RESUMO
En la formación de recursos humanos que se desempeñan en el sector de la salud ha predominado un carácter disciplinario y fragmentado, con influencia en el diseño de las investigaciones y por lo tanto en la producción científica. Varios autores plantean que la formación universitaria debe transitar de la disciplinariedad hacia la transdisciplinariedad. Para obtener el sustento teórico sobre este tema de alcance internacional, en el 2012 se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica en las bases de datos PubMed, Ebsco y SciELO, con los términos "investigación transdisciplinaria y traslacional" en los idiomas español e inglés. La mayoría de los autores consultados sostienen que la identificación de problemas desde diferentes perspectivas por parte de especialistas, miembros de las comunidades y directivos propiciará intervenciones intersectoriales más efectivas, y sugieren realizar un cambio organizacional en el que se modifiquen estilos de trabajo y formas auto-organizativas de la actividad científica. Finalmente, se propuso un modelo transdisciplinario para la investigación en salud pública que está basado en la utilización de las herramientas tradicionales de diseño de proyectos, pero con variantes provenientes del enfoque de los sistemas complejos.
Human resources education for health workers has been predominantly discipline-oriented and fragmented, influencing research design and, in turn, scientific output. Several authors argue that university education should transition from disciplinarity to transdisciplinarity. To gather the theoretical underpinnings for this subject of international interest, a literature search was conducted in the PubMed, EBSCO, and SciELO databases in 2012, using the terms "transdisciplinary and translational research" in Spanish and English. The majority of authors believe that identifying problems from different perspectives by specialists and community members and leaders will be conducive to more effective intersectoral interventions. They suggest undertaking organizational change to reshape reshaping work styles and self-organizational forms of scientific activity. Finally, a transdisciplinary model for public health research has been proposed that is based on traditional project design tools, but with variations borrowed from a complex systems approach.
