- Abstract
Objective: To identify the use of information and communication sources and technologies according to the type of university in seven Latin American countries. Methods: Analytical cross-sectional study, in medical students from seven Latin American countries. The use of information and communication sources and technologies was measured with the self-report on the use of scientific search engines (SciELO, PubMed, Google Scholar) and ICT (laptop, smartphone, Wi-Fi). The secondary variables were the type of university (public / private) of origin of medical students. P values less than 0.05 were reported as statistically significant. Results: Of 4463 respondents, SciELO is used by 83.3% and 55.0% in a public and private university, respectively. While PubMed was reported by 79.9% and 59.2% of students from public and private universities, respectively. Private universities had greater use of ICT in Panama and Bolivia while in public ones Paraguay, Mexico, Colombia and Argentina had a greater use. Most students used smartphones in more than 60%. Conclusions: The smartphone was used by most students. The use of the Internet was higher in students from private universities. No large percentages of use of PubMed and SciELO were found in a public and private university. Educational strategies in the field of medical education should be reinforced due to a poor culture of evidence-based information management.
