title: Perception of internship preceptors on the influence of models on medical education

description: Abstract: Introduction: Professionalism is the basis of social contract which legitimizes medicine as profession, and it can be developed through interaction with good professional models. As preceptor, health professionals have, among their attributes, to accompany students while developing his/her care function, thus becoming a model to form future professionals. Objective: This article aims to verify internship tutors’ perception on models’ influence on their medical training at the University Hospital of Vassouras (HUV). Method: This is an exploratory qualitative research, whose methodology consisted of two stages. The first comprised a structured questionnaire about sociodemographic data, while the second contemplated the accomplishment of an online focus group on the digital zoom platform. Result: From 42 preceptors invited to participate, 28 actually participated, representing 75.6%. Data analysis evidenced the importance attributed by preceptors to their role as educators not only for the training of future doctors technically qualified to exercise humanized medicine, but also for professionals endowed with ethical principles, values and commitments. Conclusion: It was concluded that preceptors exercise their role with great pleasure and commitment, self-perceiving that they are models of professionalism and that they can represent positive or negative examples for students. It is also noteworthy that the professionalism theme needs to be made explicit in the construction of curricula, rather than being restricted to the hidden curriculum in education.

title: Professional competencies for occupational health care

description: Abstract: Introduction: For health actions aimed at the working population, the development of professional competencies during the graduation is essential. Although relevant and well defined by the National Occupational Health Policy, there are still gaps regarding the minimum skills required and lack of knowledge about how the articulation of this competencies to promote integrated work and meet the needs of this population. Objective: This study aimed to identify the professional competencies for occupational health care. Method: Descriptive-exploratory research, with a qualitative approach, developed through the triangulation of methods, carried out in a city in the interior of the State of São Paulo, Brazil. Data were collected in three stages: 1. document analysis of the National Curriculum Guidelines for health courses and pedagogical projects for seven courses in the health area of a higher education institution; 2. systematic literature review; and 3. interviews with professors from the health courses of that institution and with professionals from the municipal Primary Health Care Network. Result: The document analysis allowed us to identify that only the Physical Education, Nursing, Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy courses have specific competences for worker health care; the analysis of the pedagogical projects pointed to mandatory and optional subjects that address the theme. The literature review and interviews pointed out the general and specific skills needed for worker health care, such as comprehensive care, understanding the social determinants of health, communication, leadership, teamwork, conflict management, welcoming/qualified listening, health management and continuing education. Conclusion: The identification of general and specific professional skills for occupational health care proved to be extremely relevant for the construction of comprehensive and humanized care in training and interprofessional practice.

title: Impostor Syndrome and its association with depression and burnout among medical students

description: Abstract: Introduction: The Impostor Syndrome (IS) is characterized as inability to internalize success and tendency to attribute success to external causes such as luck, error or ignorance of other people. Despite the recent increase in the number of IS publications, studies on this condition in undergraduate medical students and the impact on mental health are scarce. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of IS and its association with Burnout Syndrome (BS) and depression. Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive and quantitative study was carried out with undergraduate medical students at a university center in Northeast Brazil. A sociodemographic questionnaire, the Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale (CIPS), the Maslach Burnout Inventory - Student Survey (MBI-SS) and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) were used. Results: Of the 425 students assessed, 47 (11.06%), 151 (35.53%), 163 (38.35%) and 64 (15.06%) had mild, moderate, severe and very severe IS symptoms, respectively. Not being married, having a low level of physical activity and not contributing to family income were associated with severe or very severe IS symptoms (p &lt; .001, p = .032 and p = .025, respectively). Previous medical diagnosis of depression, anxiety and use of antidepressants are also associated with severe or very severe IS symptoms (p = .019, p = .006 and p = .011, respectively). In addition, there was a positive correlation between the CIPS and PHQ-9 scale scores (p = .459, p &lt; .001), and an association between BS (Emotional Exhaustion and Cynicism dimensions) and IS (p &lt; .001). Conclusion: This study identified an association between IS and BS and depression among undergraduate medical students. Further studies with interventions against IS may show a positive impact on mental health.

title: We need to talk about the use of methylphenidate by medical students - review of the literature

description: Abstract: Introduction: Studies methylphenidate (MPH) has been used by medical students to increase their mental activity and improve the performance required during undergraduate school, generating concern regarding the risks to their physical and mental health. This scenario indicates the need for specifically aimed measures in medical schools. Objective: To review the literature about the use of MPH without medical indication amongst medical students. Method: A thorough review of the literature published in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, between 2013 and 2019, based on data made available by Pubmed and Scielo, utilizing keywords in the three above languages, along the four stages of the selection process. Results and Discussion: Altogether, 224 articles were found, of which 25 were selected after reading, dealing with the use of MPH or ‘cognition enhancer’ by undergraduate medical students without a doctor’s prescription. The research indicated significant variability in the frequency of consumption, related to the investigated pattern of use, use with or without indication, before or after entering University and country where the study was carried out. The most frequent justification for the use without medical indication was to attain improvement in academic performance. A lack of research with a fair appraisal of the cognition, behavioral and psychic risks involved, among them addiction and the approach of the topic in medical schools, was noted. Conclusion: The high rates of usage of MPH by medical students aiming at cognitive enhancement strengthens the importance of preventative actions in medical schools. The strategies must consider information concerning the risks of use (of MPH) without medical indication; non-pharmacological interventions for performance improvement; sleep hygiene measures organization for adequate study activities; broad discussions about ethical aspects and curricular structure.

