Resultados de participación y satisfacción de un curso de bioética a distancia dirigido a residentes de primer año

Abstract

Introduction-objectives

In the training of Health Science residents, it is essential to develop bioethical thinking. This teaching challenge must be adapted to current technologies. The online course “Introduction to everyday bioethics for first-year residents” is analysed. Few activities of this type have been designed for residents or analysed using quantitative methods.

Material and methods

Data were extracted from the online platform and from a satisfaction survey of 3 editions (2021-2023). Course performance variables and the influence of the design change after the 1^st edition were included. Quantitative variables were analysed using different statistical tests (R version 4.2.0).

Results

The course was completed by 1,268 students (72% female). Most accessed at least 75% of the audiovisual content; there were no differences between modules or by gender. After the first edition, participation increased significantly, as did satisfaction with the structure and timing of the course. 57.3% of the students scored more than 8/10 in the initial test and more than 90% in the final. 89% were satisfied with the learning.

Conclusions

The course seems to have been useful and formative for the learners. The self-management of the content as well as the format with short audio-visual pills were well appreciated. The e-learning methods still have limitations for the bioethical debate. In the long term, an impact on the quality of care could be seen.
