GALLI, Amanda y AGEITOS, M. Luisa. Continuing medical education programme evaluation: did doctors incorporate recommended behaviors in their clinical practice?. FEM (Ed. impresa) [online]. 2015, vol.18, n.2, pp.117-121. ISSN 2014-9840. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S2014-98322015000200007.
Introduction. Since 1992, Argentina Society of Pediatrics develops an update program (PRONAP) distance education mode. Every year new issues are published. At the end of each year implements a survey to explore the degree of satisfaction of the participants and their assessment of each of the components of the program. The purpose of this work was to do an evaluation of results of the PRONAP. Subjects and methods. Questionnaires from 2008, 2009 and 2010 included a question of self-assessment to investigate the application of 24 recommended behaviors. Results. 22,899 questionnaires were sent and are receiving 19,721 responses (86%). The behaviors that the professionals say that they added frequently, almost always, in clinical practice are: in small infants observe the capacity to establish eye contact (48.8%), and regularly inquire if their patients the tests conducted of screening for hearing loss (48%). Most innovative behaviour, less than 10% of professionals already practicing it, they were: to include the topic of tattoos and piercing in interviews with adolescents (6.8%), and to indicate folic acid to all young woman (6.5%). Conclusions. The results would claim that the PRONAP is influencing clinical practice but it is well known that in self-managed questionnaires always have doubt about the authenticity of the answers.
