Correlación conocimiento-uso de las tecnologías de la información y las comunicaciones en ciencias médicas

Background: The integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) in medical education responds to the need for adaptation to new virtual teaching-learning environments, where teachers' mastery of these tools directly impacts the quality of the educational process.Objective: To determine the correlation between knowledge and use of information and communication technologies among faculty at the Municipal Health Site in Fomento municipality.Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with the faculty of the Municipal Health Site in Fomento, Sancti Spíritus, between January and March 2025. Methods from the theoretical level (analysis-synthesis, inductive-deductive, historical-logical, systems approach); empirical (questionnaire); and mathematical-statistical (descriptive analysis, measurement scales, Cronbach's alpha coefficient) were used.Results: Most teachers were between 50 and 64 years old (38.3%) and held the teaching category of Assistant Professor (51.6%). While 70.0% possessed basic theoretical knowledge about ICT, 80.0% made low use of them in teaching practice.Conclusions: It was determined that theoretical mastery contrasts with notable limitations in its practical application, which negatively impacts the quality of the teaching-learning process.
