Introduction: acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) is a serious and costly health problem that remains a challenge for medical professionals in making appropriate decisions.
Methods: a pre-experimental study was carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of the application of an intervention program to modify knowledge related to ACS by resident physicians and interns of the Internal Medicine service at the "Roberto Rodríguez Fernández" Provincial Hospital of Morón. We worked with a sample of 30 physicians, 11 residents and 19 interns, of the service. The Mc. Nemar statistical test was used to find significant differences between the level of knowledge about ACS, before and after the application of the educational program, nonparametric test for two paired samples with dichotomous variables, and the Wilcoxon signed ranks test was also used for the analysis of ordinal variables in related samples.
Results: participants had a good initial mastery of the definition of ACS and its most common causes. The initial level of knowledge was inadequate for most of them regarding predisposing factors, diagnostic elements, complications and therapeutic management; in these last four aspects there was a significant increase in the percentage of professionals with an adequate level of knowledge, as well as in the general level of knowledge, in which more than half of the participants ended up with a high level.
Conclusion: ACS is a serious health problem worldwide, which requires updated medical preparation for adequate diagnosis and treatment.
