CALVO-CALVO, Manuel Ángel. Characteristics of continued training in scientific communication provided to health professionals. FEM (Ed. impresa) [online]. 2013, vol.16, n.3, pp.137-144. ISSN 2014-9840.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S2014-98322013000300004.

Introduction. The importance of new knowledge in health and disease requires doctors, nurses and other health professionals to know how to properly communicate this knowledge to the scientific community and the public. Aim. To understand the characteristics of the Training Programme in Scientific Communication taught to health professionals between 2001 and 2011. Materials and methods. To this end, we performed an observational, cross-sectional, descriptive and retrospective study that quantified and analysed the contents of theoretical and practical lessons of all rounds taught in this programme from 2001 to 2011. Results and conclusions. According to the results, 19 rounds of the training programme were carried out, which imparted 247.25 hours of theoretical and practical lessons on scientific communication to 890 health professionals, mostly nurses. The program's lessons were structured into five areas: introduction to scientific communication, scientific writing, oral communication, preparation of audio-visual presentations, and poster format communication. Almost half the workload of the programme was used to provide training on publishing scientific articles; the rest provided instruction on how to communicate knowledge in scientific meetings. Since 2008, training has also been included to address the challenge of developing media literacy in health professionals. Due to the demand for training and the importance of communicating science, training should be offered in scientific communication at undergraduate and graduate level, and more content should be devoted to media literacy.
