluation (OSCE); the same as were applied to students trained with simulation workshop; where the assessed should be able to run the three parts of the acquisition of competition are: having the knowledge, know how to execute and demonstrate how to perform. The study sample consisted of students enrolled in the period September 2012-February 2013 in the third cycle of the degree in medicine. The final results verified the high effectiveness of simulation as a learning where students acquired 96.97% of the competition, which shows the great import of this study.
