Abstract

Background: research skills are fundamental tasks in the teaching-learning process as they allow for the solution of health problems through the scientific method. The deficiencies in the development of research skills among Anesthesiology and Resuscitation residents led the authors to carry out this study.
Objective: to characterize the research skills of Anesthesiology and Resuscitation residents in the province of Villa Clara, Cuba.
Methods: a cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out at the Arnaldo Milián Castro University Clinical and Surgical Hospital in Santa Clara, from September 2023 to December 2024. Theoretical methods were used: historical-logical, analytical-synthetic, and inductive-deductive; empirical methods: document analysis and the technique for analyzing the results of the activity; mathematical-statistical methods: percentage calculations; and descriptive statistics, tables, and figures expressing the values of the variable attributes.
Results: difficulties in the research skills of Anesthesiology and Resuscitation residents were identified. The most affected were: adequate literature review, use of bibliographic records, and operationalization of variables, written report preparation, and use of the Vancouver Standards.
Conclusions: the research skills of Anesthesiology and Resuscitation residents in Villa Clara Province were characterized, allowing their main strengths and weaknesses to be identified.
