Adquisición de competencias en la comunicación mediante la implementación del taller “La comunicación empática” en estudiantes de medicina de la UTPL. Período octubre 2015– febrero 2016

Abstract

This work was performed in order to determine the acquisition of skills in empathic communication in medical students at “Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja”, for which it was designed and implemented a workshop entitled "La comunicación empática", executed with a guide and a video. We divided the students into two groups "A" and "B". The group "A" (intervened) received the workshop and the video while the group "B" (control) did not. In a first assessment, the response of both groups was measured through ECOE # 1, noting that those who did not receive video or workshop failed in 53.1% and reached no competition; the group "A", approved by 100%. Later, in a second stage, a month later, the memory footprint was assessed with a second ECOE. It was determined that students in the group "A" (involved) in the first ECOE obtained an average of 18.36 while in the ECOE # 2 it was 17.90, noting that in assessing memory footprint the skill is acquired with a lower average than in the ECOE # 1.
