The research was conducted with the objective of validating the didactic strategy designed to develop the ability to solve problems of Biostatistics in the students of the Agronomy career of the University of Matanzas. For the achievement of the objective, it was necessary the theoretical analysis on problem solving, Biostatistics and didactic strategy, review of the curriculum of the career and the program of the Biostatistics and the description of the actions and operations that lead the resolution of problems of Biostatistics. The fundamentation and design of the didactic strategy is presented in the stages: diagnostic, planning, execution and evaluation, each consisting of objectives and actions aimed at teachers and students. To determine on the relevance of the strategy, it was subjected to a theoretical evaluation by experts and a practical evaluation through a partial application during the teaching-learning process of Biostatistics in the 2016-2017 academic year. The results of the evaluation carried out by the experts are statistically significant, which implies that there is sufficient evidence to propose with a 99,9% reliability that the experts agree with the effectiveness of the strategy, both in the quality of the theoretical conception and in the effectiveness that will be obtained with its application in pedagogical practice. The result of the practical application allowed evaluating the effectiveness of the strategy as positive due to the level of development reached by the students in the resolution of Biostatistics problems.

A pedagogical and descriptive study of 46 residents who began the postgraduate training in "Dr. Juan Bruno. Zayas Alfonso" Teaching General Hospital was carried out in Santiago de Cuba in the period 2016-2017, with the aim of identifying the learning necessities of Biostatistics and Methodology of Investigation in these health professionals. The most important results were the lack of correlation between felt and real necessities, with a Pearson correlation coefficient = 0.058; also, none of the evaluated reached 50 % of the test points. It is concluded that the professionals don't have the necessary knowledge for their statistical-investigative acting, when beginning their postgraduate training. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To make the cultural validation and measure the reliability of a questionnaire which will assess level of knowledge of bio-statistics. Methods: The questionnaire was initially translated to Spanish by 3 translators. Then each translation was retranslated to English. The translations and re-translations were assessed by correlation and measure of agreement. A committee of experts built a consensus document and afterwards degree of comprehension was assessed on a 30 subject group. Finally a test/re-test was done in order to assay the temporal stability of the instrument. Results: The correlation between the couples of translations from English to Spanish was rs = 0.21, rs = 0.25 y rs= 0.90 (p < 0.05). The degree of agreement between the couples of translations from English to Spanish was Kappa = -0.08 (p=0.08), Kappa = 0.67 (p < 0.0000), y Kappa = 0.58 (p < 0.0000). The correlations between couples of re-translations from Spanish to English was rs = 0.97 (p < 0.0000), rs = -0.03 (p=0.70) y rs = 0.18 (p=0.03). The degree of agreement between the couples of re-translations from Spanish to English was Kappa = 1.0 (p = 0.00), Kappa = 0 (p < 0.05), y Kappa = 0 (p < 0.05). The consensus document showed to be comprehensible in 82% (95% CI 80.2-83.2) Correlation between the two times the questionnaire was taken was 0.94 (p < 0.0000). Conclusions: Cultural adaptation of the questionnaire about knowledge of bio-statistics originated a final instrument of high compressibility and reliability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
