| description | Introduction: the active survey medical students carry out plays an essential role in fighting Covid-19.
Objective: to characterize the work of the active survey from the perspective of medical students in fighting Covid-19.
Method: an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out with medical students who conducted surveys in Habana del Este and 10 de Octubre municipalities, in September 2020. The target group included 55 medical students who agreed to participate in the study; the totality of the group was included in the study.
Results: female students predominated (60 %), and students of Medicine (87,27 %). The 12,73 % of them described the surveys as an unnecessary activity and 69,09 % expressed it is a slowdown on the development of the teaching-learning process; 96,36 % reported that the work of the active survey was supervised by healthcare professionals and 80 % reported receiving training from healthcare professionals in the health area. Among the difficulties in conducting the active survey, the students reported a negative attitude on the part of the population being surveyed (36,36 %).
Conclusions: medical students showed a positive response about the importance of doing surveys; however, many students considered it a slowdown on the development of the educational process without contributions to professional development. The professors play an essential role in the training and supervision of active surveys. |
