ABSTRACT

Introduction: Active screening to detect possible cases of COVID-19 was an essential step indicated by Cuban health authorities in order to prevent the spread of the disease in time. The protagonists of this work were students of medical sciences.
Objective: To present the perception of students at the University of Medical Sciences of Camagüey on epidemiology and active screening in the fight against COVID-19.
Methods: An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted in September 2021. The study universe was 2573 students of medical sciences who were undergoing active COVID-19 screening in the municipality of Camagüey. A sample of 416 students from eight health areas was selected.
Results: 70.7 % of the sample was female and 73 % (304) were from the Faculty of Medical Sciences. 93.5 % of the respondents rated epidemiology as necessary for their performance as future professionals. 98.6 % (410) of the students perceived that in their health area the results of active screening were very satisfactory, satisfactory or slightly satisfactory.
Conclusions: Active screening not only allows for the transformation of health indicators, but also promotes an approach to the reality of students in Cuban medical universities that form professionals capable of transforming the world in which they live.
