Uso de simulación clínica y casos forenses virtuales como estrategia de integración entre Anatomía Humana y Medicina Legal Use of clinical simulation and virtual forensic cases as an integration strategy between Human Anatomy and Legal Medicine
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
El presente estudio aborda la fragmentación en la enseñanza de Anatomía Humana y Medicina Legal, la cual limita la transferencia del conocimiento anatómico hacia situaciones médico-legales. Su objetivo fue analizar la percepción de los estudiantes de la Facultad de Ciencias Médicas de la Universidad de Guayaquil sobre el uso de simulación clínica y casos forenses virtuales como estrategias de integración de contenidos. Se implementó un enfoque cuantitativo, con diseño no experimental y transversal. La recolección de datos se realizó mediante una encuesta estructurada de 10 ítems con escala tipo Likert, aplicada a una muestra no probabilística de 215 estudiantes. Los ítems se organizaron en cinco dimensiones: aprendizaje experiencial, aprendizaje basado en casos, carga cognitiva, integración Anatomía–Medicina Legal y razonamiento médico-legal. Los resultados más relevantes muestran que la mayoría de los estudiantes perciben la simulación y los casos virtuales como estrategias efectivas para participación, análisis de problemas, claridad de la información, vinculación de saberes y fortalecimiento del razonamiento forense. Asimismo, expresaron que estas herramientas son pertinentes y recomendables para incorporarlas con mayor frecuencia en el currículo
