Estrategia didáctica enfocada en el diagnóstico precoz del cáncer de cuello uterino con base en la caracterización inmunogenética

Abstract

Cervical cancer is defined as the uncontrolled proliferation of cells lining the lower part of the uterus. It is currently considered a sexually transmitted infection due to its direct relationship with infection by the human papillomavirus. This neoplasm is a highly preventable pathology, which is why education programs should be aimed at promoting cervical cancer prevention based mainly on the risk factors that have been identified in the pathogenesis of the disease, as well as periodic gynecological control. Primary care includes educational programs aimed at reducing the incidence of pathologies that are highly preventable. The objective of this research was to design a didactic strategy focused on improving the competences of the students of the Gynecology and Obstetrics rotating internship of the Medicine career of the Technical University of Ambato for the early diagnosis of cervical cancer based on the immunogenetic characterization, focused on a developmental research work based on a descriptive study. The results show that the level of knowledge of medical interns about cervical cancer is acceptable, since 65% of interns know the risk factors, types of cervical cancer and screening tests. Also, the interns responded that the main cause for the Teaching-Learning process not being adequate in 40% is the lack of didactic strategies. The study showed that the most used didactic strategies are focused on the traditional teaching method which includes lectures and expository classes given by a teacher expert in the subject where student participation is not significant.
