Abstract (English): Background: Trauma Evaluation and Management course was designed to develop trauma cognitive skills in senior medical students. Its effectiveness has been demonstrated in many regions, except in Latin America, where it has been poorly studied. The objective was to determine the Trauma Evaluation and Management course effectiveness, and whether greater effectiveness is achieved in basic- or clinic-cycle students, as well as student perception. Material y methods: Descriptive, observational, longitudinal and prospective study. Two tests were performed, pre- and post-course; the manual was read by the students prior to both tests. Students were divided into 2 groups: group A (consisting of 71 basic-cycle medical students) and group B (consisting of 44 clinical-cycle medical students). Results: Group A achieved a 2.45 increase (p < 0.01) in the post-course evaluation compared with pre-course test. Group B increased the mean score by 2.25 (p > 0.05) from pre- to postcourse tests. There was a significant difference between groups in both evaluations (pre-course test p < 0.01 and post-course test p > 0.05), with no difference in improvement (p > 0.05). Using a questionnaire, 92.17% of the students totally agreed that the course improved their trauma knowledge, 76.52% that it increased their trauma clinical skills, with 94.78% being totally satisfied with the course, and 86.09% totally agreed that Trauma Evaluation and Management course should be in Medicine curriculum. Conclusions: Trauma Evaluation and Management course improves trauma cognitive skills, and undergraduate medical students in Mexico broadly accept it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): Antecedentes: El curso Evaluación y Manejo del Trauma fue diseñado para desarrollar las habilidades cognitivas en trauma por los estudiantes de Medicina. Su efectividad ha sido demostrada en muchas regiones excepto a nivel de Latinoamérica, donde ha sido poco estudiado. El objetivo fue conocer la efectividad del curso Evaluación y Manejo del Trauma, cuándo alcanza mayor efectividad en ciclos básicos o clínicos, y la percepción de los alumnos sobre el curso. Material y métodos: Estudio descriptivo, observacional, longitudinal y prospectivo. Dos evaluaciones fueron realizadas: pre- y poscurso. Los estudiantes se dividieron en 2 grupos: el grupo A (71 estudiantes de Medicina de ciclos básicos) y el grupo B (44 estudiantes de Medicina de ciclos clínicos). Resultados: El grupo A logró un aumento de 2.45 puntos (p < 0.01) en la evaluación poscurso comparada con la evaluación precurso. El grupo B aumentó en promedio 2.25 puntos de la evaluación poscurso (p > 0.05). Hubo una diferencia significativa entre los grupos en ambas evaluaciones (precurso p = 0.01 y poscurso p < 0.05); sin diferencia en el aprovechamiento (p > 0.05). Mediante encuesta, el 92.17% de los estudiantes se mostró totalmente de acuerdo en que el curso mejoró su conocimiento en trauma, el 76.52% que incrementó sus habilidades clínicas en trauma, el 94.78% quedó totalmente satisfecho con el curso y el 86.09% estuvo totalmente de acuerdo en que el curso Evaluación y Manejo del Trauma debe ser incorporado al currículo de la carrera de Medicina. Conclusiones: El curso Evaluación y Manejo del Trauma mejora las habilidades cognitivas en trauma y es bien aceptado por los estudiantes de pregrado en México. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
