Abstract
BACKGROUND: Describing the perception towards the online course on Primary Health Care (PHC) of the Institute of Health for Well-being (INSABI) will allow to establish improvement actions. OBJECTIVE: Describe the factors that contribute to satisfaction with the PHC course offered online by INSABI. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 620 records of the Health Education System for Well-being were studied. Satisfaction was determined using a Likert-type questionnaire with three dimensions: virtual environment, cognitive area, and measurement of learning. A deductive analysis of the open opinions was carried out. RESULTS: 70% of the health personnel approved the course in less than a week, with an initial score of 5.41 ±1.9 points and final score of 7.8 ± 1.2. More than 65% had scores above the average in the three dimensions. Satisfaction with the virtual environment was 15.57 ± 3.4 points, and 15.73 ± 3.3 with the cognitive dimension. Age and gender were associated with dissatisfaction with the virtual environment and in the cognitive dimension, age was associated with dissatisfaction; 27.7% expressed negative comments, 28.5% related to course extension; 15.5% about the didactic techniques, 10.9% about the speakers and 10.4% about the final exam. CONCLUSIONS: The course generates significant learning, 62.4% of the students have a positive or neutral opinion. However, 27.8% expressed dissatisfaction, the majority related to the extension of the course.
