Abstract
PULIDO-MEDINA, Cristian et al. Scientific publication of the directors of the Scientific Association of Medical Students of Colombia: Characteristics and associated factors. rev.fac.med. [online]. 2017, vol.65, n.4, pp.553-557. ISSN 0120-0011. https://doi.org/10.15446/revfacmed.v65n4.60489.
Introduction:
The scientific publication should be encouraged from the undergraduates, especially in science health careers.
Objective:
To determine the features and factors associated with scientific publication among members of the Scientific Association of Medical Students of Colombia (ASCEMCOL).
Materials and methods:
An analytic cross-sectional study, which was based on a face survey applied to the members of the ASCEMCOL. A publication was defined as a publication made in an indexed scientific journal; and the information collected was crossed with variables to obtain a statistical association.
Results:
When performing multivariate analysis, it was associated with increased participation in scientific research the fact of being in a superior academic semester (RPA: 1.25; 95% CI: 1.01-1.56; p value: 0.043), more of extracurricular investigations (RPA: 1.26; 95% CI: 1.15-1.38; p value <0.001). Likewise, the lower frequency of publications associated with the perception of poor support from the university (RPA: 0.28; 95% CI: 0.22-0.34; p value <0.001), adjusted to the number of papers presented in congresses and the university of origin.
Conclusion:
The publication frequency was low in this population; we find important factors like being in a superior academic semester, such as having a greater number of investigations and publications.