description: Abstract: Introduction: Five percent of the Brazilian population lives with some level of hearing impairment. Despite this number, few of these people have access to higher education. National legislation defends the integration and, mainly, the inclusion of these people in the Brazilian academic environment. There are few data on the access of the hearing impaired to the Medicine course in Brazil. Experience report: This article brings reports of experiences of a medicine student with hearing impairment, her monitor and her professors, with the aim of discussing the challenges faced. A contextualization with the current literature was carried out. Discussion: The student reports her difficulty in understanding semiological terms, as well as her alternatives for acquiring skills related to the physical examination. The role of the monitor and the teacher is approached with personal accounts that show how inclusion is possible and challenging. Conclusion: Hearing impaired students benefit from academic adequacy aimed at integration and inclusion to successfully acquire and train their semiotechnical skills. There is an urgent need for new Brazilian research in this area, mainly related to medicine and medical education.

title: Active methodologies and digital technologies in medical education: new challenges in pandemic times

description: Abstract: Introduction: Medical education in Brazil is going through a time of great transformation that requires adaptations and new teaching models. Given the speed with which new information in the health area is produced, the incorporation of digital technologies in educational practice becomes essential, enabling virtual interaction and access to remote databases. The association between digital technologies and active methodologies, which promote student autonomy and the development of critical-reflective thinking, entails new challenges in education. This essay analyzes the use of digital technologies in medical and health education, highlighting their association with the main forms of active methodologies and the challenges of remote education, in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. Development: Due to social distancing measures and the interruption of in-person educational activities, educational institutions have experienced drastic changes with the need for rapid adaptation to mitigate the impacts of the pandemic on education. The use of digital tools such as virtual platforms and remote access (synchronous and asynchronous) were widely used strategies. Potential challenges in the association between active methodologies and remote learning were investigated to problematize the educational process during the pandemic. Conclusion: The Covid-19 pandemic highlighted the need for innovation in teaching-learning methods and accelerated the use and adaptation to digital technologies. The association of these technologies with active methodologies has become a new challenge for teachers and students and further studies are required on the effectiveness and implications of remote learning for the training of future health professionals.

title: The Thesis of God's Choice of The Best: an Exception in The Modal Theory of Leibniz

description: The proposition "God chooses the best" is for Leibniz an undeniable truth, as well as a fundamental premise in both his explanation of this world's existence and his theodicy. Leibniz thought it was necessary to clarify its modal status, in virtue of this matter's connection with God's freedom. Nevertheless, while dealing with this problem, he was led to violate his own modal theory's principles, in order to sustain the contingency of that proposition. This paper intends to show that Leibniz's main view regarding the modality of this proposition represents a sort of exception in the framework of his modal conception, and that this uncertainty reveals the profound reasons of his numerous textual hesitations on the subject.

title: Maximal Specific Arguments in Defeasible Argumentation

description: Abstract DeLP (Defeasible Logic Programming) es un sistema de argumentación rebatible que captura razonamientos de sentido común. Algunos ejemplos propuestos en la literatura muestran que el sistema obtiene resultados contraintuitivos. Una posible causa de tales resultados es propuesta y se sugiere una manera de neutralizarla. Esto se hace mediante una preselección de los argumentos en base a un criterio denominado máxima especificidad. El criterio consiste básicamente en lo siguiente, un argumento será considerado como máximamente específicos solo si, para cualquier argumento basado en evidencia más específica que no explique la misma conclusión, este no explica lo contrario ni algo más general.

title: Nussbaum on the cognitive nature of emotions

description: Abstract: Martha Nussbaum tells us that emotions are cognitive value judgments. She claims that her theory, the neo-Stoic theory of emotions, can handle traditional objections to cognitive theories of emotions. However, in this paper I hold that she improperly takes advantage of the ambiguity of the term "cognition": she faces the problems that arise when the term "cognition" is used in a very narrow sense (which claims that emotions are beliefs), resorting to a very wide sense under which any mental process is cognitive. I argue that this move does not solve the problems of the traditional cognitive theories of emotions. In order to show this, I distinguish four senses in which the term "cognitive" is used in theories of emotions, I analyze the ways Nussbaum uses them and why this move does not solve the traditional objections.
