ABSTRACT

The learning or training requirements result from comparing the ideal or proposed performance with the real one of either an individual or a group. They are the starting point to look for an enabling pedagogic solution that contributes to the qualitative transformation of health services and their timely identification represents a fundamental tool of the continuing education.
Objective: To identify the learning requirements of the primary health care team physicians in Playa municipality in terms of drug dependence.
Methods: Learning requirements were detected through a written questionnaire anonymously and collectively administered to 18 randomly selected family physicians, who worked in three polyclinics of Playa municipality.
Results: Lack of adequate professional knowledge and skills to deal with drug dependence was shown.
Conclusions: In spite of the fact that care to drug dependence is one of the priority mental health programs within the primary health care system, most of the Comprehensive General Medicine specialists did have difficulties in managing these patients, their risky behaviour is persistent and regularly poorly explored, and their evaluation sometimes lacks elements of compulsory inquiry and knowledge, thus affecting the quality of such evaluation and the suitable follow-up of these patients.
